National Council of Timorese Resistance (CNRT)

The National Council of Timorese Resistance (CNRT) is a political organization in East Timor that was originally formed during the country's struggle for independence from Indonesia. It served as a unifying platform for various resistance groups advocating for East Timor's sovereignty. After independence was achieved in 2002, CNRT transitioned into a political party that has played a significant role in the nation's government. Led by key figures like Xanana Gusmão, CNRT focuses on national development, political stability, and addressing economic and social challenges faced by East Timor.
