history

At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp for East Timorese in the city of Quelicai , who should be relocated by the occupiers for better control. Between 1979 and 1981 205 families from Quelicai, Quelicai (Afaçá) , Afaçá , Guruça , Abafala , Uaitame and Bualale were forcibly relocated to a new settlement called Mulia in Laga by the Indonesians via the camp . It was feared that the places that were close to the forests could support the FALINTIL. The old houses were burned down after the evacuation, fields were destroyed and the cattle were killed. Several residents were injured. The inhabitants were brought to Mulia on trucks under heavy guard.

In the 1980s, Quelicai was bombed and combed several times by the Indonesian army while fighting the FALINTIL , resulting in deaths among the residents. On May 31, 1997, an Indonesian security transport was ambushed in Quelicai. Men in Indonesian military uniform stopped the truck with 28 police officers and soldiers. When the truck stopped, a hand grenade was thrown on the loading area. A barrel of fuel that was there exploded. 18 Indonesians were killed. 114 residents were arrested in the Indonesian military action that followed. Quelicai got off relatively lightly during the acts of violence surrounding the 1999 independence referendum . Pro-Indonesian militiamen only burned a few houses.
