history

This Portuguese monument from 1963 shows that Remexio was part of the Dili district at that time

In 1976 Remexio was a retreat of the FALINTIL , who fought against the Indonesian invaders. Here she founded a base de apoio , a resistance base that offered refuge for refugees from Remexio, Laclo, Aileu and Dili. There was also a re-education camp ( Renal ) where suspects were detained by the FALINTIL. Some inmates died due to poor care. The base was later destroyed by the Indonesians.

From 1978 to the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp near Remexio for East Timorese who were supposed to be relocated by the occupiers for better control. 4,000 people lived here in catastrophic conditions that journalists documented. They had visited the camp together with eleven foreign ambassadors and the then Indonesian Foreign Minister Mochtar Kusumaatmadja on September 6th and 7th, 1978. Photos of malnourished adults and children from the camp were published in newspapers around the world. Many people died of starvation and diarrhea. Between 1970 and 1980, Remexio's population decreased by 37.8% from 7851 to 4880.

On September 6, the entire then sub-district was devastated by pro-Indonesian militias in Operation Donner . Just a few days earlier, the people of East Timor had voted in a referendum for independence from Indonesia. Houses and public facilities such as schools were burned down. The water pipe and the power generators were also destroyed.
