  I wonder what happened in East Timor between 1945 and 1949, when the 
imperialist tried to reimpose colonial rule on Indonesia, and the 
Indonesian people fought for their independence. West Timor must have 
been a part of that anticolonial struggle. 

  Did that find an echo among the East Timorese? What about the Bandung 
conference? (Which took place about the time when in Angola, the largest 
Portuguese colony, an independence movement became awake, the precursor 
of the MPLA).
