Violence erupts in East Timor as independence vote nears
KERRY O'BRIEN: But first to East Timor, and with the landmark vote on independence just four days off, violence erupted in Dili just a couple of hours ago, with at least two deaths reported after pro-Indonesian militia opened fire on pro-independence supporters. The gun battle has given dramatic emphasis to the warnings by UN observers in recent days to expect a new wave of militia violence worse than any experienced so far.
If the pro-Indonesia militias do mount the last-minute terror campaign many are predicting, they'll severely embarrass Jakarta. It had guaranteed a secure environment for a genuinely free vote and the Indonesian military has repeatedly been accused of backing armed gangs. In a few minutes, I'll cross to ABC correspondent Tim Lester, who is watching the tense stand-off in Dili as we speak. But first, this background report he filed just a short time ago.
TIM LESTER: For many East Timorese, events like this are extraordinary. From the mid-70s, when Indonesia invaded, until just months ago, to demonstrate for independence was to risk being shot. "So all my brothers, this is the time," says Frederico Da Costa, "enough for 24 years." A retired mariner, he's one among 450,000 East Timorese who will choose on Monday between autonomy within Indonesia or independence.
FREDERICO DA COSTA, FORMER PRO-INDONESIA ACTIVIST: I still have hope that if independence w ins, people will have more freedom and a better life.
TIM LESTER: Like so many here, the 65-year-old's decision on how to vote has been forged by years of brutality. It was a very different Frederico Da Costa, who in 1974 helped form Apodeti, the political group that lobbied for East Timor's integration within Indonesia.
FREDERICO DA COSTA: After I saw what happened I feel very sad, because I'm one of those who led the people to integration and I still have a responsibility for that.
BASILIO ARAUJO, PRO-INDONESIA ACTIVIST: In case we fall for independence, we'll face what we faced in 1975.
TIM LESTER: At pro-Indonesia rallies like this one in the northern coastal town of Manatu to, one message is economic.
BASILIO ARAUJO: After three months, there was no oil, there is no food. I, myself, had to kill to receive just one kilogram of rice and sugar.
TIM LESTER: Another message is about the possibility of bloodshed. Some pro-integrationists speak of the UN ballot as fuel for East Timor's conflict.
BASILIO ARAUJO: What we're seeing is that the world is creating or is preparing the gladiators ready to fight each other.
DEWI FORTUNA ANWAR, PRESIDENT HABIBIE'S ADVISER: If, after the ballot, whatever the outcomes, one side, the dissatisfied side, were to take arms again, it defeats the whole purpose of this exercise. And I'm afraid the East Timorese will probably lose the only window of opportunity that they have for resolving their conflict.
TIM LESTER: The threats of violence haven't moved Indonesia's Government in the face of pre ssure for an international peacekeeping force. President Habibie's spokesperson says Indonesia will handle security.
DEWI FORTUNA ANWAR: As long as East Timor is still legally within Indonesia, Indonesia will not accept a peacekeeping force.
TIM LESTER: In fact, violence will influence many votes on Monday and not just those backing Indonesia. Frederico Da Costa's political about-face began when Indonesia's military killed many of his relatives, among the one-third of all East Timorese who died in the invasion's early years. It was completed when his son joined a protest eight years ago to Dili's Santa Cruz cemetery.
FREDERICO DA COSTA: This one was lost on 12 November. I feel proud because he lost his life, but he died for his future.
TIM LESTER: As many as 270 died in a hail of gunfire from Indonesia's military. One son dead in the Dili massacre, Frederico tried to send his other son away to a safer country.
FREDERICO DA COSTA: He told me, "I want to fight for East Timor's independence and if I will die, I will die in East Timor. I don't want to go away."
TIM LESTER: He simply says this son is yet to come home. Another family member told us the young independence fighter was beheaded by militia.
EURICO GUTERRES, DILI MILITIA LEADER: I will fight until my last drop of blood.
TIM LESTER: The feared leader of Dili-based militia, Aitarak, Eurico Guterres sees a divided East Timor after Monday's vote, severed into Indonesian and independent states.
EURICO GUTERRES: Something should be arranged for those living in the new country and those in the old country. We will make new rules and draw a new border.
DR DOMINGOS DE SOUSA, EAST TIMORESE ACADEMIC: We feel that there will be some violence after the ballot.
TIM LESTER: Academic and independence supporter Domingos de Sousa expects Jakarta to sabotage the ballot. He, like many, sees East Timor's militias as a front for the Indonesian military, which he says has too much pride to simply pack up and leave.
DR DOMINGOS DE SOUSA: Whenever they think that they have lost, they will destroy, they will destroy before leaving. So this is how they're afraid about the problem.
TIM LESTER: You wouldn't expect Indonesia's military to leave peacefully?
DR DOMINGOS DE SOUSA: I don't suppose that, because look at what is going until today.
DEWI FORTUNA ANWAR: Why would we not be sincere in carrying out a policy which this govern ment had introduced in the first place and which for its own credibility is very much dependent upon?
TIM LESTER: Across Dili harbour, independence convert Frederico Da Costa looks out on an Indonesian naval vessel with suspicion. He has some powerful reasons for mistrusting Jakarta, but he's hopeful. If the independence movement wins, he says he might even shave the beard he began growing when his son vanished. A pro-independence vote on Monday seems likely, but that will almost certainly stir some violence from pro-Indonesia groups. Frederico Da Costa knows there are still obstacles before the Indonesia he once wanted in East Timor is gone.
