The Mahidi, which was an acronym for Mati Hidup dengan Indonesia meaning Live and Die in Indonesia,[1] was a militia in East Timor loyal to Indonesia.[2] Started December 1998,[3] they participated in the 1999 East Timorese crisis, and the group was one of the most violent of the armed forces during the crisis. They were linked to the Suai Church massacre which lead to around 200 deaths as well as other mass killings.
