As if East Timor isn’t already violent enough.

Basically, East Timor is like an Indonesian version of the Philippines. Aside from the fact that it used to be a part of Indonesia and that the people speak Spanish, there are a lot of similarities between that country and the Philippines. What happened now is that their version of the NPA or Abu Sayyaf was able to successfully attack the president head on, although at the expense of their leader.

Well, Pres. Ramos-Horta is now in Australia receiving treatment. Let’s see if he pulls through.
