Article Abstract:

East Timor is said to have to pass through three tides of blood before it finds some form of stability, and the third tide appears to have begun in 2006 in the form of sectarian violence that threatens to erupt into a new civil war. An account of the history of East Timor reveals that the fundamental reason for the country's problems is a lack of identity and trust among its citizens.
