DILI - East Timor's president, Jose Ramos-Horta, arrived home on Thursday to a cheering crowd of thousands after more than two months of treatment in Australia for injuries sustained in an assassination attempt in February.
A military parade welcomed Ramos-Horta as he stepped out of the plane at Dili's airport where people waved national flags and carried photographs of the president as they shouted "Viva president Ramos-Horta."
The 58-year-old Nobel laureate, who was shot and critically wounded in an attack by rebel soldiers at his home in Dili on February 11, thanked parliament, government officials, the church, the people of East Timor and the international community for their support.
"I'm happy to be back in Timor-Leste," Ramos-Horta told a news conference at the airport, where he was received by Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao, opposition leader Mari Alkatiri and other government ministers and diplomats.
He drove to his beachside house to the beating of drums played by students and a traditional welcome dance while soldiers stood guard.
"I'm happy that he is back. He will bring unity to the country," said Joao Freitas, a local resident who sat near Ramos-Horta's thatched-roof house, watching people dance.
Ramos-Horta nearly lost his life when he was shot twice after gunmen loyal to rebel leader Alfredo Reinado launched early-morning attacks on the president and Gusmao in Dili in February. Gusmao escaped unharmed in the attack.
The president also asked the leader of army rebels Gastao Salsinha, who took command of rebel soldiers after Reinado, to surrender.
"I ask Gastao Salsinha not to keep staying in the jungle but to surrender soon to the church or the state authorities and face justice," Ramos-Horta said.
"I don't want anybody to die," he said, holding back his tears. "Gastao should surrender to justice and hand over his weapons."
TIGHT SECURITY
East Timor has tightened security for the veteran freedom-fighter who has always shunned heavy security and had said he will remain in his isolated Dili residence, despite advice from security officials to move to a more secure location.
Ramos-Horta, co-winner of the 1996 Nobel peace prize, has often said he wished for a quieter life to write his memoirs of East Timor's long struggle for independence from Indonesian rule.
He told CNN recently he would miss the days when he could mingle with his people without being bothered about security.
"I am saddened by the fact that these pleasures may be gone for me now," he said. "We have lost something. But we will find a way to remain close."
As Asia's youngest nation, East Timor has been unable to achieve stability since its hard-won independence, despite its oil and gas resources.
The East Timor army tore apart along regional lines in 2006, when about 600 soldiers were sacked, triggering factional violence that killed 37 people.
More than 2,500 foreign troops and police remain in the country to help local security forces maintain stability.

Ramos-Horta recalls assassination attempt
East Timor's President Jose Ramos-Horta fought back tears today as he thanked staff at Royal Darwin Hospital for saving his life after last month's assassination attempt in Dili.
Mr Ramos-Horta presented staff at the hospital with gifts, including East Timorese coffee and a signed photograph of himself and Pope Benedict.
He also spoke for the first time about what it was like to be shot and enduring a painful bumpy ride to hospital.
He said he remembered lying in pain, in a pool of blood.
Mr Ramos-Horta has now left hospital to continue his recovery at a Darwin home.
He says his medical treatment has been top class from the moment he arrived.
"I'm very, very happy, particularly very grateful to the Darwin hospital, to the nurses, to the doctors, to the cleaners," he said.
"I was very, very well looked after here from the moment I arrived. I thank also the Australian Defence Force medical centre in Dili."
The President is expected to return to East Timor in a few weeks.

KONIS SANTANA
O Comandante das FALINTIL, Nino Konis Santana, nome gentílico, nasceu em 1957 em Veru, sub-distrito de Tutuala, distrito de Lautém, próximo de Lospalos. Morreu a 11 de Março de 1998, no seu abrigo da Luta contra a ocupação indonésia, em Mirtuto, Ermera. Filho de Poko Tana e de Jee Makaru, foi baptizado, na Capela de Tutuala, a três de Março de 1964, sob o nome de Antoninho Santana.

