Rabbits & Chickens
so everyone's waiting for D-DAY when the results of the independent commission's inquiry will be released. Apparently the delay in the release has been due to the commission's decision to translate the findings in 4 languages - Portuguese, English, Indonesian and Tetum. A really good idea i must say because publishing it in Portuguese would probably mean 5% of the population will understand anything! An interesting report by the International Crisis Group has been published - so if you want the lowdown on the Timor crisis - click on this link : Resolving Timor-Leste's crisis. You will find some interesting references to rearing rabbits and chickens, soap and handwashing (without particular concern to hygiene!), and monkeys.

haha. now i get what u mean by the rabbits and chicken, soap handwashing and monkeys! haha. that was really some entertainment. however, i still do not believe that Xanana was "bitter" in what he said(as what the report state). I feel he is saying what he feels and perhaps feeling a lot of pain that the country is in such a state bcos of ppl playing politics. Viva Xanana! oops, we're not suppose to "viva this and viva that". haha.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, here's 2 responses to the ICG's report which I feel could be true. The report seems a bit biased and some looks like allegations than facts.
