When East Timor wanted to separate from Indonesia, the Indonesian Military decided to use military AGGRESSION and invaded East Timor. This lead to the East Timor GENOCIDE. While the Genocide was happening East Timor was looking for help from other countries but received zero to no help, instead there was a point where Australia wanted an APPEASEMENT  deal with Indonesia. Towards the end many REFUGEES left East Timor and went to many other countries. General Wiranto was charged with war crimes at the end of the genocide.

Yes, I do believe this genocide does match the UN's definition of an genocide . The East Timor Genocide will forever be remembered how East Timor got their independence.

In 1974, Revolutionary Front for East Timor’s Independence (FRENTLIN) and Timorese Democratic Union (UDT) both wanted independence in a less violent way that made more progress but was in control by Portugal. Later, Portugal had an emergency and had to go back to their homeland leaving East Timor alone.

In August 11, 1975, the UDT arranged a sudden violent attack that lasted 3 weeks in East Timor and 1,500 to 3,000 casualties.

In this time the government's policy of "Indonisianizing" East Timor by having to disrupt the regular Timorese life and change it to its Javanese life, breaking up of the traditional agriculture, trade, village life, and extended family. Also, East Timorese culture was prohibit to show. If not obey the people were: killed on the spot, arrested and tortured, or “disappeared”. Indonisia is very NATIONALISTIC because of the way that they made the East Timorese people totally change their lifestyle.

Towards the end, Australia decided to ask for help to the UN (United Nations). In 1999, was when East Timor had their first election where pro-Indonesian militia tried to stop the election but was unsuccessful. The pro-Indonesian militia went crazy and killed 1,500 people and 300,000 people were forced to go to refugees. During this time, women and girls were raped, and the capital city of East Timor, Dili, was burned to the ground.

After, on September 27, 2002 was when East Timor was giving a membership of the UN. In 2006, 150,000 people were kicked out of their homes by the UN troops.

Gen Wiranto was accused for the
WAR CRIMES but simply ignore the UN request to court at Dili. Overall, no country was punished afterwards. East Timor is now independent and growing.  The country was giving an admission to enter the UN and ASEAN which is like the LEAGUE OF NATIONS but now is  referred to the United Nations.

I think that this does manage the UN’s definition of a genocide, because it met every point. The country might acknowledge the events today as their history to their independence.

After the Genocide the people of East Timor still did not have it easy as they were struggling with their own union and government.
