Career

Abílio Araújo (1975)

Araújo's parents were from Ainaro , but Abílio was born in Aileu, where his father worked as a catechist . Abílio Araújo attended the Jesuit school in Dili and graduated from the Liceu Dr. Francisco Machado exits . This was followed by military service in the Portuguese army, during which he refused to go into the colonial war in Angola . 1969 Araújo became the administrator of the subdistrict Hato-Udo appointed. He also taught music at the Liceu before Araújo went to Portugal to study economics in 1971. He played music at the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian to earn money for rent. Araújo was one of the East Timorese students from the Casa dos Timores in Lisbon and was a member of the Central Committee of FRETILIN (CCF). In September 1974 he returned to Timor . Here he was given responsibility for the pilot project No. 1 in Aissirimou , with which political groundwork was to be carried out among the population.

When East Timor was proclaimed independence on November 28, 1975 , he was appointed Minister for Economic and Social Affairs , but had been back in Portugal since January. After the Indonesians invaded a few days later, Araújo, who was then in Lisbon, became head of the FRETILIN delegation abroad. Araújo was President of FRETILIN from 1987 to 1989.

Araújo wrote Foho Ramelau , the party anthem of FRETILIN, and the battle song Funu nain FALINTIL ( Eng .: The noble war of FALINTIL ). Araújo professed Marxism , but was also a successful businessman. In 1992 he initiated talks with the Indonesian government, the "London Reconciliation Meeting." On August 20, 1993, Araújo was removed from office by FRETILIN because he had close economic ties to Siti Hardiyanti 'Tutut' Rukmana , the daughter of the Indonesian dictator Suharto . Araújo left the FRETILIN.

In 1999, Araújo founded the Partido Nasionalista Timorense from Lisbon , which in the independence referendum in East Timor spoke out in favor of a solution of autonomy within Indonesia. The people of East Timor spoke out in favor of independence. In the National Consultative Council ( National Consultative Council NCC) the PNT stood in opposition to the UNTAET and the Timorese umbrella organization of the resistance CNRT . In the first parliament of East Timor the PNT won two seats, in the parliamentary elections on June 30, 2007 it failed because of the 3% threshold. Araújo ran for the PNT in the 2012 presidential election and received 1.35% of the vote.

Araújo and his PNT are said to have connections to the veterans organization CPD-RDTL , which repeatedly causes unrest in East Timor. He should also support them financially. Araújo himself denies this.

The brother Afonso Redentor Araújo composed the national anthem of East Timor . He was captured and executed by the Indonesians in 1979.

The youngest sister Aliança Conceição de Araújo sat for the PNT in the NCC and in the national parliament of East Timor.
