Example sentences for: anti-independence
How can you use “anti-independence” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The New York Times and Los Angeles Times lead with East Timor, where the region's just-announced vote to secede from Indonesia is being met with a murderous spree by anti-independence groups.
The papers agree that Monday in East Timor, anti-independence gangs took control, forcing the United Nations to evacuate half its staff, running off the region's Nobel Peace Prize-winning bishop, shooting up the Australian ambassador's residence, burning homes, and shooting and terrorizing the general populace.
The LAT draws a connection between the arrival of Indonesian army troops, sent to "restore peace," and the imminent refugee crisis: It was the army that trained, paid, and supported the anti-independence militias who're leading the killing rampage.
The gist of the Post and LAT pieces is of a long-oppressed people finally getting their say, while the NYT goes rather more postmodern, noting that "though the anti-independence militias have clearly had the upper hand in terror, the pro-independence forces, with 24 years of experience in both war and propaganda, have seized the role of well-intentioned victims."
The anti-independence forces, labeled "gangs" high up by the two Times (although the word is never used by the WP ), had by late Sunday set fire to numerous buildings in the territorial capital of Dili and shot "scores" of Timorese there and elsewhere on the island.
