East Timor - development or madness?
Now that the most spectacular events of the 1999 violence in East Timor
have passed, media coverage of the Timorese struggle for independencce has
been minimal in Australia. Meanwhile, violence continues in many parts of
the country, & communities struggle to rebuild their lives & their
livelihoods, despite the extreme level of destruction that went on in 1999.
Dilli is full of activity, as the interim leadership, NGOs & UNTAET (the UN
body in East Timor) oversee reconstruction, infrastructure and aid programs
to rebuild Timor. Foreign business has been quick to see their chance
within the massive development process now taking place, and Dilli has been
hailed by many as the site of the great new Capitalist experiment, where
business can expand unimpeded by the usual regulation or domestic laws
governing business & development issues.
Rowan Mitchell has been living & working in Dilli as part of the East Timor
Community Computer Project. The project was established in mid-2000 to give
practical assistance to Timorese communities in the form of computer
hardware & technical support. Rowan speaks about the project, & gives his
observations of local community development as it is (or isn't) taking
place in East Timor at present. He's speaking to Iain McIntyre, from 3cr's
SUUWA Show.
