Before the 2015 territorial reform, Açumanu had an area of 10.95 km². Now it is 10.88 km². The Suco is located in the southeast of the Liquiçá administrative office. To the west is the Suoc Leotala and north of the Suco Darulete . In the east, Açumanu borders on the administrative office of Bazartete with its Suco Leorema and in the south on the administrative offices of Ermera with its Suco Ponilala and Hatulia with its sucos Lisapat , Mau-Ubo and Urahou, belonging to the municipality of Ermera . The Caicabaisala river initially follows the border with Darulete, separating the north of Açumanus from the rest of Suco and then follows the border with Leotala under the name Curiho until it flows into the Gleno , which in turn forms the southern border with Ermera. The rivers are part of the Lóis system .

history

In Suco Açumanu, during the civil war against FRETILIN on August 13, 1975 , the UDT raised its flag in the Aldeia Caicasaico, burned houses and murdered six people in the Aldeia Siscoelema and Hatumatilu. Parts of the population fled to Leorema , Maubara or the nearby forest. At the end of 1979 there was a so-called transit camp in Caicasaico , in which the occupiers interned East Timorese civilians. On May 29, 1997, elections were held in which representatives of East Timor should be elected to the Indonesian parliament. Several attacks on the Indonesian occupying power and its supporters took place in the surrounding area. A hand grenade was thrown into the polling station in Açumanu. One soldier was wounded.
