Before the 2015 territorial reform, Ahic had an area of ​​151.81 km². Now there are 170.46 km². The Suco is located in the south of the Lacluta administrative office. To the north is the Suco Laline , to the east the Sucos Dilor and Uma Tolu and to the south the administrative office of Viqueque with its Suco Luca . In the west, Ahic borders on the administrative office of Barique ( municipality of Manatuto ) with its sucos barique and fatuwaque .

The river Dilor forms the border with Manatuto . The Bataicain , which rises in Ahic, flows into it . The Nunuc has its source in Ahic. Lake Lacodu ( Lagoa Lacodu ) is located in the southwest corner of Sucos . At the border with Lalina the Datametan flows first . After the tributary of the Has from Laline, the river is called Lacluta . Later the Derocaan comes from the north . Now the united river is called Luca . He then turns south, follows the border with Dilor and Uma Tolu and finally leaves the Laclubar administrative office. To the south of the confluence of the Has and Datametan rivers , from which the river is called Lacluta, lies Lacluta . Only small, little developed roads lead through the Suco. For the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2007 , the ballot boxes had to be brought to the polling station in the Sucos administration and picked up by helicopter.

In the Suco there are the five Aldeias Ai Lo Oc , Cai Ua , Crarec Bocu , Hali Mean and Hali Oan . Although the Aldeias Cai Ua and Hali Mean are in Ahic, the places are in Suco Dilor. Ahic is also located in Dilor.

The Suco has 1247 inhabitants (2015), 681 of whom are men and 566 women. The population density is 7.3 inhabitants / km². There are 223 households in the Suco. 80% of the population name Tetum Terik as their mother tongue. Over 18% speak Midiki , while small minorities speak Tetum Prasa or Galoli . Ahic has the largest illiteracy rate in the entire municipality of Viqueque, at over 80%.

history

In the first time after the beginning of the Indonesian invasion , Ahic was spared fighting, but when the Indonesian army started bombing Ahic, the FALINTIL resistance fighters asked the population to leave the villages. The refugees planted fields and grew sago and rice. On July 10, 1978, the refugees were discovered by the Indonesian army , whereupon they had to flee further. The civilians were not allowed to take their pets with them and therefore killed them. Many families were torn apart during the escape.

In 1980 the inhabitants of Ahic were forcibly deported by the Indonesians. They were taken to a transit camp in Lacluta and from there later to Dilor. Survivors reported:

“In 1979 we surrendered in the old town of Lacluta. Around 500 people died of starvation and the lack of drugs to fight tuberculosis, marasmus and diarrhea. Many who died had no family members to bury them. Some died in the camp and some while looking for something to eat in the forest. We survived on food like:

  • Sago from the bebak palm
  • Fruits of the rubber tree
  • Guavas
  • Leaves from the end of the coconut
  • Maek (a tuber)
  • Kuan (a small, fibrous yam root)
  • Aidak (a kind of lychee)
  • Water spinach
  • Banana saplings
  • Laho (mice)
  • Samea (snakes)
  • Manduku (frogs)

Horses were bought from the Hansip for only 1,000 Indonesian rupiah and two cans of rice for a meal ( rantang ) each . Gold chains could be bought for a can of rice. In exchange for food such as buffalo or deer meat, daughters of Hansip and ABRI members could be forcibly married, even if they were already legally married.

ABRI and the sub- district administrator ( camat ) decided to move the internees from the old city of Lacluta to the village of Dilor . Political leaders and FALINTIL members were tortured and killed in Dilor. All men over 15 years old were instructed to report to the military post in the morning and in the evening and to keep watch at night. If they did not comply, all of their belongings would be stolen and they could be tortured. For example, one could be immersed in dirty water for three hours, forced to walk through thorn bushes, stand on coals, or be hung upside down. Women were regularly raped and forcibly married to Hansip and soldiers without their or their families' consent. Many of the children that emerged from this were simply abandoned.

From 1979 to 1980 we received relief supplies from the Indonesian Red Cross, such as dried fish, chicken, milk, flour, salt, blankets and medicines, and were looked after by medical staff, a doctor and two nurses. However, the food we got was too high in protein to digest for malnourished people and many died. We were finally allowed to create gardens, but only within a radius of less than a kilometer from Dilor and only with a travel permit from the security chief. Often there was forced labor without pay. There were no training opportunities because there were no institutions or teachers. School children were forced to serve as TBOs ( tenaga bantuan operasi , "surgical assistants"). "

politics

In the elections of 2004/2005 was Antonio Alves elected Chefe de Suco. In the 2009 elections won Ernesto Soares .
