Francisco Calvalho has intimate links with Indonesian intelligence. For many years he was the General Secretary of the Pro-Indonesian Apodeti party. He shows us a report, written shortly after Habibie made his announcement that reveals a joint plan between ABRI and Apodeti. It states their plan to "raise a civilian army to intimidate and destroy all East Timorese who are opposed to integration with Indonesia... an army to be under the joint command of ABRI... an army to be raised from the existing network of 'village guards'."

Ali Alatas, the Indonesian Foreign Minister denies the allegations: "You may believe me or not believe me. By this time I'm quite immune now to the disbelief of the west. But I can tell you most emphatically that that news is wrong." On the ground though the casualties are mounting-up. We witness a pro-independence villager gunned down. His broken body surrounded by angry and grieving villagers.

In the border regions the militias are holding the first in what is to be a series of public rallies - the beginning of a political campaign in the areas they have already conquered militarily. They are well into their recruitment drive using bribes and threats to keep the people on side. "The promise is if you get everybody to support Indonesia, you will get 4 cows and a house." At the rally illiterate villagers cheer and clap on cue. They hold pro-integration banners, "What do they say?" we ask, "I don't know" come the replies.

Shifting in his chair, Indonesia's foreign minister's final words on the subject are telling. "There is a possibility [of independence]. They're not getting it yet. They still have to prove that they are the majority right." But it's hard to prove you are the majority when to speak is to die.
