Refugee presidium established
KUPANG, West Nusa Tenggara: Former pro-integration leaders established
on Monday the Presidium of East Timorese Refugees to accommodate support
for refugees of the former province of East Timor.
One of the founders, Eurico Gutteres, vowed the organization would not
get involved in politics, but would merely provide humanitarian assistance
for the refugees.
He said that the East Timorese people, who had chosen to stay in
Indonesia after separation in 1999, needed a forum to talk about their
problems. "We do not need to look back ... what we need now is
reconciliation among the East Timorese," another founder of the
presidium, Carlos de Fatima, said after the declaration.
