Featured this week:
EAST TIMOR: WHAT ROLE FOR PEACEKEEPERS? Despite their overwhelming
vote for independence, the East Timorese people are being terrorised
by armed pro-Indonesian gangs. Peacekeepers may reduce the bloodshed,
but the Western powers that earlier backed the Indonesian occupation
are not reliable friends.
