Timor-Leste pronto a assumir poder da segurança em 2012 depois do fim do mandato das ISF e UNMIT
Dili. Timor-Leste está pronto a assumir o poder para garantir a segurança e defesa da soberania de Timor-Leste em 2012, declarou o Vice PM José Luis Guterres, depois de um encontro com o Ministra da Defesa da Australia, Stephen Smith, no palácio do Governo, sexta-feira (15/04/2011). Continua o VPM José Luis Guterres,”as forças de segurança e defesa de Timor-Leste, estão prontas a assegurar a estabilidade e a soberania da RDTL”. No encontro com o Ministro da Defesa da Austrália, o Vice PM foi acompanhado pelo Secretário de Estado da Defesa, Júlio Tomas Pinto, e CEMGFA (Chefe Estado Maior General das Forças Armadas) Major General Taur Matan Ruak.
Adesão Timor-Leste a ASEAN :
O compromisso de Timor-Leste em 2012, é aderir à ASEAN como membro efectivo. Um dos critérios é a ausência das forças e potências externas no país. Se as forças externas, como ISF e a potência externa, como a UNMIT continuarem a permanecer em Timor-Leste, isso constituirá um grande obstáculo para ser membro da organização. A adesão à ASEAN, traz vantagens do ponto de vista económico, político e geoestratégico.
Ambição geoestratégica da Austrália:
Segundo o Jornal The Australian, no artigo com o título: ”ADF urged to stay in East Timor to prevent further crises (in The Australian, 11/04/2011)”. O interesse da Austrália em manter a sua influência na esfera geoestratégica em Timor-Leste, mostra-se através da manutenção das Forças ISF, da construção dum centro de processamento dos refugiados, e da detenção do monopólio das riquezas no mar de Timor, influenciando as decisões políticas ao nível do Estado.
Escreveu o The Australian, citando o pensamento do grupo Think Tank, The Australian Strategic Policy Institut (ASPI), alerta para a influência da República Popular da China em Timor-Leste dizendo que a Australia também deve jogar o seu papel. “The increasing assertiveness and almost certain expansion of China's 'soft power' approach towards East Timor will challenge Canberra's political influence," it says. Australia should not, it says, "directly compete with China for East Timor's”

Huddled together in a crowded room at the Tetum Language Book Fair in Dili, children as young as three waited with great anticipation to hear a story about their homeland. Adding to their excitement, Kirsty Sword Gusmao, the First Lady of Timor-Leste, was there to read to them in their native language, Tetum.
Stories were read to 40 eager primary school students from one of CARE’s Pen Pal schools in Dili, with many well-wishers and supporters looking on. Kirsty kept the children engaged as she playfully read stories symbolising the nation’s identity and culture.
As she reflected, ‘I loved this experience – the fun of it, the excited reaction of the children, the subtle cultural symbolism of the stories, the pride involved in reading – and listening to – stories in the Tetum language…the Storybook is a winner.’
Story reading is part of CARE’s Haburas Labarik Children’s Rights Promotion & Protection project, which promotes children’s rights through educational initiatives aimed at primary school children, teachers and women throughout Timor-Leste. The recently launched Child Rights Storybookis one of these.
In addition to stories about children’s rights from Lafaek Magazine, the storybook also includes activities for children and classroom resources for teachers. These help to provide Timor-Leste’s youngest citizens with an understanding of their fundamental human rights and, in the process, deepen their experience of the fun of learning.
‘Self-esteem is important to any child. Fostering pride in one’s country, a love of learning and an understanding of the rights and obligations involved in being a citizen helps build that self-esteem. These projects make a wonderful contribution to this goal’, Kirsty continues.
Kirsty’s reading was complemented by a live performance of Radio Lafaek from CARE’s partner Creche Foundation and a lively set of activities by the children, using the storybook. Overall, the day culminated a very rewarding three years for CARE’s Haburas Labarik project in the promotion of children’s rights and CARE’s passion and commitment to the fight for social justice for all in Timor-Leste.
Over 27,000 storybooks have been distributed to over 1,100 schools across Timor-Leste, with an additional 4,300 books for libraries and other children’s groups.
