At some stage he married an an Australian aid worker, Kirsty Sword IIRC. Anyone know what happened to his first wife? -- Robert Merkel
Is Gusmao of ethnic Portuguese descent? Just curious...-- fredericknoronha 21:35, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
I didn't notice that it mentioned when or how his name was changed. For the record, Xanana contributed to local (Dili?) newspapers. In his words, "There was this popular song at the time that went 'sha na na na'." He chose this as his penname, but changed the spelling from Shanana to Xanana (Don't quote me but that might have been because of Portugese spelling of 'sh'). Someone must have recognized his writing, because one day when he was walking someone behind him called, "Hey, Shanana!" and he turned around. After that the name simply stuck. I am unsure exactly when he began using it officially. Wyrmfire 03:23, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
The box to the right of the article listed his party affiliation as FRETILIN, but FRETILIN re-elected Alkatiri less than two weeks ago. Also, this article from a mainstream Australian news source describes Gusmao as an opponent of FRETILIN. It says he is allied with the Democratic Party (East Timor). Here's a quote:
"The talks came after pressure from the UN, Australia and the US for East Timor's rival political factions - Fretilin and the Democratic Party supported by Mr Gusmao - to settle their differences."
Another article from the same mainstream Australian source says that Gusmao left FRETILIN as long ago as the 1980's: "...during the 1980s Gusmao distanced himself from Marxism and eventually left Fretilin..."
Can someone please settle this confusion? It should of course be possible to provide conclusive proof of Gusmao's party affiliation. It might help if we had a link somewhere to the official FRETILIN website, but I can't find it right now. I saw it yesterday and it had an english part to it but I can't find it anymore.
currently says "he was appointed with a defence lawyers". I would be bold and change it if I knew what it should be- (a) defence lawyer(s) were appointed for him? He appointed his own defence lawyers?

Gusmao is categorized as a survivor of an assassination attempt, but it says nothing in the article. Is it true or should the category be removed? Crisco 1492 ( talk) 15:31, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
