I'm looking for anyone who worked in East Timor, either Op Toucan or the UN mission that followed. I'm compiling stories and photos of what happened there with the aim of writing a book.
I have some images we took from the air of Zumali after it was raised to the ground. I also have a collection of stories from the Dili and Suai Refugee camps.
I'm particularly interested in any one who can provide closure on the story of "Baby Ivan". We discovered him and his mother near death in Dili. All we know is that Princess Jasmin arranged to get him to Australia for surgery but not the outcome. There's a very interesting story around that incident that showcases UNHCR's incompetence.
Once I collect enough historical information I plan on returning to Dili and hopefully follow-up on some of the stories to publish with closure. I'm also hoping to take new photos to show the progress made since 1999/2000.
Those of you that were with us likely remember the Aussie SAS team we supported. I have some interesting stories from one of them that are going into the manifest.
If you can help my research I'll be grateful. Stories and photos would be great. Either post here or PM me.
