| Subject: Idiots: Home exorcised as Ramos-Horta prepares to return Sun Apr 13, 2008 8:26 pm | |
| THE house where East Timor's President, Jose Ramos-Horta, was shot and seriously wounded has been cleansed of evil spirits in a centuries-old Timorese ritual before his return to Dili this week.
Mr Ramos-Horta's relatives held the ritual after he decided to defy security advice and return to the thatched-roof house he built on a hill overlooking Dili harbour.
The ritual, which involved killing a chicken, allowed the spirit of the rebel leader, Alfredo Reinado, to leave peacefully. Reinado was killed during attacks on the house on February 11.
Security officials strongly advised Mr Ramos-Horta not to return to live in the house, which is in an isolated area. But he insisted, reluctantly agreeing to increased protection from foreign troops and Timorese soldiers.
Mr Ramos-Horta's office announced at the weekend he will return on Thursday to what is expected to be a hero's welcome, before addressing parliament.
