Support a Debt-Free Timor-Leste
This petition was published by John M Miller on Oct 17, 2011
Tetum below
We, the undersigned, urge the government of Timor-Leste to keep the nation debt-free and refrain from borrowing from international lenders.
We come from many countries, including those that have experienced onerous conditions that placed a priority on repaying loans over the needs of our people. Others of us come from nations that have imposed those conditions.
We have seen how too many developing countries have struggled with debt. We urge Timor-Leste to learn from their experiences.
Despite Timor-Leste's current petroleum wealth, when Timor-Leste's oil and gas run out in less than 15 years and loans still must be repaid, Timor-Leste's children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences.
