"UNAMET will always support the reconciliation efforts initiated by the two Catholic church leaders in East Timor because the UN sees reconciliation as the best way to put an end to the political conflict (in the province) which has claimed many lives," David Wimhurst said. UNAMET's support to the reconciliation efforts is a commitment of the UN and the reconciliation applies not only to those in the political elite but to entire people of East Timor as well, he said. Toward that end, the UN come to East Timor to help conduct the direct ballot on the future of East Timor on August 8 and will stay in the territory until the post-ballot period to help reconcile the people of East Timor, he said. The first phase of the two-day dialog and reconciliation among East Timorese figures with varying political views ended on Sept 10 with a peace communique calling on pro-independence and pro- integration groups to try to create peace for the East Timorese's welfare.
