(9 Apr 1999) Natural Sound Thousands of anti-independence militiamen, some accused of massacring at least 25 villagers this week, vowed on Thursday to step up their fight against separatists who want East Timor to break away from Indonesia. About 2 thousand fighters brandishing swords, iron bars and other homemade weapons rallied at Maliana, a remote town about 140 kilometers (86 miles) west of the territory's capital, Dili. They described a call to arms this week by pro -independence East Timorese leader Xanana Gusmao as a declaration of war and said they would fight on even if Jakarta's armed forces quit the territory. On Thursday, about 2- thousand militiamen, some accused of taking part in Tuesday's massacre, rallied at Maliana, a remote town about 140 kilometers (86 miles) west of the territory's capital, Dili. Many of them chanted `Long live Indonesia.' and waved red and white Indonesian flags. Brandishing swords, iron bars and other homemade weapons, they vowed to step up their fight against separatists. Organisers of the rally said 13 armed groups took part. The town, 65 km (40 miles) southwest of Dili, is the headquarters of all pro-Jakarta militias in the disputed territory, and is near the border with West Timor. In his speech, a commander of the pro-integration militia, Joao da Silva Tavares, reminded his followers to be on the alert. "We have to be ready whenever the attack comes," militia commander Joao da Silva Tavares told the gathering. He told the assembled militiamen to prepare themselves and to exercise with their weapons. Da Silva Tavares stressed they must convince all East Timorese people that to remain with Indonesia is the best choice. It follows pro -independence East Timorese leader Xanana Gusmao call on Monday, for a popular insurrection against loyalist militias. But on Wednesday he denied his call was a declaration of war and said pro-independence forces would help ordinary East Timorese defend themselves. Gusmao, captured in 1992, spoke from house arrest in Jakarta. There were no reports of trouble Thursday in the wake of bloodshed this week in the former Portuguese colony, which has been wracked by guerrilla warfare and human rights abuses since Indonesia invaded in 1975. On Tuesday, anti-independence fighters, allegedly backed by Indonesian troops and police, shot and hacked terrified villagers to death in clouds of tear gas outside a church in Liquica, 28 kilometers (18 miles) west of Dili. Tuesday's violence cast a shadow over plans by the United Nations to hold a July ballot for East Timor's people on whether to remain within Indonesia as an autonomous state or become independent. Indonesia invaded East Timor in 1975 and annexed it in 1976 in a move not recognised by the United Nations. Some 200- thousand of its 800-thousand people have died of war, disease and starvation under Indonesian rule. In January, Jakarta suddenly reversed its policy of 23 years, saying it would consider granting independence if a broad offer of autonomy was rejected. Since then, there has been increasing violence as pro-Jakarta East Timorese fear for their future.
