In the 1970s Indonesia had invaded and annexed the island of East Timor, and while the occupation had consistently been brutal, the Santa Cruz Massacre of 1991 had become a real turning point in the East Timor independence movement, motivating Timorese insurgents and drawing international attention. This lead to Indonesia becoming more isolated internationally as well as loosing critical support.

FRETILIN was created with the intention to help the people of East Timor with basic necessities like how SETTLEMENT HOUSES help the people. At the beginning of this period , FRETILIN radio sent many radio broadcasts. The Invaders were killing people without their surroundings knowing about what was taking place. Women and children were being shot in the streets; they killed anyone who they would find in their way.

During  the initial first years of the Indonesian invasion more than 100,000  Timorese died as the direct primary result of this conflict. Most of the these were civilians killed or defeated by the military or starved to death in internment camps or while hiding in the hills from the Indonesian military. Small groups of East Timorese continued their resistance for decades. The people were torture and starved to death. This was almost exactly to what was happening during the HOLOCAUST.

The victims were all of the people of East Timor. The victims were the civilians, all woman men and children of East timor. They killed most Timorese they encountered which was a GENOCIDE. They killed anyone who encouraged the culture also.

Yes, I believe this matches the UN definition of GENOCIDE, because The East Timor people were kidnapped which is one act that means it was a GENOCIDE. Also the people were displaced out of their homes which is a deprivation of their home and their living conditions. There was mass murders and there was also people dying from starvation. People were forbidden to embrace and encourage the culture. People were killed for this. They violated human rights, raped them, executed and torture the people. Which I believe this was a GENOCIDE.

Not exactly, but it came close. The only criteria it was missing was the one of stopping repopulation. The East Timorese people were put in invironments to kill them, they were killed systematically, they were starved and cut off from supplies. It matches almost every other criteria except that one.

The FRETLIN was formed to help the east Timorese with affording things like food, water, medical attention and school.  Kind of like SETTLEMENT HOUSES.

On August 11, 1975, the UDT staged a coup. For three weeks, civil war raged throughout East Timor, as forces of the UDT battled with a quickly formed armed wing of FRETILIN, called FALINTIL.
Nine days later, on December 7, 1975, Indonesian military forces responded by invading the newly proclaimed republic. In the first few days of the invasion, 2,000 citizens of the capital, Dili, were killed, and a systematic campaign of human rights abuses followed. This is when the art started to be created

It ended after the UN noticed what was happening. The word of a new GENOCIDE happening peaked their interests and once they saw what was happening to the small group of people. They used their power to take the East Timorese people under UN rule in 2002.

While this was happening obviously the East Timorese people were trying to fight for their rights with their own government. But since their government was close to a FASCISM STATE they didn't have much power. One day Indonesia decided to put a stop to the riots and take over the main parts of where the East Timorese people lived. They started killing and this is what lead to the worst part of the GENOCIDE. Australia was a bystander and APPEASED them. Even if they didn't agree with what was happening.

After the GENOCIDE's end the street art that people made describing gruesome events they had seen or how they felt about it was still there and still is to date. These art pieces seem like cave paintings but that's because some people would even use blood to show how easily they could find it now.

East Timorese were the poorest of the Timor empire. Much like when the Jews were being taken to the HOLOCAUST people would sell out East Timorese People for money. The people were kept from showing their culture and were shot if seen doing it.
