history

The small port of Becos on the Timor Sea played an important role for the Allied supplies and as an evacuation point during the Battle of Timor in World War II . On August 9, 1942, the Japanese bombed Beco.

The bunak settlements from Suai to Zumalai were only recently established. Before that, the region was uninhabited. These start-ups still have relationships with their places of origin. Beco has deep relationships with Teda, in the north of the Sucos, even if the emigration was several generations ago. Their dialect is actually close to that of the Lolotoe region, even if some vocabulary has been adopted from the Southwest dialect. Other settlements only emerged during the Indonesian occupation, when entire villages were resettled from the north along the southern coastal road around Zumalai. Their dialect corresponds completely to that of the highlands.

In 1976 a base de apoio was established in Suco Beco , in which FRETILIN settled refugees before the Indonesian invasion. The base was later destroyed by the Indonesian forces.

On August 10, a Nepalese UN soldier died in combat with a militia near Beco . Three other Nepalese soldiers and one East Timorese civilian were injured.

politics

In the elections of 2004/2005 was Manuel Ferreira elected Chefe de Suco and in 2009 re-elected.
