Reinado and his crew are all former military trained by the Aussies. They actually get along with the guys, however ET has asked Aust. to arrest them.

Reinado wants to change the Gov't because, well they are corrupt.

There is mounting unrest in Dilli and other portions of the land. You basically have the Eastern portion of the area that is the political party [Fretilin] who has the power. They are ALL of Portugese descent and speak and write Portuguese, which is the langage of the laws.

And you have pretty much the Western areas which speak Tetun, the native language.

There is high unemployment and the sense of distrust toward the political elite(Fretilin) and the like. And throw in the Chinese, who are buying up the area and resources and you have a nice problem waiting to happen.