As primeiras letras aprendeu-as num posto escolar de Tutuala, tendo transitado para o colégio dos padres salesianos de Fuiloro, onde completou a 4ª classe. Posteriormente foi para uma escola particular em Dili, fundada por Xavier do Amaral - nomeado presidente da República Democrática de Timor-Leste aquando da proclamação unilateral da independência em 1975 - tendo completado o curso de professor primário no ano de 1974-1975, na Escola Canto Resende.Aderiu à FRETILIN em finais de 1975, tendo sido dirigente da UNETIM (União Nacional dos Estudantes de Timor-Leste) e membro da OPJT (Organização Popular da Juventude Timorense).Aquando da invasão de Dili pelas forças indonésias, a sete de Dezembro de 1975, Konis exercia já profissão de professor primário, na sua terra natal, de par com uma intensa actividade de formação política das populações.
.
A chegada das forças indonésias à Ponta Leste obriga a resistência a refugiar-se em Matebian, de onde se retira em Novembro de 1978, com a queda da última Base, data em que Konis já exercia as funções de Delegado do Comissariado Político.Entre avanços e recuos estratégicos no território, Konis Santana chega às áreas de Ermera em 1991, a fim de proceder à reorganização daquela zona, a partir de onde comanda a Luta.Aquando da sua morte, em 11 de Março de 1998, exercia as funções de Chefe do Conselho Executivo da Luta/Frente Armada-CEL/FA, cargo para o qual foi nomeado aquando do desaparecimento de Keri Sabalae, em 29 de Junho de 1995.

Ramos Horta and Reinado had amnesty deal
The AgeLindsay MurdochFebruary 16, 2008
Jose Ramos Horta and Alfredo Reinado, a month before the attack on the President.
Photo: Glenn CampbellTHIS is the moment (right) when Jose Ramos Horta thought he had secured a peaceful future for East Timor. Standing on the steps of the ruins of an old Portuguese fort in East Timor's rugged mountains, the country's President smiles and shakes hands with rebel leader Alfredo Reinado on a secret deal that would see Reinado pardoned for murder and armed rebellion in an amnesty on May 20, the anniversary of East Timor gaining independence. The two men then sat down for a feast of goat, lamb and chicken, served with fine wines. They departed in high spirits."I'm off to a cockfight," Reinado said with a grin as he drove away.
Four weeks later Reinado, a cult hero figure to many young Timorese, is dead and Mr Ramos Horta is fighting for his life in Royal Darwin Hospital, suffering from gunshot wounds. Exclusive photographs of the men's meeting, obtained by The Age, show that Mr Ramos Horta went unarmed and unescorted to the fort.
Reinado, then East Timor's most wanted man, had secured it, his heavily armed men standing guard at strategic locations along the fort's crumbling walls.The deal they struck included Reinado being put under house arrest, guarded by New Zealand troops as he faced court before the pardon that would also include his men.
But in the weeks after the meeting Reinado, who had been on the run for 17 months after leading a mass jail escape, became deeply paranoid and delusional and feared he was losing his authority.

The Royal Darwin Hospital where East Timor's President Jose Ramos-Horta remains …AP via Yahoo! News - Feb 11 11:52 PM

February 15, 2008 06:44pm
EAST Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta was today operated on in Darwin for the fourth time since being shot twice by rebels in Dili on Monday.
The surgery came on the same day Prime Minister Kevin Rudd made a lightning visit to Dili to reaffirm Australia's commitment to democracy in East Timor, then visited the wounded president in Darwin.
Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) general manager Len Notaras said the president remained in a serious but stable condition after undergoing a fourth surgery today.
"He is still heavily sedated to allow him to rest and recover," he said.
It is not known how long Dr Ramos-Horta will remain in an induced come but doctors have said it will probably be at least a few more days.
The president was shot twice when rebels attacked him outside his home in Dili on Monday.
He was airlifted to Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) on Monday where he underwent surgery.
Earlier this week, his surgeon, Professor Phil Carson said the president would be left with significant scars but no functional problems and that several more operations were planned.
Mr Rudd said after his visit that he was confident his old friend would pull through.
"He is a fighter, I know the old Jose .... he has got a bit of a fight ahead of him still," Mr Rudd said.

THE day before rebel leader Alfredo Reinado was killed in a gun battle at the home of East Timor's President, he phoned his wife in Perth and made her promise she would always look after herself and their four children.
Maria Reinado yesterday told of her grief at the loss of her husband, a former Perth shipyard worker who once swore she would never become a young widow. "It is hard for me to help (our children) to understand that he is gone," she said.

"They tell me that dad is still alive and not to believe the TV. I encourage the kids to cry out loud, and remind them of the daily horrible nightmare - to hide reality would be foolish."

