TIMOR-VOTE

The video discusses Ramos Horta's campaign in the first presidential election since independence in 2002. The main issue is restoring peace after violence displaced 150,000 people. Horta, a Nobel Peace laureate, emphasizes his mediation skills but lacks policies for job creation. There is public disillusionment with former independence leaders, and regional tensions persist. Despite challenges, Horta's promise to mediate peace offers hope to voters.
