East Timorese President Xanana Gusmao (C) is being helped by his aids after meeting his supporters in Dili May 29, 2006. East Timor's government met for crisis talks on Monday as foreign troops patrolled a tense but largely peaceful capital after a weekend of violence by gangs allied to feuding factions of the country's armed forces.
