- Xanana's alleged surrender appeals are forgery
-
- Memorandum to Solidarity Groups from Jose Ramos-Horta
- 28 December 1992
-
- 1. I completely endorse John MacDougall's analysis of Xanana
- Gusmao's alleged letters appealing to FALINTIL fighters to
- surrender. Therefore I do not need to elaborate further.
-
- 2. Courtesy of TAPOL I received a faxed copy of the alleged
- letters published by 'Jawa Pos' on 6 December 1992. I did not
- need to have a closer look to conclude that the letters are
- very amateurish forgery.
-
- 3. I have numerous hand-written letters from Xanana and
- others that are type-written with his signature dating from at
- least two years ago till as recently as the first week of
- November 1992, two weeks before his capture. None of these
- letters bear a remote resemblance to the ones published by
- Jawa Pos. Xanana's signature is not that easily forged. There
- are some details in the signature which only I and Xanana know
- about that indicate whether a signature had been or not
- forged.
-
- 4. Regarding certain statements emanating from Lisbon and
- Maputo, I have written a piece for Diario de Noticias which I
- believe answer all the questions. I believe that it had been
- published. I hope that CDPM will provide an English
- translation.
-
- 5. Wish you all a Happy New Year!

- Jose Ramos-Horta,
- Special representative, CNRM
