EAST Timor’s struggle for peace has resurfaced, with violence in the streets again leaving thousands of people fearing for their lives and future.
It is a reminder that we cannot forget our near neighbour.
In the minds of many Australians, East Timor has been pushed to the background since the independence struggle was won in 1999.
But it is in this time of transition that the Timorese need our prayers and assistance more than ever. Let us not let them down.
