East Timor is the newest emerging nation, born on the 20th of May
2002. It has a long history of occupation by first the Portuguese
and then from 1975-1999 the Indonesians. After a long and bitter
resistance and struggle for independence, the people of Timor is
finally free. Today, the place still tells of the past destruction
but the people are moving on and looking forward to a brighter future.
