Abstract
Indonesia has occupied East Timor for the past twenty years. In spite of continuous military actions, and the death or displacement of one‐third of its population, East Timor has not been conquered. During the course of the struggle, the East Timorese have developed a distinct sense of nationality and adopted the major vernacular language, Tétun, for communication. More than ninety per cent of the population are Roman Catholics, and the Church has become the moral fortress of the oppressed. A change of leadership in Indonesia could trigger off great upheavals and give the East Timorese another chance at independence.
