history

At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp for East Timorese in Uma Tolu , who should be relocated by the occupiers for better control. In 1982 the inhabitants of Uma Tolu were forcibly deported first to Dilor and then to Uma Lor in Suco Luca.

On August 21, 1999, as part of the crisis in East Timor, there was a shooting in Uma Tolu, a few days before the independence referendum . On August 22nd, Indonesian soldiers surrounded several refugees in the community hall, near the football field. One villager was shot and nine others also injured. Several houses were burned down, including the house of the headmaster, who had organized youths in an anti- militia guard. 260 people fled the place. Militias set up roadblocks in Suco.
