Tsunami Banda Aceh, Indonesia On December 26th 2004 a 9.1 magnitude earthquake occurred off the west coast of Sumatra. The undersea megathrust earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000–280,000 people in 14 countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country

East Timorese Crisis 2006 The East Timorese crisis began as a conflict between elements of the military of East Timor over discrimination within the military, and expanded to a coup attempt and general violence throughout the country, centred in the capital Dili.

The crisis prompted a military intervention by several other countries and led to the resignation of the Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri.

East Timorese Crisis 2006 Alfredo Reinado was a major in the military of Timor-Leste. He deserted them on 4 May 2006 to join approximately 600 former soldiers who had been sacked in March 2006 sparking the 2006 East Timor crisis.

Reinado was one of the leaders of the rebel soldiers, and the highestranking deserter. After escaping prison in late 2006 he fled to the mountains of Timor hiding from the Australian Federal Police and SAS soldiers. In this exclusive photo and interview for The Australian Newspaper we tracked his hiding place down and told his story.

He was later shot and killed by local forces in 2008.

Exclusive: first meeting with fugitive Alfredo Reinado

Police give up on Dili rebel

INCLUDES GST FREIGHT EXTRA ($1.40 TAS)

Hopes for black baby ‘not realistic’

Mark Dodd AUSTRALIAN and UN police have conceded they lack the numbers to track down East Timorese rebel leader Alfredo Reinado, who has been on the run after breaking out of a Dili prison almost two weeks ago.

The fugitive army major, interviewed by The Australian in a secret location, looked fit, healthy and not harassed by the law as he launched a scathing attack on a ‘‘corrupt’’ justice system.

He also took a swipe at the new interim Prime Minister, Jose Ramos Horta, who he accused of spending too much time overseas and making promises he was unable to keep.

In his first face-to-face interview with a foreign journalist since escaping from Becora prison, Reinado called for the Catholic Church and President Xanana Gusmao to lead a national debate on ways to solve the political crisis.

Thumbing his nose at the attempts to recapture him, he said he was willing to negotiate with the Government about handing himself in, but not if it meant a return to prison. ‘‘I’m ready to face the tribunal, but when everything is fixed,’’ he said.

The Australian found Major Reinado in the country’s southern mountains after a week of protracted negotiations. This involved a series of calls to changing mobile numbers, text messages and the exchange of a secret password with one of Major Reinado’s supporters at a rendezvous four hours drive over East Timor’s main mountain range.

The police are now waiting on urgent reinforcements to help round up the rogue elements that remain a threat in the half-island state.

The Commissioner of UN police, Antero Lopes, said that extra numbers, which should start arriving next week, were needed to defeat a wall of silence created by family and friends of the rebels. ‘‘We are getting more police and with more of police presence we can get a better result.’’

Australian Federal Police spokesman Tim Dodds conceded yesterday there were not enough police to comb wide areas of East Timor to track down the Australian-trained rebel leader, who escaped from Dili’s Becora prison with 56 other inmates on August 30. ‘‘I don’t know anyone who knows exactly where he (Reinado) is. It would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack,’’ Mr Dodds said.

With about 120 AFP officers, Australia has one of the largest police deployments in East Timor but, like the 1000-strong military force, they are currently under national and not UN command.

Shock: Gavin and Alanna Rose Caroline Overington Unlike the defence forces, the AFP will join the UN but negotiations are continuing between Canberra and UN headquarters in New York about their terms of engagement.

Major Reinado, 39, admitted he escaped in a four-wheel-drive vehicle and boasted that he waved to New Zealand soldiers as he left. But he said the UN and international security forces in East Timor should concentrate on catching the other criminals who were worse than him.

But he also reserved the right of self-defence, saying he had done nothing wrong and was entitled to protect himself in his own country.

But recent claims he is prepared to fight Australian troops made him angry. ‘‘I did not say that. I’ve had good relations with the Australian military,’’ he said.

