The assassination attempts on President José Ramos-Horta and Prime
Minister Xanana Gusmão resulted in coverage on World News Today on
BBC4 tv last night (11 February 2008). One shot showed crowds waving
flags of the C.N.R.T., one of the political parties in East Timor.
The flags being waved — at least at this place and time — quite
a few of them and they were well made, incl. a poster of a flagoid with a
picture of Xanana Gusmão superimposed on the real flag: though note that
other frames of the video show that the initials are, as you might expect,
centred on the flag and not offset as they are on the flagoid by having to
make space for the photo.

This (very) recent party made use of the
C.N.R.T. sigla (with a slightly different meaning),
and basic flag pattern: horizontal tricolor of blue, white and green, with
letters on the white area. The 1998-2001 C.N.R.T., by the way, was not a
political party, but a coordination organ for anti-occupation activities,
conducted by different entities, some of which went on existing after
independence as political parties.

is a new party, which supports president Xanana Gusmão, who want to become
new prime minister this year. It will be officially registered in comming
weeks and has still 6.250 members. Main party in Timor-Leste FRETILIN
critizised the similar name and abbreviation to
Conselho Nacional de Resistência Timorense
CNRT, which was the union of most Timorese resistance groups and parties
against the Indonesian occupation. It was closed on 9th June 2001, so the
single parties could prepare for first parliament elections.
