The 2006 Crisis

This site was inspired by the events that culminated in the tragic disintegration of the rule of law in 2006. UNPol was remobilised in response to the political violence and social tensions and this is an archive of the regular security reports.

UNPol in East Timor Security Briefing 11 July 2007



This is a broadcast of the UN Police in Timor-Leste to provide you with information about the security situation around the country.

The security situation across the country has been calm.

Today in Dili, UNPol conducted a total of 41 patrols and were required to attend five incidents. None were serious. They included three traffic accidents and two false alarms. Yesterday in Ermera, in Keididing sub-village, a fire gutted the kitchen of a 44-year-old woman. She was in her bedroom suffering from malaria at the time and is unable to explain the reasons for the fire. Police are investigating, but there is no evidence as yet to suggest that the fire was started deliberately.

Two days ago in Viqueque, two empty houses were burned to the ground in Watolari. There were no injuries, but it is thought that the cause of both fires was arson. Further investigation is underway.

The UNPol Election Security Plan is currently in Phase Four, the post-polling phase. UNPol, PNTL and Formed Police Units remain deployed and are on stand-by for any post-polling clashes or victory processions. The International Stabilisation Forces are also on stand-by, ready to be deployed on request.

The Police advise to avoid traveling during the night to the most affected areas. Report any suspicious activities and avoid traveling the areas affected by disturbances. Call 112 or 7230365 to contact the police 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

This has been a daily broadcast of the UN Police in Timor-Leste, for the people of Timor-Leste.
