Just heard the news about the Popular Consultation Day (August 30) in East Timor. Tomorrow will be the 10th anniversary of East Timor independence. It reminds me how much difficult they have gone through to become an independent nation 10 years ago. Wish all the best to those brave people in East Timor who fought with their lives for the freedom and independence.

East Timor buries independence fighters

The remains of independence fighters killed in East Timor's remote hills were buried at a new site at Metanero.
Hundreds of East Timorese have been attending a ceremony near Dili to remember those who died in the fight for independence.
Sunday marks 10 years since East Timor's vote for independence on August 30 in 1999.
