                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[POST-POWER SYNDROME: A NEW ISSUE IN EAST TIMOR TODAY <BR> <BR>Its time to educate the immature Timorese politicians. The year 2000 witnessed the raise of Timorese radical political groups such as gangs of former "unofficial" Falintil guerrillas and the splinter group of the historic Fretelin party, CPD-RDTL. These groups have instigated disruption all over East Timor which panicked many who are yet to recover themselves from September 1999 uprising. <BR> <BR>It is important that Capacity Building Program becomes the highest priority of the transitional administration in the period leading up to the national election. <BR> <BR>Some political leaders have exchanged words in the uncensored local newspapers without observing the code of ethichs of media publication. Jose Ramos Horta onece lambasted the CPD-RDTL as thieves and idiots in the local media. Likewise, Gil da Costa of CPD-RDTL has also made unhealthy comments in STL insulting Ramos Horta for the former comments in the same paper. <BR> <BR>While some small political party leaders would refrain themselves from mingling into others&#039; internal affairs, some immature politicians and Ngo activists have added to the already unhealthy political atmosphere by making unfavorable comments in the media that triggered conflicts at the society at large. <BR> <BR>With the exception of Xanana, politicians such as Lu&#039;Olo and Mari Alkatiri of Fretelin and others have not shown yet their capabilities to rule the country in the future. Most of UDT and Fretelin (the two biggest political groups)politicians are still romancing with the past, 1975. Using their past as justification, these parties think they are the ones who represente the true will of the East Timorese. Post-power syndrome still the main problem to be taken care of in East Timor. <BR> <BR>Get up men, it is 2000, not 1975 <BR> <BR>Timorese still needs help! <BR> <BR>Mau-Buti]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It&#039;s a horrible thing to see a country like Indonesia that wasn&#039;t exactly a hotbed of war or conflict for decades being slowly pieced apart instead of pieced together by that dreaded disease common to men--the I-want-things-my-way-no-matter -what disease. In Indonesia, as in other such places where the population are largely lacking in higher education and so are more in touch with their animalistic tendencies than their humanity, this disease is very widespread, especially among the male population who tend to put their wants first before those of the weak members of their population. Hence the loss of respect for humanity in East Timor during the terror rampage of the militias and now Aceh. Men want things their way so for them, to hell with the suffering they cause women, children, and old people. How I wish I dared sell my soul for the power to wish all such men to be wiped from the face of the earth. The world has far too many such fake men around. I call them fake men because their first true loves are themselves.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The words from East Timor independence spokesman Jose Ramos Horta said that "We are part of South Pacific nations. We are not part of ASEAN." My opinion is that, so far East Timor is situated in a developing country. East Timor is nice to be an unique Catholic based country neighbouring over 17,000 Muslim based islands. We hope those independence leaders don&#039;t mislead East Timor&#039;s future towards it&#039;s own isolationism; because the about 800,000 population are still depending on the global cares and reciprocation to survive. I suggest the present East Timor&#039;s attitude should toward whatever the someone&#039;s offered sincerities, Timorese should take the appreciation and achieve their development. Timorese can have friends from their neighbors of Singapore. Thailand, Philippines, China/Hong Kong/Macau beside Australia/New Zealand. Except someones are so covetous, otherwise most of the ethnic Chinese compatriots have learnt a lesson from resented Indonesia&#039;s Exclusive Chinese Movement and ethnic violence; we don&#039;t see their (Chinese) overseas remittance will deposit back to reinvest in a bankrupt Islamic Indonesia rather than looking for another new alternative route. May be Christianity is an unique advantage to East Timor where nearby Australia. A FreePort economic model could stimulate the half-island Timor&#039;s isolationism. However so far we have not hear how to evaluate the new currency of East Timor yet since the independence have been recognized. The delay only will hurt East Timor&#039;s rebuild processing.]]></content:encoded>
