Overview

East Timor

Independent since 2002, East Timor is actually the Demoratic Republic of East Timor, located in Southeast Asia. This former Portuguese colony annexed by Indonesia in 1975, is made up of the Atauro and Jaco islands; half of eastern Timor island; and Oecussi-Ambeno, an enclaved area in the western part of Timor island. Security in Dili is uncertain and conflict between armed groups is rife, so tourists travelling to Dili and its surrounding areas should be extremely cautious.

pros

  •  Rich traditions.

cons

  •  Difficult political situation.
  •  It is currently inadvisable to travel to East Timor.

Our Editorial team's advice

For further information on this destination, which is almost inaccessible at the moment, read the first Timorese book translated from Portuguese into English: it traces the path of a child faced with the political reality of his country, from the colonial era to the Indonesian invasion. The author played a role in the student resistance during the war against Indonesia and he is currently in exile in Lisbon.
