history

Bobonaro Market (December 1968)

The Marobo-Kemak had a small empire in the north of Bobonaro under the domination of the empire of Atsabe, on the periphery of which it was located. Governor José Celestino da Silva led an offensive against Marobo and Obulo in March 1895 in order to finally subdue them for Portugal.

In January 1976, Indonesian armed forces began occupying what was then the sub-district of Bobonaro. Residents of Ai-Assa and Malilait report that attacks by ground and air forces forced civilians to flee several times. Many died from wounds, disease and starvation. In 1979 the villagers gave up and surrendered to the Indonesian troops.

There have been repeated violent conflicts in the past between the sucos of Tapo, Oeleo and Leber, whereby the supra-regional conflicts between 1975 and 1999 also had an impact and led to fights and displacement. The pro-Indonesian militia Dadarus Merah Putih from Ritabou was active in these sucos in 1999 .
