Part of the opening ceremonies for East Timor's celebration of independence, as the country becomes a democracy. Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, addresses the Timorese people.
If you are not familiar with the country's history, and you can make an hour in your schedule for it, we recommend watching Death of a Nation by David Munro -- available on YouTube -- to get a sense of what the Timorese people had gone through to reach this day.
If you embed this video please credit with a link to www.thecommunity.com as we have ongoing programs going for East Timor. Thanks.
