I am pleased to note that there was some decline in the number of incidents in the Temporary Security Zone and adjacent areas during the reporting period.

During the reporting period, the overall situation in Timor Leste remained calm and stable, except for a few isolated incidents involving mostly martial arts and political opposition groups.

No casualties were reported in these incidents.

Aside from incidents involving humanitarian convoys, there were 160 incidents of threatening verbal abuse, 407 incidents of violence such as physical assaults and gunfire and 88 terrorist related threats against United Nations personnel and field installations.

The Government's record during the reporting period is troubling because of the evidence that its forces triggered some of the incidents, and because there are clear indications that, in many cases, the tribal militia operated with enabling support from the Government.
