A Stuff special feature: The country no-one wants

The country no-one wants: http://stuff.co.nz/s/MeZ0
A special feature by Laura Walters and Abigail Dougherty

Adrift of Australia and at the feet of Asia, one of the world's newest nations is trying to make its way

Timor-Leste was given up by Portugal in 1975. It was promptly invaded by Indonesia, which carried out Operation Clean Sweep, a series of massacres, summary executions and "disappearances"

Up to 200,000 lives were lost in conflict over a quarter of a century.

Now Timor-Leste is trying to make its own way in the world. But neither the Pacific nor the Asian community of nations seems willing to welcome it.
