Alexandrino Borromeo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexandrino Borromeo , also Alexandrino Borromeu, was an East Timorese nobleman and former Indonesian administrative officer. He was a member of the União Democrática Timorense (UDT).

Career

Alexandrino is the son of Carlos Borromeu Duarte , Liurai of Alas , and his traditional law wife, Engracia Doutel Sarmento. Carlos Borromeu Duarte had two other wives. Alexandrino has two siblings and two half-siblings.

When Dom Carlos was murdered by the Japanese in 1945 , Alexandrino and his siblings were too young to succeed them as rulers. The reign was initially taken over by the Catholic wife of Carlos Maria Sequeira Carvalho Borromeu Duarte, then the great-great-nephew Januário da Costa Franco until his death in 1973.

In 1974 Alexandrino's brother José Borromeu Duarte became the new Liurai, while Alexandrino became a member of APODETI . Portuguese Timor should be prepared for independence and APODETI, supported by Indonesia, demanded that it join the large neighboring state. After the turmoil of the civil war in 1975 and the declaration of independence by FRETILIN , Indonesia occupied East Timor in Operation Seroja . The so-called Balibo Declaration , in which East Timorese politicians allegedly called Indonesia for help, served as legitimation . Borromeo was, as a representative of the APODETI Presidium, one of the six signatories.

From May 1976 to 1985 Borromeo, now as a member of the UDT, was President of the Government (Bupati) of his home district of Manufahi under Indonesian rule. In 1997 José handed over his position as Liurai to Alexandrino's son Carlos Boromeu Duarte. But father and son had to flee East Timor when Indonesian rule ended. Alexandrino Borromeo has since passed away. First buried in Bali , he was reburied in Atambua in West Timor, Indonesia in 2018 . His daughter Azia Borromeu (actually Josefa Filomena Borromeu Duitte ) now claims the throne of Alas for herself.
