East Timor, a former Portuguese colony, was under Indonesia rule for 25 years, ending it in 1999. It remained under United Nations protection until 2002.
Australia will keep 1,000 troops in East Timor until needed, probably sometime during 2008. Last year, elections resulted in violence in East Timor, and Australia sent 1,000 troops along with the United Nations' 1,500 police.
The current president of East Timor is President Jose Ramos-Horta.
