In 2006, ‘Western’ gangs destroyed six thousand homes. Now one third of Dili’ s population live in tents, surviving on less than one dollar of government aid a day. Gangs use arson, martial arts and voodoo tactics to ensure refugees will never return home. “"They are the people who eat the meat from the human,”" says gang member Olderico Campos, about black magic practices in Timor.
