Indonesia is no longer seen as a threat and Australian troops on Timorese soil are no longer thought necessary. <br /><br />Taur Matan Ruak's task as president, then, is to oversee the next stage of East Timor's transition: from peace, to relative prosperity. <br /><br />And on Saturday former freedom fighter Taur Matan Ruak was sworn-in as the new President. <br /><br />Al Jazeera's Andrew Thomas reports from Sydney.
