UN SPECIAL ENVOY JAMSHEED MARKER GREETS EAST TIMORESE.
United Nations Secretary-General's personal representative to East Timor Jamsheed Marker (R) is greeted by a crowd of Timorese August 30 in Beacu, about 105 kilometers east of Dili. The United Nations said half of East Timor's voters had turned up to vote in the first hours of polling on Monday in a ballot that is expected to set the bloodied territory on the path to independence.
