Tempo Semanal - Dili, 31.01.2011
TRANSLATION FROM TETUM:
The President of the Republic, Dr. Jose Ramos-Horta has asked the Timor-Leste Government “not to suspend, or abandon, further talks”, with the oil company Woodside.
“We have to maintain dialogue with everyone,” President Horta said in response to the position taken by the government to close the doors to Woodside.
“Now we are not going to dialogue with an investor who has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in oil exploration? We depend totally on Bayu Undan. What if something happens with Bayu Undan? Like an earthquake or some other disaster, where will our revenues come from then?” questioned Horta.
“So we should look to an agreement as soon as we can. Not sell ourselves to them. We should hold constructive negotiations to find a solution that is also good for them, because after all they are not a charity, they are not Mother Teresa. They want a profit. All oil companies around the world are like that.”
“If we negotiate cleverly as the first constitutional government did with Conoco Phillips and the Australian Government with Bayu Undan and the Timor Sea Treaty, and now we should look towards how to implement the Greater Sunrise agreement.”
The President of the Republic suggested the AMP Government should seek the help of former Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri to help in the negotiations with Australia.
“Call Dr. Alkatiri and seek his opinion too, give me the correct information. So that we can all put our heads together to find a strong strategy that is the best for Timor-Leste.” (TS)

Husi Povu Sun Rise,
Ami povu ailebo diskunfia fali Horta ninia statement tuir mai ne'e " SE RAI NAKDOKO MAK AKONTESE BUAT RUMA BA PROJECTU BANYU UDAN NE'E NUSA?".Parese iha jogada trianglu entre Horta cs, Woodside no guvernu Australia.
Timor ema Timor oan hotu nian incluidu rikusion nebe iha,laos Ramos Horta nia kusta ou sira lori husi Portugal mai. Nia halo drama ita hare ba borus hela. Husu ba guvernu para mantein posicao nafatin.
Timor nudar nasaun soberano ida no nain ba mina rai labele hakruk fali ba kompanhea naokten bot nebe hamutuk ho governu Australia hakarak mai susu mohu deit povu no rai Timor nia rikusoi. Maske ita infrenta problemas kiak, moras, mukit, susar, terus, osan laiha etc-etc maibe naokten sira ne'e hakarak presaun nafatin ita hodi halo tuir sira nia hakarak.
Guvernu tenki marka posicao hodi dehan " NO" ba Woodside incluidu ba Ramos Horta tamba nia hein hela " Money for Blue Pocket" husi negociasaun ne'e. Prediksaun ida ne'e bele los tamba Parlamentu Nacional koa ona osan nebe guvernu AMP atu aloka ba ninia gabinete.
Presidenti da Republika laiha direitu atu involve aan iha asuntu ne'e tamba laos ninia kompetensia tuir konstituisaun. Pelo kontrario, guvernu mak iha reponsabilidade tomak kona problema tasi Timor. Dala ruma ita presiza husu tamba sa mak partidu balun no ema barak kontra Woodside, maibe iha parte seluk Horta hakarak ubriga guvernu para continua ou simu kompanhea nee ninia hakarak?
Buat importate liu mak continua ho projectu Banyu Udan e halo negociasaun foun ho kompanhea foun nebe diak liu e hakarak rona ita nia ideas. Lalika ba lakon tempu ho Woodside Australianu sira tamba sira kulia plin-plan no subar hela guvernu Australia ninia intereses iha sira nia lifuan ka komentarios durante ne'e.
Presiza mos ita tetu amiasa husi Horta nian nebe dehan sekarik rai nakadoko bele istraga tiha projectu Banyu Udan. Deklarasaun ida nune" Bombastis" so ema hanoin laiha maka koalia e ita nota momos katak nia koko halo tauk guvernu ho povu Timor para tenki simu deit saida mak Woodside hakarak.
Presidente diak laos hanesan ne'e, maibe tenki lia ida deit ho guvernu para labele iha diferencia ideas relasiona ho assunte importante ne'e.
Husu ba blog " TIMOR HAU NIA DOBEN" se bele karik publika hela ideas sira ne'e atu PR Ramos Horta mos bele lee.
Obrigadu Barak.
These are the smartest words JRH has spoken in about two years!
Put in mind that Horta doesn't deman Alkatiri's help but he demands money to save into his pocket from the Greater Sun Rise. This is all about.
Hare rona saida mak Horta hatete nee, tamba imi sira dehan negosiator iha AMP nee maufehuk deit. Kakutak hanesan nu lombu hotu. Iha fatin Australia ho Woodside dulas ba mai hanesan bibi malae. Imi nia Agio nee tan lalika, hosun husi ibun maka barak, inus fehuk hanesan Akbar Tanjung nian, ibun kuak loron kalan maka tarutu hanesan los hanesan Harmoko (hari-hari omong kosong)...hahahahha
Atu halo nusa mos AMP iha principiu katak mina Sun Rise tenki dada mai Timor, laos hanesan o ho arabe imigrante ne'e ba fan los Banyu Udan ba Australia hodi dada ba darwin nepara sira transfere osa lun tokon ba tokon tama ba mari nia konta bankaria ikus mai dekobre nia involve KKN iha negiciasaun projectu Banyu Undan. Kasu to agora sei regista hela iha COURT United State. Hein para KAK atu halo lolos investigasaun ba imi sira halo korupsaun bot iha guvernu anterior. Balu kal atu ba toba ona iha Otel Becora......lol
