East Timor Independence Day, 2002 -- Kofi Annan

Part of the opening ceremonies for East Timor's celebration of independence, as the country becomes a democracy. Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, addresses the Timorese people.
If you are not familiar with the country's history, and you can make an hour in your schedule for it, we recommend watching Death of a Nation by David Munro -- available on TH-cam -- to get a sense of what the Timorese people had gone through to reach this day.
