Cemitério de Sta.Cruz - East Timor

After a very long time under Indonesian rule, the ex-Portuguese colony of East Timor finally got their freedom and became the world's youngest nation. These are the final days, before the referendum that led to independence.
Things got a little caotic at the time but it worked out in the end, despite thousands killed during the war over the years.
