Muted celebrations mark East Timor’s first anniversary
About 10,000 Timorese gathered in front of the Government Palace in the capital Dili in a ceremony lacking the euphoria of last year, when world leaders feted the birth of the world's newest nation and crowds partied into the night.
Ballads and revolutionary folk songs wafted across the waterfront as Timorese watched their newly formed army and military march past.
