1500 Anti-Alkatiri demonstrators arrive from western districts 
--------------------------------------------- ----------------- 
 
2. (SBU) Late in the afternoon approximately 35 large transport 
trucks, each carrying 35 to 40 demonstrators, entered the 
capital from the west.  Bearing "Down with Alkatiri, Viva 
Xanana" banners, the trucks, carrying mostly young, unarmed men 
in civilian clothes, were escorted by tanks and troop carriers 
full of Australian and Malaysian peacekeepers.  Several known 
members of the ex-FDTL "petitioners" were spotted in the trucks 
by EmbOffs.  Leaders of the Democratic Party (PD) were also seen 
in the convoy.  The "deputy coordinator" of the demonstration 
was a PD leader from Maliana district. An EmbOff on the site 
reported that the demonstrators cooperated with the Joint Task 
Force (JTF) troops and appeared calm and peaceful.  Embassy 
sources and the Portuguese media reported that the demonstrators 
were initially stopped by Malaysian soldiers, but they were 
escorted into town by JTF forces after ad hoc telephone 
negotiations between Foreign Affairs and Defense Minister Jose 
Ramos-Horta and dissident military leader Major Augusto Tara, 
who coordinated the convoy and demonstration.  Under this 
agreement, the demonstrators were escorted through the city and 
allowed to pass by the Palacio do Governo, Parliament, and 
United Nations office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL) Headquarters, with 
a final stop at President Xanana Gusmao's office to deliver a 
petition demanding the dismissal of Prime Minister Mari 
Alkatiri.  As the trucks drove through the western suburbs en 
route to the main government buildings, bystanders jumped onto 
the trucks to join the convoy. 
 
3. (U) After arriving at the President's Office, Major Tara was 
allowed to meet briefly with President Gusmao to deliver the 
group's demands in the form of a petition.  The petition's 
demands included that Gusmao immediately dissolve Parliament and 
dismiss the Prime Minister, that he establish a transitional 
government in their place, and that national elections be held 
within six months.  If these demands are not met within 48 
hours, the petition continues, the demonstrators will organize a 
national strike against the government. 
 
4. (U) The two men later emerged and gave impromptu speeches 
from the top of one of a car parked in front of the President's 
office.  The President told the crowd that the current situation 
is a complicated and dangerous crisis which is difficult for the 
Government to solve.  He continued by saying that it is 
important that the crisis be resolved step-by-step and asked the 
demonstrators to return home to their districts so that this 
important work could continue.  The President then reaffirmed 
his duty to protect the people and told the crowd that if he 
fails to fulfill this duty, they should return to speak with him 
directly.  Major Tara then announced in a brief speech that he 
was coordinating an effort across all 13 districts to fight for 
peace and justice in the country.  After the speeches ended, the 
demonstrators were escorted back out of the city by JTF forces. 
Although the President had asked that they return to their 
homes, Embassy has received unconfirmed reports that some or all 
of the demonstrators may have proceeded only as far as Tasitolu, 
just to the west of Dili. 
 
5. (U) Although today's demonstrators came from the western 
districts, they made a point of disavowing any east-west 
hostilities. Some of the demonstrators carried signs with 
 
DILI 00000296  002.2 OF 004 
 
 
legends such as "Loromonu-Lorosa'e hamutuk hatun Alkatiri" 
(East-West united to remove Alkatiri").  Embassy sources have 
reported that a convoy from the Eastern districts was to have 
joined the demonstration in Dili, but that this convoy was 
disbanded after an appeal from Brigadier General Taur Matan Ruak 
and President of Parliament Francisco Lu'Olo Guterres. 
 
Ambassador meets with new Minister of the Interior 
--------------------------------------------- ------------ 
 
6. (U) Ambassador Rees met today with newly appointed Minister 
of the Interior Alcino Baris, who was just about to chair the 
first co-ordination meeting among Australian, Portuguese, New 
Zealand, and Malaysian police officials.  Baris said the police 
service (PNTL) is operating normally everywhere in the country 
outside Dili and can be restored to operational status in Dili 
as soon as the international forces and President Gusmao believe 
this to be appropriate.  He said PNTL officers are not 
participating in joint patrols with international forces but 
that they are sometimes being used as interpreters.  Baris said 
he intended to re-establish the disciplinary system within the 
next few days and to be sure that PNTL officers who are known to 
have committed human rights violations will not be assigned to 
sensitive positions, even if these violations have not yet been 
the subject of disciplinary proceedings.  He also said that PNTL 
officers from the eastern and western districts are now working 
--- and in some cases living --- side by side at the Police 
Academy and PNTL Headquarters in Dili, and that reconciling 
"Loromonu/Lorosa'e" differences within the Department will be 
among his top priorities. 
 
