    East Timor: A Nation Divided
    Gold
    International Picture Story
     
    East Timor, situated 640km of the northern Australian Coast, turned chaotic in March when soldiers went on strike complaining of ethnic discrimination within the ranks. In the power vacuum, ethnic gangs took over the street in violence that mirrored the mayhem of 1999, when the United Nations supervised an independence referendum that ended 24 years of oppressive Indonesian occupation.
