		East Timor's wealthiest neighbor had positioned itself to be the main beneficiary of a treaty to divide the rich oil and natural-gas reserves of the Timor Sea.
		One East Timorese Foreign Ministry official was so dismayed at Australia's stance that he dropped his diplomatic guard in front of the other delegates to implore the Australian representative to see that Timor is poor, Australia is rich and that its division of the reserves is "very unfair".
		East Timor challenges this claim - which would put all of the reserves in Australian territory - pointing to the principle of a midway line between the two nations.

	Foreign Policy In Focus - Self-Determination - Regional Conflict Profile - East Timor
		East Timor's two most famous political figures, Xanana Gusmão and José Ramos Horta, are nonpartisan but have great influence: the former is expected to be elected president (and in a de facto sense is already treated as such) while the latter is the foreign minister (and a Nobel laureate).
		East Timor's largest party, and longtime opposition movement to Indonesian occupation, is Fretilin, which is lead by Chief Minister, Marí Alkatiri, and Speaker of the Constituent Assembly, Lú-Olo.
		The East Timorese themselves are often divided into two subgroups: the eastern Firaku account for around 30% of the population, while the western Kaladi form 50% (and there are groups that lie outside this divide, such as Oecussi which shares the Dawan language that predominates in West Timor).

		The East Timor Disaster: A Failure of Asian Security Richard Tanter September 7, 1999 The immediate cause of the catastrophic consequences of the UN ballot for independence in East Timor is undoubtedly the determination of the Indonesian armed forces [ABRI] to retain control of Indonesian politics prior to the upcoming presidential election.
		Thirdly, ABRI is using the violence of its East Timorese contras to send a message to the rest of Indonesia, and to the oil-rich province of Aceh in particular: "this is what the rest of you can expect if you continue to oppose us".
		Resumption of foreign loans must be made conditional on ABRI calling off the contras in East Timor, fully implementing the transition process agreed in the May 5th Agreement with the UN and Portugal, and agreeing to cooperate fully with foreign peacekeeping forces.
