Description

It´s MY country now! La liberté a coûté cher au Timor Oriental. 24 ans d´occupation ilegalle ( l´ONU n´a jamais reconu) par l´armée indonesienne et 300.000 morts dans un pays qu´à la fin ne dépassait pas un million d´habitants. Selon le Congrès Juif des Etats Unis, il s´agit, prortionnellement á la population, du plus grand génocide depuis l´holocaust nazi. Mais depuis la libération du pays par les tropes internationalles en septembre 1999, une nouvelle géneration grandi dans le pays le plus pauvre de toute l´Asie. Fière de la liberté durement conquise... Freedom was expensive to East Timor 24 years of illegal occupation (UN never recognized) by Indonesian army and 300.000 people died in a country who has a population of one million persons. According to the Jewish Congress of the United States, it´s proportionely to population, the worst and larger genocide since Nazi Holocaust. But since the release of the country by the international tropes in September 1999, a new generation grown in the poorest country of Asia. Proud of so hard conquered freedom…

quand une popolation n'a pas beaucoup de resources, tous ce qui vient est ignoree par l'opinion mondiale. et Timor a ete ignoree parce que trop peu a gagner sur ses propres problemes. pas comme en Iraq ou il Y a le petrole a gagner. je ne connaissais pas ca, mais oui maintenant. la photo est tres belle et je te souhaite beaucoup de felicite' pour l'avenir

Techniquement une belle photo, super compo et couleurs. Mais bien sûr le plus important c'est le sujet et le sourire de ces enfants qui la rendent exceptionnelle. Après avoir regardé toutes les photos de cette série incroyable cela fait du bien. Merci et un grand bravo Mousson!!!!

I have enjoyed your views of East Timor's people. Thanks for the history lesson and reminder of what should not be done. Hopefully these happy youngsters will have a future as bright and colorful as their national flag.
