Time is GMT + 8 hours Posted: 03 June 2006 1403 hrs No evidence Indonesia behind East Timor unrest: Australian FM DILI : Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer on Saturday said there was no evidence that Indonesia was behind the bloody unrest in neighbouring East Timor. Downer held talks in the capital Dili with his Timorese counterpart Jose Ramos Horta as well as Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri, who has hinted at foreign involvement in nearly two weeks of violence that left at least 20 dead. "We have no evidence at all that any of the violence here in recent times has been coordinated by anybody in Indonesia, or that there has been any Indonesian involvement in it," Downer told reporters. "Indonesia doesn't want to destabilise East Timor," he said. "I think East Timor can do without (such) canards." Australia has supplied most of the 2,250 foreign troops sent it to quell the unrest. The troop presence was heavy in the streets for Downer's visit, and the capital was noticeably calmer than in recent days. But as his press conference ended, plumes of black smoke again appeared over the city. A rollerskating rink next to a petrol station had been set ablaze, and timbers collapsed inside as flames leapt from under the roof. Many houses and businesses have been torched in the unrest, and rival gangs from the east and west of the country have clashed in the streets with machetes, daggers and whatever other weapons they had to hand. The violence began after Alkatiri sacked 600 of the country's 1,400-strong army after they went on strike to protest what they said was discrimination against those from the west of the country. Westerners are generally seen as more pro-Indonesia, a sensitive issue in a country that fought a long and bloody guerrilla campaign to win independence from its larger neighbour. Alkatiri has been largely blamed for the current crisis, but President Xanana Gusmao has so far resisted calls for him to be sacked. The leader of the breakaway troops who were sacked, Major Alfredo Reinado, has said that Alkatiri must go before the crisis can be resolved. - AFP /ct http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/211761/1/.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
