The end of Indonesia’s occupation of East Timor as seen from Darwin, Jakarta and West Timor

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference Paper published in Proceedings › peer-review

Abstract

This paper primarily concerns observations made when I was a PhD student in Darwin, Jakarta and West Timor around the time of the end of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor. I was in Darwin during the period leading up to the independence referendum and like countless others watched on in horror as the militias unleashed their terror. I had to travel to
Jakarta to apply for research permits only days after the arrival of the Australian-led INTERFET force in Dili and experienced the strong reaction the independence vote created there. Later, I travelled through West Timor to conduct my research and saw many signs of the dislocation caused by the militias, including the many refugee camps. The local media
and many discussions with local people further shaped my impressions.