Major Reinado trained in Australia and his wife lives in Perth, where she is expecting the couple’s fourth child. ‘‘I miss them very much. My oldest kid I hear is sick. That worries me and they are alone but I’d like to thank the Australians for looking after them,’’ he said.

The rebel blamed his current plight on a corrupt legal system and self-serving politicians but said he had no intention of waging guerilla war or taking up arms against his country.

Major Reinado remained fiercely loyal to Mr Gusmao, saying he was ‘‘like a father’’. ‘‘Gusmao is the only East Timorese leader to be trusted and the only one with a capacity to heal the broken nation,’’ he said.

And he said his arrest in Dili for illegal weapons possession was concocted by pro-Portuguese political interests designed to thwart reconciliation talks planned by the President.

However, he was cagey about the issue of weapons in his possession.

Although Mari Alkatiri had resigned as prime minister in June, Major Reinado said, ‘‘Maputo socialists like Alkatiri’’ remained in the ministeries and the influence of the former prime minister was still evident.

In the long grass: Prison escapee and political rebel Major Alfredo Reinado at a secret location in East Timor at the weekend

Mark Dodd THE East Timorese army deserter whose actions ultimately led to the ousting of prime minister Mari Alkatiri has allegedly received financial help from the country’s President.

There are claims that the office of President Xanana Gusmao, a long-term rival of Dr Alkatiri, paid an outstanding hotel bill on behalf of Major Alfredo Reinado while the rebel leader was on the run.

The bill covered the six weeks Major Reinado spent at an isolated, colonial-era mountaintop lodge called the Poussada, outside the coffee-growing town of Maubisse, 75km southeast of Dili.

Staff at the hotel, including assistant manager Julio da Costa, claim the bill was paid by the office of the President.

And Major Reinado, although sceptical of claims the bill was paid by Mr Gusmao, said he could not meet the entire account and he had heard reports it was

Hideaway: The Poussada hotel, where Major Reinado stayed picked up by the President or his Australian-born wife, Kirsty Sword Gusmao.

The claims, denied by Mr Gusmao’s office, raise further questions about the coup-like strike by army officers that ultimately helped the President drive Dr Alkatiri out of office in late June this year.

Angered by what he believed was heavy-handed treatment of Dr Alkatiri and his former interior minister, Rogerio Lobato, in

Claim that President paid major’s hotel bill

US President George W. Bush will deliver a prime-time Oval Office address today to cap the fifth anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Centre, amid an increasingly bitter election-year debate over the war in Iraq.

With less than seven weeks until midterm elections, and with Republican control of Congress threatened, Vice-President Dick Cheney accused those who wanted to withdraw troops from Iraq — a clear reference to many Democrats — of sending alQa’ida the message that ‘‘the United States hasn’t got the stomach for the fight’’.

John Howard and Kim Beazley yesterday joined US ambassador

Robert McCallum at the US embassy in Canberra to remember the 2996 people killed in the al-Qa’ida attacks five years ago.

Ten Australians were also killed in the attacks on the World Trade Centre.

Mr Howard yesterday also wrote to Mr Bush, emphasising Australia’s commitment to fight terrorism. ‘‘Australia joins the United States in mourning her losses and resolving to continue the fight against terrorism and extremism in defence of our shared values,’’ he told the US leader.

quelling a political protest that left six killed, Major Reinado and 20 other supporters, mostly military police under his command, deserted for the hills.

While a deserter, Major Reinado remained loyal to his commander-in-chief, with Mr Gusmao issuing an order, seen by The Australian , for him and his group to initially base themselves in Aileu, 50km southeast of the capital. But following escalating violence in Dili in June, Major

Reinado moved deeper into the sanctuary of East Timor’s mountains, establishing his new lookout post at the Poussada.

During the peak of the political crisis in June, Major Reinado’s staunch anti-government rhetoric and actions provided a rallying point for anti-Alkatiri forces.

When Australian troops were deployed to the troubled nation, Special Air Service operatives went to the hotel to watch him.

