history

To the south of Aileu was the kingdom of Dailor , one of the many traditional kingdoms of Timor that was ruled by a Liurai . It appears on a list by Afonso de Castro , a former governor of Portuguese Timor who listed 47 empires in 1868. In January 1894 Dailor signed a written treaty with Portugal on his vassal status to the colonial power.

In 1903 an uprising against the colonial rulers in Aileu failed. In January 1912 the place served as the base of the Portuguese in the suppression of the Manufahi rebellion .

Between 1942 and 1945 , the Japanese occupied Portuguese Timor . On August 20, 1942, Aileu was occupied by 300 Colunas Negras , Timorese allies of the Japanese invaders. On August 31, they killed five Portuguese soldiers and four other Portuguese officials and missionaries. Japan blamed this, as well as other incidents, on "a group of West Timorese " who wanted to settle in the east and were mistreated by the Portuguese.

Aileu was already a stronghold of FRETILIN during the civil war in East Timor in 1975 . This is where the leadership retreated after the Indonesian invasion of Dili , until Aileu was overrun by the Indonesians on December 31, 1975. Before that, FRETILIN had executed around 22 prisoners from the civil war in Aileu.

In Aileu, Banderahun and Fatubossa there were Indonesian camps for East Timorese at the end of 1979, who were to be relocated by the occupiers for better control.

In early September 1999, residents of various sucos were evicted from their homes by the AHI militia ( Aku Hidup dengan Integrasi / Indonesia ) during the Indonesian Operation Donner . The villages were systematically destroyed and the houses burned down. Indonesian military and militiamen started driving around on September 4th and shooting farm animals. On the same day, the residents of Fatubossa, Hoholete and Liclaucana (Suco Fatubossa) were forced to leave their homes. In the city of Aileu, they were loaded onto trucks and deported to Atambua in West Timor , Indonesia . Aissirimou was destroyed on September 5th, Seloi Malere on September 6th, Saboria on September 7th, Liurai on September 8th and Hoholau on September 9th.

Fighters from the East Timorese resistance movement FALINTIL were barracked in Aileu from 2000 to February 2001 after the United Nations took over administration of the country. Later, 600 of the fighters began training there to become soldiers of the new East Timorese Defense Forces .
