Betun, Indonesia
Betun is the capital of Malaka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Aside from Atambua, this town was also one of the shelters for refugees from neighboring East Timor, who fled because of the violence and destruction that erupted after East Timor voted for independence from Indonesia in 1999. When violence erupted in East Timor in 2006, there was again an influx of refugees.
