Crossing Continents

on BBC Radio 4 FM

East Timor. On 20 May 2002, East Timor becomes independent. The tiny territory that captured hearts and headlines round the world in 1999 will then have its own constitution, courts and currency. But, asks Julian Pettifer , after 25 years of hostile occupation by Indonesia - and its scorched earth departure - and two years of friendly occupation by the United Nations, how will this new nation cope on its own?
