[00:00:00]Do you know how the Muslim country Indonesia was divided into a separate Christian country?

[00:00:06]Indonesia, a country [clears throat] where no Muslim army reached, only some Muslim Arab traders inspired the people of this region to convert to Islam.

[00:00:14]This was the case until 2002, but with East Timor in trouble.

[00:00:19]This region of Indonesia has been ruled by Portugal since about 1600, as a result of which the people of this region were Christians.

[00:00:27]Even though the Portuguese left the region in 1975, the local people, being Christians, did not want to live with the Muslim-dominated Indonesia in any way.

[00:00:36]There [snorts] were protests and rebellions demanding an independent state.

[00:00:40]Finally, in 2002, the United Nations intervened and sent troops to take it from Indonesia and establish East Timor as an independent state.
