A new nation was born, dirt-poor but filled with hope and optimism. Seven years on, the Australian soldiers are back, trying to stop more bloodshed. Again, thousands of terrified East Timorese have become refugees. Lives have been taken and properties burnt and trashed, in fewer numbers this time. Now Xanana Gusmao walks in pain and weeps with his people. The tiny country?s convulsions have given rise to an uncomfortable notion, that it could be lurching towards failed statehood, that the bold independence journey might derail into civil war. But the key question of East Timor?s future is bound inextricably to the present: What ? who ? is causing the present turmoil? Four Corners looks for an answer by peeling back the layers of this multi-tiered conflict that pits soldier against policeman, easterner against westerner and prime minister against president. Reporter Liz Jackson reports from East Timor?s capital Dili and the outlying mountains, tapping into the secret agendas and shifting alliances of key players and showing how their power struggles are grinding down an already traumatised people. Jackson broke the recent story of the claims by former Falintil fighters that they had been hired by Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri to kill and intimidate opponents ? an allegation denied by Alkatiri. This report will also break news as well as providing insight into the evolving tragedy of East Timor. ____________________________________________________________Encoding__ File Name....: East Timor - Stoking the Fires (2006-TVRip-d0x).avi File Size....: 399 MB (or 409,290 KB or 419,112,960 bytes) Frames.......: 624x368 (1.70:1) [=39:23] @ 0.193 bits/pixel Video Codec..: XviD @ 1109 kb/s Audio Codec..: MP3 @ 128 kb/s (64/ch, stereo) CBR _________________________________________________________________d0x__ Sharing Widget |
