Abstract

This chapter deals with the mechanics of the brutal Indonesian occupation and subsequent political developments, including the introduction of limited economic and political openness from the late 1980s, up to Indonesia’s deep economic crisis of 1997–98 and the collapse of the Soeharto regime in May 1998. The occupation spelt death and misery for the East Timorese. The enormous causalities in the early years of occupation compare with the genocide in Cambodia. Whatever economic progress that took place was brutally wiped out during the course of the Indonesian retreat from East Timor after the 1999 referendum.
