What is life like in East Timor?
Is it more or less developed than the western part ran by Indonesia?

Australia really fucked them over by stealing all of their oil deposits, they could have used the money to turn into some kind of bizarro Asian Bahrain. Sadly not to be due to the eternal greed of the Anglo.

Are you sure, I’m looking at the capital city and Dili city looks 2-3x more developed than Kumpang.
I thought there would be like a bit more development in Kumpang

Basically Australia respects the pink line as the boundary for EEZs but a separate treaty concluded in the 70s when Timor didn't exist means we get all of the seabed minerals and fuel up to the blue line even though it's technically in their EEZ
Most of the oil in the region is beyond the blue line but because it's a seabed resource it's Australia's

I find it funny when Indonesians say Australia is evil because of this when this treaty was concluded when East Timor was part of Indonesia

>Kupang vs Dili
Huh, they looks pretty much the same here
But outside of the capital, you can see more development from the Indonesia side THOUGH albeit only slightly

Kupang has somewhat more shoddy houses that are built with rusty rooftops, and looks an bit less developed than Dili.
Outside the capital I dunno, according to one video I saw 33% of East Timor people can’t read or write.

usual american and australian money. Dili got their development money, Kupang didn't. East Timor also have that useless freeway that was only build so that the chinese can get to the mining places faster and even then they barely use that road. Aceh is like that too because of tsunami so they have american built road. Indonesia can really have world class infrastructure because geography dictates that the resources will be divided. Anyway I've been to Kupang and Dili and while dili looks a bit more developed I've seen more literal starving people in the street which is something I've never seen in Kupang.

Kupang is literally 3rd tier capital city located in Eastern Indonesia where development is non existent while Dili is capital city of Timor Leste
