2001 BLH: Tinjauan Tentang Bantuan Bilateral untuk Timor Lorosa’e
Artikel ditambahkan tanggal 1 Januari
2002
"Sampai dua tahun yang lalu, masyarakat
internasional umumnya mengabaikan Timor Lorosa’e. Pendudukan
militer Indonesia yang ilegal menurut hukum internasional telah menghalangi
banyak negara untuk mengirimkan bantuan ekonomi kepada Timor Lorosa’e.
Tetapi, dengan berakhirnya pendudukan itu, banyak negara mendanai proyek-proyek
di sini. Bantuan ekonomi ini tidak bisa menggantikan pengabaian itu, dan
jumlah uang yang dikirim para donor tidaklah cukup untuk mengganti kerugian
akibat penindasan Indonesia selama hampir 24 tahun – penindasan
yang juga didanai dan didukung oleh banyak negara donor yang sama –
tetapi penting untuk membuat Timor Lorosa’e kembali berdiri di atas kakinya
sendiri." La'o Hamutuk: Institut Pemantau dan Analisis

8 ETNGOs: Commemoration Day of the Commencement of the Pacific War
Letter added Jan 24
"The Pacific War which was begun by the
Imperial Nation of Japan on 8 December sixty years ago, cost around 40,000
innocent lives in East Timor during the time period of three and half
years of the military occupation of the Emperor of Japan. ... History is
very important in order to build a better future. For that reason, mistakes
of the past have to be straighten out before steps can be made forward.
If not, human history has already proven similar mistakes will be repeated.
... We are aware that Japan is the largest donor nation for the
East Timor Trust Fund and has given major attention to the reconstruction
of East Timor. And we too would like to express our gratitude for this
assistance. However, this assistance may not simply cover up the wounds
that have been inflicted by the Japanese military on this land of East
Timor. If there is no justice, there can be no betterment of life." Representatives
of 20 East Timorese Non-Government Organisations (NGOs)