Major Reinado spent six weeks at the Poussada but he moved out without settling his account, accumulating at a rate of $US16.80 per day per room.

There was also a modest food and beverage bill, although Major Reinado had a preference for fresh fish from a hatchery pond about 20km away.

According to Poussada staff, Major Reinado’s bill was paid by by the President. Mr da Costa, the 32-year-old assistant manager, was clear about this when questioned by The Australian last Tuesday. But within 24 hours, he

was less certain. During that time, he had also been spoken to by his boss, lodge manager Maria-Isabel Benevides, whose suspicions had been aroused by the probing questions of her only two guests that night.

The presidential payment is not confirmed by a receipt, although on Tuesday night, the hotel’s accounting records, comprising several tatty invoice books scattered loosely on the office desk, had been rearranged and tidied up as if suddenly inspected.

Asked whether the payment claims were true, Mr Gusmao’s chief-of-staff, Agio Pereira, said: ‘‘No, I don’t think so. The President does not have enough money to pay his own police.’’

Mr Pereira said Mr Gusmao was unhappy about Major Reinado staying at the Poussada because ‘‘it was a private business’’. Major Reinado said he paid some of the bill but not enough to settle the entire account for himself and his armed colleagues.

Nationals on ‘last legs’ after loss Matthew Franklin FEDERAL Liberal MPs have declared the Nationals are doomed to become a bit player in Australian politics, in the fallout over Labor’s landslide win in Queensland.

Liberals yesterday urged the Nationals to surrender their last remaining political stronghold by accepting they will never be the major party in a Queensland government.

And the embattled Nationals face a new threat after three federal independents revealed a plan to create a nationwide network of candidates to milk the party’s rural rump for support at next year’s federal poll.

Federal Vocational Education Minister Gary Hardgrave told ABC radio the Nationals should ‘‘get the hell’’ out of southeast Queensland and leave the area to the Liberals.

Saturday’s election result ignited fierce debate in Canberra yesterday, with some Liberals urging their Queensland colleagues to walk away from the

Nationals unless they accept a new approach, and others calling for unity. ‘‘The National Party is on its last legs,’’ said Brisbane Liberal Michael Johnson. ‘‘I think within the next 10 or 15 years they’ll be a dodo.’’

Mr Johnson conceded the Liberal Party had a long way to go to regain the confidence of the Queensland electorate.

But he said: ‘‘I think there is no doubt the next conservative premier in Queensland will come from the ranks of the Liberal Party.’’

AN Aboriginal baby was removed from the home of her foster parents because they had ‘‘too high’’ expectations for the child.

The couple, who own the successful Gavala Aboriginal Art Gallery in Sydney’s Darling Harbour, told the NSW Department of Community Services that they would be happy if the little girl grew up and went to university, or even worked in their gallery.

But Gavan and Alanna Rose* were told these expectations were unrealistic and that they might be too judgmental if the baby grew up to became a drug addict. ‘‘Basically, they asked us, what are your expectations for this baby?’’ Mrs Rose said. ‘‘We said we will support whatever she wants to do. If she wants to go to university, we would support that because our two children went to university. ‘‘We thought that was the right answer,’’ but Mrs Rose said DOCS told her these expectations were ‘‘unrealistic’’. ‘‘They said, ‘Your expectations are too high’. They gave me the impression that foster children weren’t expected to achieve much. ‘‘I was shocked because we believe that you can climb up, you can improve a situation.’’

Mrs Rose said DOCS also criticised her strong objection to drugs. ‘‘They asked me: ‘What about if she ended up with a drug addiction?’ ‘‘I told them: ‘I don’t like drugs. None of my children take drugs.’ ‘‘They said words to the effect of, ‘Well, that’s too harsh,’ as if there was almost an expectation that she would end up on drugs.’’

It was the second time the Rose family — who had references from more than 20 Aboriginal elders, including two indigenous MPs — had been embroiled in a dispute with DOCS over the care of an Aboriginal child.
