Sosok.ID – After hundreds of years of Portuguese colonial rule, Timor Leste had little time in the past to breathe freely.
The Declaration of Timor Leste as a Democratic Republic of Timor Leste that was declared by Fretlin only lasted temporarily.
This is because, shortly after the declaration of independence, it was Indonesia’s turn to invade Bumi Lorosae.
Indonesia’s invasion of Timor Leste became known as Operation Seroja, which began on December 7, 1975.
Also read: Aware that Australia is constantly in conflict, Timor Leste plans to cancel an agreement that could make Australia lose money, a country that originally had friends with whom it was not suspected of keeping secrets.
This sacred operation occurred in the era of President Soeharto.
In that incident, an estimated 100,000 to 180,000 soldiers and civilians died or died of starvation.
For months, the Indonesian army faced resistance from Timor Leste, which was later led by Fretlin, before finally this territory became part of the Indonesian state as a province of East Timor.
So what is the reason that President Soeharto launched an invasion that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives?