7. (C) Comment:  Although Minister Baris said all the right 
things in today's meeting and seemed genuinely happy to be 
meeting with the U.S. Ambassador, it remains to be seen whether 
he will follow through.  He is a member of the "Mozambique 
group" who served until recently as an apparently loyal deputy 
to disgraced ex-Minister Rogerio Lobato.  During the recent 
violence he sought refuge with President Gusmao and has 
reportedly shared with the President numerous unsavory details 
of Lobato's conduct in office.  One cause for concern is that 
Baris was accompanied in the meeting by Deputy PNTL Commissioner 
Ismael Babo, who was regarded as Lobato's closest ally in the 
PNTL until late May when he too sought refuge with President 
Gusmao.  PNTL Commissioner Paulo Martins, a Gusmao ally who 
earned Lobato's enmity in part because he refused to implement 
Lobato's orders to use excessive force against demonstrators and 
other perceived adversaries, was not in today's meeting, and 
Baris deflected questions that would have given him an 
opportunity to express his confidence in Martins.  End Comment. 
 
 
Parliament deliberates with a bare quorum 
--------------------------------------------- ---------- 
 
8. (U) According to the National Parliament's majority leader, 
Francisco Branco, deliberations continued today in Parliament 
regarding the current crisis.  Parliamentarians appealed for the 
Government to address the problem of weapons distribution in the 
country, with particular emphasis on weapons that are now in the 
hands of civilians.  Branco reported that 45 Members of 
Parliament (MPs)were present today, the minimum number needed 
for a quorum.  Among these, he said, there was at least one 
representative each from most opposition parties.  However, a 
number of prominent opposition leaders have told Emboffs they 
are staying away from Parliament because they fear for their 
lives.  The parliamentary leader of one opposition party did 
report for work at Parliament today, but she reported that upon 
entering the Parliament building she was confronted by a male 
Fretilin member of parliament who threatened that "we will shoot 
the opposition people dead."  She then returned home without 
entering the Parliament building. 
 
Portuguese paramilitary police continue operations without JTF 
Coordination 
 
DILI 00000296  003.2 OF 004 
 
 
--------------------------------------------- 
 
9. (C) The Security Attache at the Portuguese Embassy conveyed 
the frustration of the Portuguese paramilitary police (GNR) in 
sharing policing responsibilities with the Australian-led JTF. 
Showing virtually no intent to coordinate activities with the 
Australians, the Attache stated that the GNR and JTF forces 
could simply coordinate on an ad hoc basis on the ground rather 
than needing to work together at the highest levels.  GNR and 
JTF leaders have had preliminary meetings but have not yet 
exchanged liaison officers.  Nor do they appear to have 
established clear channels of communication. The Portuguese 
Attache characterized this afternoon's co-ordination meeting at 
the MInistry of the Interior, which included the Portuguese 
Ambassador as well as what appeared to be several GNR members 
and several Australian police officers, as a preliminary meeting 
"to coordinate how they will coordinate." 
 
10. (C) The GNR clearly sees itself as the entity currently 
responsibly for gendarme-like policing which would respond to 
riots and demonstrations and be responsible for "imposing 
overall order".  In the GNR view, JTF soldiers should be 
responsible for disarming civilians and dissidents and 
Australian Federal Police ought be assigned to community 
policing.  GNR forces also do not appear to be under the direct 
command of any GOET official.  The Attache informed EmbOff that 
while GNR commanders keep the new Minister of the Interior and 
the Office of the President abreast of their activities, the GNR 
initiates operations based on reports of unrest received by the 
Portuguese Embassy, informing the GOET only at a later stage. 
The GNR sees these activities as authorized under an agreement 
signed between Minister Ramos-Horta and the Portuguese 
Ambassador which reportedly grants the GNR policing authority 
for Dili and surrounding environs.  The few people who have been 
arrested during the GNR's initial operations yesterday and today 
have been handed over to the Prosecutor General's Office, which 
has in turn placed them in a Timorese-run jail. The Attache 
reported that the GNR's operations would be more frequent and 
more robust once a planeload of equipment arrives from Portugal 
early next week. 
 
