"The clash between the Besi Merah Putih (Red and White Iron) militia and a non-governmental organization in Liquica (district) on Sunday has sealed the evidence (of UNAMET's partisanship). And UNAMET must admit it, should it care to be honest," Domingos said here Monday. According to him, the Liquica incident was a serious case. He said the UNAMET -- which is expected to help enhance a smooth proceeding for the solution of the Eat Timor issue -- had involved itself in matters outside its capasity. Domingos accused the UNAMET of being involved in humanitarian work, which is not include in the New York agreement signed by Indonesia, Portugal and the UN. "The UNAMET was not assigned to a humanitarian project, let alone support an NGO, which is not even accredited by the government," he said. Domingos was reffering to Care International, which distributed US rice in Maubara subdistrict in Liquica. In this operation, he said, the unaccredited NGO only gave rice to pro-independence supporters, thus raising an irksome feeling among the pro-integration camp. The UNAMET's giving a helping hand to Care International made the pro-integrationists more ill at ease, he noted. In the Liquica incident, Domingos pointed out, shots originating from an UMANET car proved that the UN body has allowed its car to be entered by some making the shots. Domingos said allowing some sporting a gun to go into an UNAMET car was proof enough that the UN body had relinquished its commitment of not taking sides. "That is partisanship with one of the conflicting camps, which will eventually hamper the direct ballot and complicate the issue," he observed. Deport Domingos said further that all parties concerned should strive to prevent such partisanship. "We have worked hard to make peace in East Timor. Now here comes UNAMET to meddle in the process and complicate things," he said. The pro-integrationist said he expects the UN secretary general to put the UNAMET officials involved in the partisan act into discipline, or even deport them for East Timor. "Those who were not in line or were not right should be taken out of East Timor," he said. Domingos also said he expects the police to take strict measures againts those involved in provocations. He even threatned to take a stronger action of protest. "The precence of the partisan officials will not only tarnish the good game name of the United Nations, but also provoke to worsen the situation," Domingos said.
