Message from Craras

Naha Susuk and Liki Nahak speaking on behalf of the family living in Naibonat, Kupang.

My name is Naha susuk, I want to let my sister Hare Susuk know,

don't be afraid,

don't listen to news that is unclear,

because our leaders have divided us,

and for that reason I look after our children on my own.

Liki Nahak had four children, but two of them have died,

Abili also has four children, Lou has six,

so you can come and live together with us

and look after the children,

don't be afraid to return,

there is no contract to keep you there,

but the reason we were divided was political,

so don't be afraid, everything here has returned to normal,

Amasiku used to hate us, but now he returned we don't seek revenge,

now the like in Bikarin along with Naha Rubik.

People who used to have weapons and wanted to murder us

have came home safely, we don't make trouble for them.

We are just ordinary people so why be scared to come home?

If you want to come home let us know so we can come with the head of the village and pick you up

don't be scared, we live in Craras near the memorial monument,

don't be scared, don't listen to the false news,

they war is over, and now we are free.

Before people that enjoyed murdering came back,

it wasn't a problem we recieved them came,

you are just ordinary citizens, why be scared to come home?

don't be scared to come home and look after the children together as a family,

If you want to come home send us news so myself and the village chief can meet you

and take you back to Craras

Dont be scared, I live in Craras closed to Monument place for the deceased

the Bibileo family, Uncle Jose, Abukasa are all Viqueque people,

we mustn't hate eachother but unite as one,

if possible everyone should come home together.

I just went to Oekusi but I'm not brave to enter Indonesia and look for you,

so I'm sorry I only sent a delegate from the family to go to Kefa.

If you want to come home, to Kili or to the border please let us know

so that me and the head of the village can meet with you,

we just need to know if you want to come home to Craras.

Thankyou very much, my sister please don't stress too much this is my message.

My name is Liki Nahak my wife is from Aileu,

we had four children but two of them died,

Mothers, and all of our sisters and brothers, don't be sad,

dont be scared, now Timor Leste is free

All of our aunties, if you want to come home, don't be scared,

everythings returned to normal,

the war divided us and our leaders tricked us and divided us,

and leave our own country

Mother, brothers and sisters, don't pay attention to leaders who don't take responsibility

I Liki Nahak, I took the tests to join the army but didn't pass,

so I came back to our home town now

if at the time I can past the test I think everything will be okay don't be scared