11. (C) When questioned about a timeline for the GNR's mission 
in Timor, the Portuguese Attache reported that the agreement 
signed between the GOET and the GOP committed the GNR to 
remaining until national elections are held.  In addition to 
acting as a policing authority, the GNR plans to retrain the 
Timorese riot police, the Rapid Intervention Unit (UIR), and 
possibly a new and as-yet nonexistent border unit similar to the 
Special Reserve Unit (PRU).  The Attache continued by 
reiterating that Portugal does not intend to provide a general 
police force for the country and he said his Government will 
likely encourage countries in the region to provide a more 
routine police force.  Although not explicitly stated, the 
Attache clearly implied that the GOP is reluctant to accept an 
arrangement whereby the Australian Federal Police would be given 
direct policing authority in East Timor, preferring instead a UN 
Police Contingent similar to the one established under UNTAET. 
While the GOP appears to have strong views on the role of the 
GNR, both the Attache and other officers at the Portuguese 
Embassy appear quite willing to discuss future policing 
arrangements with other embassies.  (Comment:  Embassy 
respectfully suggests that the Department ask our missions in 
Canberra and Lisbon to urge the GOA and GOP to coordinate more

Malaysian diplomats announce need for external funding 
--------------------------------------------- --------- 
 
12. (C) The Malaysian Embassy told us they are worried they 
cannot sustain their participation in the Joint Task Force (JTF) 
beyond 30 days without the financial assistance they believe 
would be provided by a UN mandate.  The 300 Malaysian troops are 
controlling the sector west of the Comoro River, near the 
airport.  The Malaysians report they are pleased with the 
 
DILI 00000296  004.2 OF 004 
 
 
cooperation within the JTF.  The colonel commanding the 
Malaysian contingent takes orders from Australian Brigadier Mick 
Slater, commanding the Joint Task Force.  The Malaysians share 
Australian concerns about the Portuguese police (GNR) answering 
directly to the President and Prime Minister of East Timor. 
They told Emboff, however, that they hoped today's meeting of 
Australian, Malaysian, Portuguese, and New Zealand police 
representatives with Interior Minister Baris will help in 
coordinating the policing effort.  Embassy will report further 
when the results of this afternoon's coordination meeting are 
known. 
 
Security conditions in the city 
------------------------------- 
 
13. (SBU) About five gunshots were heard last night in the 
neighborhoods directly behind the US Embassy.  There were also 
reports of gunfire in other neighborhoods, including some 
reports that a gun was fired from a speeding car.  JTF forces 
responded by searching the area within 30 minutes of the 
gunfire.  Fires continued around the city overnight and during 
the day, but appear to be less frequent than in previous days. 
Today, JTF forces conducted a cordon and search operation in the 
Pantai Kelapa, Fatuhada, and Comoro neighborhoods near the US 
Embassy.  The operation was conducted by the ADF Battle Group 
and is still ongoing. 
 
Internally displaced persons 
---------------------------- 
 
14. (SBU) A representative of the International Organization for 
Migration (IOM) told EmbOff that a sizeable number of internally 
displaced persons (IDPs) have begun to leave the camps, not for 
their homes in Dili but rather for the districts from which they 
or their families originally came.  Many more reportedly wish to 
follow, but IOM and UNHCR are waiting for approval from the GOET 
before committing transportation resources to an operation that 
would relocate Dili residents to other districts.  International 
aid agencies and NGOs have established focal points in each IDP 
camp to improve coordination, but NGO representatives have 
stated that communications between the IDP camps and the JTF and 
GNR security forces need to be improved to provide for more 
speedy responses to security threats to the camps by youth gangs 
and other troublemakers.  A recently arrived UNHCR team has 
received two planeloads full of tents, plastic sheeting, and 
other materials that they say will be used to establish new, 
well-planned camps with good sanitation facilities where IDPs 
from the overcrowded existing camps can be relocated. 
Internationals involved in the IDP relief effort have commented 
on the impressive handling of the situation by both the Ministry 
of Labor and Solidarity and Ministry of Health as well as by the 
custodians of the camp sites, who are mostly priests and nuns. 
 
15. (U) An airlift of emergency supplies from USAID's Office of 
Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) arrived today and will soon 
be distributed in IDP camps by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) 
and CARE, who are also providing additional U.S.-funded goods 
and servcies.  Embassy Dili and the AID mission in East Timor 
have also requested a $1 million replenishment of Food For Peace 
(FFP) stocks to replenish local World Food Program supplies. 
Additional support is under consideration, both for emergency 
relief and for medium-to-long-term needs. 
 
American citizens and Embassy security 
-------------------------------------- 
 
16. (SBU) The Embassy is in contact with the 56 private American 
citizens remaining in East Timor.  The Embassy continues to 
operate with 12 American employees, 29 Marines, and six Mobile 
Security Division (MSD) members.  The USAID compound is open for 
business during regular working hours.  Absenteeism in the local 
guard force is not higher than five percent per shift.  Several 
other local staff at the Embassy and USAID are not reporting for 
duty due to conditions in the city.
