<br/><br/> Examines the interplay between security sector developments and national unity in East Timor since the Indonesian occupation ended in 1999.  It argues that the independence and the guerrilla force Falintil had been an important focus of East Timorese national unity in 1999.  This article also find that new initiatives aimed at reforming East Timor's military and police forces appeared to be lacking in both depth and relevance for addressing the country's new level of internal division, and its immediate, internal security challenges.
