FORMER EAST TIMOR GUERRILA FIGHTERS ATTEND A FREEDOM CELEBRATION IN
DILI.
Former East Timorese guerrilla fighters attend a freedom celebration in
Dili, November 28, 2001. East Timor president-in-waiting Xanana Gusmao
led the Falintil guerrilla forces against Indonesian troops during
Jakarta's 23-year often brutal occupation of the tiny territory.
Gusmao, who is on a three-day visit in Indonesia's West Timor, has
called on tens of thousands of East Timorese refugees who fled from the
bloodbath in East Timor after the independence ballot in 1999 to return
to the territory and rebuild their shattered land. REUTERS/Lirio Da
