history

Portuguese Cavalry Squadron in Atabae in 1969 in memory of Francisco Duarte
6th Atabae Cavalry Squadron (in Atsabe until June 1970 )

In Cotubaba ( Tutubaba ?), Near Batugade, there was an attack on Portuguese troops by Timorese warriors in 1865 . The ruler of Atabae, together with the Liurai of Maubara, rebelled against the Portuguese colonial rulers in 1893 . For Atabae, the Maubara revolt ended with an ultimatum from the Portuguese. On July 14, the ruler of Atabae agreed, swore allegiance to the king of Portugal and had to pay compensation in the form of money, buffalo and pigs. In 1896 Atabae supported the Manufahi Empire in another war against the Portuguese . The well-known Portuguese officer Francisco Duarte was killed during the siege of Atabae .

From October 1975, Indonesian troops took advantage of the chaos before the withdrawal of the Portuguese colonial rulers in East Timor and gradually occupied the districts of Bobonaro, Cova Lima and Oe-Cusse Ambeno . At the beginning of November, fighters of the FRETILIN under Aquiles Freitas Soares offered resistance in Atabae. From mid-November the Indonesians fired at Aida balets from the sea. On November 26th, the East Timorese stopped the resistance. The Indonesians occupied the place on the morning of November 28th. As a result, the FRETILIN decided on the same day to declare the independence of East Timor, in the hope that the United Nations would recognize and support the new country. The hope was not fulfilled. East Timor was completely annexed in violation of international law and only regained its independence in 2002.

On October 16, 1999, in Aidabasalala (Suco Hataz) there was a skirmish between six Australian INTERFET soldiers and around 20 members of a pro-Indonesian militia . Three militiamen were killed and three others were injured.
