The Head of the Timor-Leste Defence Force, Major General
Lere Anan Timur has said that he totally supports the Prime Minister Xanana
Gusmao’s declaration, also in his capacity as Defence and Security Minister to
ban the group CPD-RDTL activities.
“I think that the Prime Minister’s position is good, ban
them, as I have already told them you cannot create a state within this state,
you (CPD-RDTL) say that you don’t agree, you reject the constitution then you
are in the wrong,” Major General Lere Anan Timur declared to journalists last
Thursday 17 April after his weekly meeting with the President of the Republic
Taur Matan Ruak at the Presidential Palace in Bairro Pite, Dili.
This follows a recent threat by the Prime Minister Kay Ralaa
Xanana Gusmao to ban the CPD-RDTL in light of their members publicly wearing military
uniforms that they had bought from Indonesia.
Lere Anana Timur added that the CPD-RDTL are really mistaken
wearing these military uniforms, because there is only one legitimate military
force in this country.
“Going in public uniformed as they do, they are really
making a mistake, and I have said, we cannot create another state within this
state, because our state already has an armed force, so what do the CPD-RDTL
think they are doing? This means they
are trying to challenge the state,” Lere explained.
Major General Lere said that there would be no tolerance
with anyone trying to create instability, because this sacred country Timor was
paid for with the blood and remains. So everyone has a duty to contribute to
its development.
“I told them, do you think that the state has bought guns for
the F-FDTL to just wear as decoration?
They are for killing people who go against this nation, and that is why say,
we should play around with this situation.
We all fought, we all suffered, so it is better that now in time of peace
we should be doing whatever we can to take this country forward, that is what
is important,” declared Lere.
The two star General took this opportunity to appeal to the
CPD-RDTL masses to contribute to stability, because everyone sacrificed for
this country.
“I want the CPD-RDTL masses to know, I know many of you also
suffered for this country, for this independence, so now that we are
independent, we have to submit ourselves to what this state stands for, that is
what is more important, don’t invent things around the place, they are doing
too much with disagreeing with things.
Disagreeing was the time in the jungles perhaps, calling people
reactionary because they do not agree with our principles, because now that we
are independent we have to tolerate one another,” Lere affirmed.
