Innenfor dette igjen altså kom dokumentaren inn på noe som skjedde i Øst-Timor i 1974.
Nå har jeg ikke all infoen, men jeg vil bare si det jeg fikk vite i dokumentaren, og litt jeg fant på wikipedia. Jeg anbefaler du leser deg opp selv. Jeg satt der med sjokk.
Hvorfor er ikke dette blitt mer omtalt, hvorfor er ikke dette i historiebøkene? Dette er bare grusomt.
Indonesia gikk inn for å invadere Øst-Timor, grunnen vet jeg ikke, jeg prøver å forstå den utifra den engelske wikipedia siden. "An Indonesian official declared in December 1974: "Indonesia has no territorial ambition ... Thus there is no question of Indonesia wishing to annex Portuguese Timor.""
Tallene for hvor mange de regelrett bare gikk inn og plaffa ned er ukjent. Og dette var bare dem de skøt. Senere lot de dem sulte, og på dokumentaren sier de at de tror godt flere millioner døde. Indonesia invaderte Øst-Timor fra 1975-1999, som jeg kan forstå utifra wikipedia.
FN gjorde veldig lite i følge hva de på dokumentaren sa, og litt senere gav faktisk flere land mere penger til våpenlaging, altså, indirekte førte det til at Indonesia kunne skyte flere uskyldige mennesker.
De sa også at de ble holdt til fanger i leirer, de skjøt unger og tok kvinner til soldatenes bruk....
Jeg så bilder av avhugde hoder henge på en pinne. Jeg så filmopptak av unger som skriker og holder for ørene når skudd går av. Jeg så en reporter var i Øst-Timor og sa at alt de ville var at verden skulle bry seg, og litt senere var han og hans filmcrew osv skutt.
Omtrent samtidig skjedde det noe lignedne i Kambodsja; "Mellom 1969 og 1973 bombet sørvietnamesiske og amerikanske fly Kambodsja i et forsøk på å bekjempe Viet Cong og Røde Khmer.[34] To millioner kambodsjanere ble gjort til flyktninger av krigen og flyktet til Phnom Penh. " WIkipedia
Dette ble dekket over titalls ganger mer enn det som skjedde i Øst-Timor. Begge to er helt forferdelige hendelser, selv om det som skjedde i Øst-Timor skjedde over flere år. Likevel, hvorfor skrev media så mye mer om Kambodsja enn om Øst-Timor? Var det fordi noen på toppen ikke ville vi skulle vite at FN ikke brydde seg?
invasion. A delegation of Indonesian relief workers agreed with this statistic.[63] In an interview on 5 April 1977 with the Sydney Morning Herald, Indonesian Foreign Minister Adam Malik said the number of dead was "50,000 people or perhaps 80,000".[62]
On the day following the invasion, a committee of the United Nations General Assembly convened to debate the situation. Nations allied with Indonesia—including India, Japan, and Malaysia—wrote a resolution blaming Portugal and the Timorese political parties for the bloodshed; it was rejected in favor of a draft prepared by Algeria, Cuba, Senegal, and Guyana, among others
Indonesia's use of military force in East Timor is cited as a violation of Chapter I of the United Nations Charter, which states: "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state...." Some observers have argued that East Timor was not a state at the time of the invasion, and is thus not protected by the UN Charter. This claim mirrors those made against Indonesia by the Dutch during the Indonesian National Revolution.[74] As legal scholar Susan Marks points out, if East Timor was considered a Portuguese colony, then although "there may be some doubt about the application of this provision [of UN Charter Chapter I] in the context of an armed conflict between a colonial power and its own colony, there can hardly be doubt that it applies to force by one sovereign state against another state's colony".[75]
Indonesian military abuses against women in East Timor were numerous and well-documented.[97] In addition to suffering arbitrary detainment, torture, and extrajudicial execution, women faced rape and sexual abuse—sometimes for the crime of being related to an independence activist.
With large sectors of the population forced into resettlement camps, food production was severely limited. Those in the camps were allowed to farm only a small area of land nearby, and constant re-use of soil made it barren.[104] Hunger and starvation began to claim thousands of lives in the late 1970s. One church worker reported five hundred East Timorese dying of starvation every month in one district.[105] World Vision Indonesia visited East Timor in October 1978 and claimed that 70,000 East Timorese were at risk of starvation.[106] An envoy from theInternational Committee of the Red Cross reported in 1979 that 80 percent of one camp's population was malnourished, in a situation that was "as bad as Biafra".[107] The ICRC warned that "tens of thousands" were at risk of starvation.[108] Indonesia announced that it was working through the government-run Indonesian Red Cross to alleviate the crisis, but the NGO Action for World Development charged that organization with selling donated aid supplies.[105]
In 2006 the UN's Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation in East Timor reported that during the occupation large numbers of people were "positively denied access to food and its sources".[109] The group's final report cites testimony from individuals who were denied food, and details destruction of crops and livestock by Indonesian troops.[110] It concluded that a minimum of 73,000 people died due to hunger and illness as a result of the occupation.[111]
