history

In 1902 an uprising against the Portuguese colonial rulers in Ainaro failed .

In 1912 the insurgent Liurai Dom Boaventura attacked the Portuguese military post in Ainaro during the Manufahi rebellion , but was repulsed with the support of Nai-Cau , the Liurai of Soro. Nai-Cau, called the Traitor-Liurai by the Timorese because of his support for Portugal , had achieved the independence of his empire from Atsabe in 1907 , whose borders in the east and south extended to Manufahi . Therefore, Soro also became one of the bases from which the Portuguese fought Manufahi. Nai-Cau's nephew and successor Aleixo Corte-Real , who had also fought against Boaventura in 1911/12, also fought against the Japanese invaders who occupied Timor in 1942 . In 1943 he and his family were shot by the Japanese. After the war, the Portuguese made Corte-Real a Timorese folk hero.

Ainaro was conquered by the Indonesians on February 23, 1975 .

During the Indonesian occupation between 1975 and 1999, the city of Ainaro was a major military base for the Indonesian military. There were also many militiamen supported by the military , such as those of the Mahidi . As a result, more than 95% of the buildings in the city of Ainaro were destroyed in the pre- and post-independence referendum on August 30, 1999. Many residents of the then sub-district were displaced during this time and had to flee to West Timorese refugee camps.
