After a month of random statements regarding the security situation in Ermera, especially regarding the alleged widespread existence of firearms (especially automatic rifles) and a supposed shoot out in the district on 16 May last, PNTL Operations Commander Mateus Fernandes has rejected this talk as nothing more than rumors.
His remarks serve as a severe rebuke of his Superior Commander General Longuinhos Monteiro. Referring to this talk of weapons and shootouts he said in Friday’s Jornal Diario Nacional: “So I do not want to talk about rumors because I do not want to introduce those rumors again,” adding that, “regarding information that there are weapons in Ermera that I can say is untrue.”
He also called it “a lot of rumors and defamatory statements” that put beyond doubt his rejecting of any opposing assertions from his superior.
Mateus Fernandes is to be congratulated for his public stand that has restored some confidence by the people of Ermera that they face no immediate armed threats from organized groups, including former Indonesian military as has been previously stated by the PNTL Chief Monteiro.
