Pro-Indonesia militia
Pro-Indonesia militias (also
pro-Indonesian militias) were
East Timorese paramilitary militia groups that formed to show loyalty to the
Indonesian government during the movement for East Timorese independence in the late 1990s. Many believed that the independence movement would be unsuccessful, and that those loyal to Indonesia would be rewarded when they regained control of the area. Most of the worst acts of the period, including the
Liquiçá Church Massacre, were committed by these East Timorese groups, albeit often with support of the Indonesian military.
Eurico Guterres was the most famous member of these groups.
