history

Between November 10 and 16, 1998, the Indonesian armed forces carried out a military operation in what was then the Alas sub- district . It was in response to an attack by the FALINTIL resistance movement on the Indonesian military on November 9, 1998, in which three Indonesian soldiers were killed and 13 captured. Eleven soldiers were later released. On November 13, the Indonesian military attacked Taitudac and arrested Vicente Xavier , the village chief and four other people. They were taken to Barique and executed there. The commander of the Indonesian troops in East Timor said the village chief was the leading figure behind the FALINTIL action. On November 15, Taitudac was attacked again by the Indonesian military. Two of Vicente Xavier's nieces, both teenagers, were arrested and held in solitary confinement at the district military headquarters in Same. Eleven other people were arrested on November 16 by Kopassus in Taitudac and Betano. Many residents of the attacked villages fled into the woods or sought refuge in Catholic meetinghouses. Those who stayed behind had to struggle with food and water shortages because the Indonesians had destroyed the aqueduct. In total, around 50 residents of the Alas sub-district were executed and 30 others were arrested.
