For My Comrade, Naldo Rei's Poem

Naldo Rey


















 For My Comrade

Today I come to visit you, comrade
to wake you up in the morning.

You hear the loud voices
from the machine guns
and the voices of crying shakes you, comrade

I come to visit you, Comrade
To knock on the window of your heart;
To the voices of the guns

Listen, My comrade
The bullets from the guns
have already slaughtered
200,000 innocent people
They are the Maubere people

Don't let death happen, my comrade
Give your time
and contemplate
without doubt
To liberate East Timor
from the tyrant

Let peace come
Let justice come
Deeply in your heart
I will record your willingness
in the heart of Maubere people

East Timor Revisited Ford, Kissinger and the Indonesian Invasion, 1975-1976 Ford and Kissinger Gave Green Light to Indonesia's Invasion of East Timor, 1975: New Documents Detail Conversations with Suharto National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 62 Edited by William Burr and Michael L. Evans December 6, 2001 The New Evidence The Indonesian invasion of East Timor in December 1975 set the stage for the long, bloody, and disastrous occupation of the territory that ended only after an international peacekeeping force was introduced in 1999. President Bill Clinton cut off military aid to Indonesia in September 1999—reversing a longstanding policy of military cooperation—but questions persist about U.S. responsibility for the 1975 invasion; in particular, the degree to which Washington actually condoned or supported the bloody military offensive.  Most recently, journalist Christopher Hitchens raised questions about the role of former Secreta
