Andre Thorsen
Dear ETAN,
Andre Thorsen has been badly misquoted in your post at the bottom of this email. A UN correction to the STL story is shown below:
19 November 2010 Dili - The 19 November edition of the Suara Timor Lorosae features a front page report erroneously headlined "UNMIT proposes private security to use weapons". The article attributes the statement to Mr. Andre Thorsen, an UNMIT consultant on Security Sector reform. The STL headline is misleading. In fact, Mr. Thorsen said exactly the opposite during a round-table discussion held yesterday under UNMIT's auspices yesterday in Dili. During the discussion on Security Sector Reform, Mr. Thorsen was explicit in stating his view as follows: "Private security companies do not want their employees armed with fire arms, and I agree with them completely."

Dear ETAN reader,
For a decade we Timorese have had experience with UN in Timor-Leste. Many of us have respect for many UN staffs, however there are a significant group of UN staffs that demonstrate that they do not know their job and yet they get hired on big salaries to come and play games in Timor-Leste.
Some Timorese have had enough.
On 18 November 2011, few days ago a member of the Security Sector Support Unit in the UNMIT named Andre Thorsen gave a presentation on the regulation of private security companies in Timor-Leste. It was organised by UNDP/UNMIT and the Secretary of State for Security in ETDA Fatuhada. In his presentation Mr. Thorsen suggest that private security be armed if law permits it.
On his facebook page FRETILIN Member of Parliament and on Defence and Security Committee Jose Teixiera called for Mr. Thorsen to be removed immediately.
We have asked the question "Should UNMIT SRSG Ameerah Haq fire Andre Thorsten for suggesting that civilian security operators in Timor-Leste be armed and regulated?"

Ten years ago when UNTAET came to Timor-Leste we did not have internet and did not have a voice. Now we do. Please vote.