Ms Reinado, 30, was not at her husband's funeral in East Timor yesterday. Friends believe it is too dangerous for her to return even briefly to the country where her husband has been a central figure in violence and political unrest.

But Ms Reinado's pleas for permanent protection in Australia have been rejected and she and her children will be forced back to East Timor unless Immigration Minister Chris Evans intervenes.

Neither Ms Reinado nor her advocates would discuss her case, but former Jesuit Refugee Service director Frank Brennan said Senator Evans would be unwise to force the widow or her children to live in East Timor.

"We should not force anyone to return there at this time, especially if they are related to persons identified with the causes of the emergency and instability," he said.

The Reinado family was living in Dili in May 2006, and Ms Reinado was pregnant with the couple's fourth child, Felicity, when Reinado abandoned his military barracks and joined hundreds of armed rebels in the hills.

He never met his youngest child; as mob violence escalated in the capital, Ms Reinado fled to their former home town of Perth with their children, Billy, Donovan and Tiffany.

"The children spoke to Alfredo almost every night, they had a close relationship," Ms Reinado said in the statement released through the West Australian Uniting Church's justice and mission consultant, Rosemary Hudson Miller.

"Alfredo encouraged me to be strong for the kids. Sometimes I would cry alone at night so the children wouldn't see me be weak."

Ms Reinado was introduced to her future husband by her brother "Afri" on her 15th birthday in 1992 and their romance began a month later. Their son Billy was a baby when they married on May 24, 1995 and their "honeymoon" was aboard a friend's fishing vessel Reinado captained to Darwin with 15 other asylum-seekers.

They lived in Melbourne, Perth and Darwin over the next four years, and their son Donovan was born in Australia.

"In our last conversation, he asked me to promise him that I would look after myself and our children," Ms Reinado said.

"He promised me once that I would never become a young widow and now he is gone. I will not break my promise to him."

Rebel Alfredo Reinado's widow Maria speaks of her grief
Paige Taylor, The Australian

THE Perth-based widow of East Timor rebel Alfredo Reinado has released a statement after her husband was shot dead in the rebel assassination attempt on Jose Ramos-Horta.
Mrs Reinado made her statement through the Uniting Church of Western Australia's justice and mission consultant Rosemary Hudson Miller.
The Statement
Maria met alfredo through her brother " Afri" in East Timor in 1992 on her 15th Birthday. It was just a month later Alfredo finally worked up the courage to Ask Maria out through her brother. They dated for three years. Six month After Billy was born they were married on the 24 May when they set of to Australia.Maria laughs as she recalls Alfredo says "Honey this is the longest honeymoon anyone will ever have.Funny enough it turned out into a four years honeymoon. During these time Donovan was born their second son. Alfredo returned to East Timor on 1999. The children spoke to Alfredo almost every night they had a close relationship. Although he never had a chance to meet their younger daughter Felicity or spend much time with their other child Tiffany they still had a very close bond. He had a nick name for each of them. He called Felicity is " Little Kookaburra" after first sound she made, Tiffany was his " Little chatter box" Donovan the "Grumpy Face" and Billy "Lazy Boy". It wasn't easy being with out Alfredo, especially with four children. Sometimes I felt though enough is enough. It is because of the children I found the strength to get through the days. Alfredo encouraged me to be strong for the kids. Sometimes I would cry alone at night so the children wouldn't see me be weak. He always assured me and comfort me during these hard time, even though it was just over the phone I felt like he was beside me. Now who will I turn to for a winge I have lost my very best friend and companion in my life. It has affected us all so much. It was through a friends and the media that I found out my husband was gone. "The kids have not seen him for almost two years it is hard for me to help them to understand that he is gone. They still tell me that dad is still alive and not to believe the TV. I encourage the kids to cry out loud, and remind them of the daily horrible nightmare to hide reality would be foolish. Maria is surprise by the support of her Australian friends and family. It is not surprising Alfredo loved Australian people so much. Alfredo indeed a big Eagles fan. All I want now is for the media to leave me and my family alone so that I can start the journey of repairing the broken heart of my children. I am not in hiding I just want people to respect my privacy. In our last conversation he asked me to promise him that I would look after myself and our children. He also wanted me to remember he will always love me till he died and hold a special place in his heart. He promised to me once that I would never become a young widow and now he is gone. I will not break my promise to him.
