Easing policy, Habibie offers special status for East Timor

Article Abstract:

Indonesian President BJ Habibie proposed to offer special autonomy status to East Timor, the country's most critical territorial dispute, in a significant deviation from the unyielding position of former President Suharto. Several East Timorese activists already immediately turn down the proposal as one activist said that what they want is a referendum to vote for independence.
