East Timor plays its own tune
A small country that has recently become independent. An economy that is growing at an incredible pace thanks to gas and oil. Foreign interests. A charismatic leader. One of the poorest populations in the world. A journey to East Timor, the youngest nation in Asia.
The national flags are everywhere. On scooters, on rooftops, even on the banana trees that line the streets of Dili, the capital of East Timor. It’s the 20th of May, the eleventh anniversary of the country’s independence, and for the first time the people of East Timor are celebrating alone, without the presence of the UN forces.
