Dr Mar Bim Amude Alkatiri was born in Dili on 2. November 1. 94. 9, where he was brought up and sent to school. In 1. 97. 0, Alkatiri left for Angola to pursue university studies where he graduated as a surveyor at the Angolan School of Geography. At the completion of his studies, Alkatiri returned to then Portuguese Timor and started working as a land surveyor for the colonial government. At the age of 2. 0, way before the Carnation Revolution in Portugal that overthrew the Portuguese dictator Marcelo Caetano, Mar Alkatiri, along with three other colleagues, established the underground movement for the liberation of the then colonised East Timor. Alkatiri is one of the only two survivors from this small group. In the wake of the Carnation Revolution in 1. Associao Social Democrata Timorense ASDT or the Timorese Social Democratic Association established on 2. May 1. 97. 4. On 1. September of the same year, ASDT was dissolved and succeeded by Frente Revolucionria do Timor Leste Independente FRETILIN Revolutionary Front of Independent East Timor, in a bid to unite all Timorese around the cause of Timor Lestes independence, virtually initiating the Timorese National Unity. Alkatiri became a senior member of the FRETILIN Central Committee overseeing the partys international relations policy and one of the main brains of FRETILIN. Alkatiri was charged with the task of rallying support from the African countries for the Timorese rights to independence. On 1. 1 August 1. Timorese Democratic Union UDT launched a coup against FRETILIN, in what was known as anti communist coup fomented by foreign intelligence service. Consequently, Alkatiri took to the hills south of Dili along with the whole Central Committee of FRETILIN and retreated further south to the district of Aileu. It was here that the FRETILIN Central Committee established the FRETILIN military wing, the Foras Armadas de Liberto Nacional Timor Leste the National Liberation Armed Forces of Timor Leste FALINTIL, the force that put down the coup of UDT but also the armed forces leading the resistance against the Indonesian occupation. With the Indonesian invasion imminent, on 2. November 1. 97. 5, FRETILIN unilaterally declared the independence of the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste RDTL. When the Government was sworn in the next day on 2. November, Mar Alkatiri was appointed the Coordinating Minister for Political Affairs. Only a few days after taking office, he was assigned to lead a delegation of some senior members of FRETILIN and members of the newly appointed government to seek international support for and recognition of the new Republic. The Indonesian military invaded only a few days after Alkatiri and his delegation left Timor Leste, which caused him only returning to Timor Leste almost 2. Unable to return to his homeland, Dr Alkatiri established FRETILINs external headquarters in Mozambique and was a tireless campaigner for Timorese independence and continued to be the leading figure of FRETILIN internationally. Despite being a strong advocate for national unity, Alkatiri never left FRETILIN, which made him the only survivor from the core founder of FRETILIN to still remain with the party to date. In 1. 99. 8 when the umbrella resistance organisation, The National Council for Timorese Resistance CNRT was established, Alkatiri was appointed a member of CNRTs National Political Commission where he led the drafting of CNRTs Magna Carta or the peace plan. In the same year, he led the efforts to reorganise FRETILIN, which culminated in the holding of FRETILIN National Conference in Sydney Australia. The conference established the Presidential Council of FRETILIN to which Francisco Guterres Lu Olo was elected the Councils Coordinator and Mar Alkatiri its first Deputy Coordinator. In 1. 99. 9, upon his return to Timor Leste, Alkatiri was appointed by the President of CNRT to take charge of the negotiations over the Timor Sea affairs. He was the Chief Negotiator in the negotiations with Australia that lead to the achievement of the Timor Sea Treaty in 2. Timor Sea practically the treaty that brings to Timor Leste billions of dollars to date, the important resources to finance the reconstruction, the State building and Nation building of Timor Leste. In July 2. 00. 1, FRETILIN held its first Extraordinary Congress in Dili where Mar Alkatiri was elected as the partys Secretary General with Lu Olo elected as President. The pair was then re elected to the same position at the 2. National Congress of FRETILIN. In 2. 01. 1 and 2. FRETILIN respectively, but was now elected in direct internal party elections where every party members holding FRETILIN membership card cast their votes.

May 2. 00. 2, Alkatiri was appointed the first Prime Minister in the internationally recognised independent Timor Leste. Amongst many of the bold policies his government put in place, Alkatiri led the creation of the Petroleum Fund, a Sovereign Wealth Fund that is intended to save wealth derived from the natural resources of Timor Leste for the benefit of both the current and future generations of Timorese. Alkatiri was the leading figure in the alignment of Timor Leste into the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative EITI, who declared Timor Leste to be the third country in the world to be EITI compliant and first in Asia in 2. In 2. 00. 6, at the peak of the political military crisis Timor Leste went through, he resigned from his position as the countrys Prime Minister in a bid to preserve the national unity of Timor Leste.
