East Timor independence fighter Xanana Gusmao returns to power to lead anew as prime minister of Southeast Asia’s youngest democracy
East Timor's new Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao takes an oath during his inauguration at the presidential palace in Dili on Saturday, July 1.
He pledged to provide opportunities for local governments to design their own development programs, including those to improve health services for mothers and children. The son of teachers of Portuguese-Timorese descent, Gusmao grew up in what was then a Portuguese colony. He joined the Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor in 1975, fighting for independence first from Portugal and then Indonesia.
In 2002, Gusmao became the country's first post-independence president and worked to unify the country.
