history

In an ambush by the FALINTIL in the mountains near Aituto on April 15, 1976, 54 Indonesian soldiers of the 405th Infantry Battalion who were traveling in a convoy of trucks died.

On August 20, 1982, FALINTIL fighters attacked the Hansip (civil defense) in Aituto. This was part of the Cabalaki uprising . The Indonesians immediately sent troops to the region. Houses were burned down, schools closed, and women and children were forced to keep watch in military posts. There were forced relocations, pillage, looting and rape. The military posts were set up in every aldeia in the region. FALINTIL fighters and much of the population fled the area.

In 1989, Indonesian soldiers burned the coffee plantations and forests in Suco to hunt down rebels on the mountain slopes. Villages believed to be a refuge for rebels were razed to the ground.

politics

In the 2004/2005 elections , Amandio da Silva was elected Chefe de Suco. In the 2009 elections , António Mendonca Paecheco won and was confirmed in office in 2016 .

Buildings

Hiut Lel

During the Portuguese colonial times, the Suco was known for such traditional huts, which were adorned with buffalo or goat horns at the top of the roof. There is also a white church here.

On Fleixa Pass the Holy House (located Uma Lulik ) of HIUT Lel, a cultural center of the Mambai . It is on the top of a small mountain, near a circular stone wall. The holy house in Aituto is particularly striking with its decorations. According to the local Mambai tradition, it is a round hut with a conical, thatched roof, in contrast to the otherwise rectangular holy houses in East Timor with the distinctive, steep roof.

economy

To improve the household budget, many families plant coffee. The weather on the Sucos mountain slopes is often too windy for the cultivation of the maize, which is otherwise common in northern Ainaro, which is why wheat and barley are also grown. For the harvest in August / September, sowing takes place in April or May, then again in November for the harvest in March. Food supply bottlenecks can occur in January / February in particular. In addition, beans, bananas, potatoes and taro are grown.
