history

After the Indonesian invasion of East Timor in 1975, residents of Bucoli fled to Mount Lame , where they met refugees from Vemasse and Karabela . In the middle of March 1976 the Indonesians attacked the refugee camp with bazookas and mortars and destroyed both the huts and the food store. The residents fled along the Rio Vemasse eight kilometers further south, to Uaigae , where they again planted gardens for self-sufficiency. But as the fighting came closer, they had to flee again until they finally found refuge again in Uai-Mori (today Suco Bibileo ), 20 km south of Vemasse, under the protection of the FRETILIN . A base de apoio was created here, a base of resistance. Together with refugees from Dili, Viqueque and other parts of the country, they lived here for two years. Over time, food shortages grew as more and more people arrived. In 1978, Uai-Mori was also attacked by Indonesian forces. Most of the residents fled, some were captured by the Indonesians and taken to the Bucoli assembly camp.

On October 8, 2005, the newly established headquarters of the UNDERTIM party in Bucoli was devastated. Secretary General Cristiano do Costa accused FRETILIN members of the crime. They also tried to steal the flagpole on October 10, which the police prevented. The next day they managed to steal the party flag and the national flag. The local chief, Carlos Baptista from FRETILIN, said that it was of course not forbidden for another party to fly their flag, but FRETILIN was the dominant party in the area and the elected representatives had to be respected. In addition, UNDERTIM did not explain why it came to the town. The flag was kept in the town hall of Bucoli until a meeting between the two parties.

politics

In the 2004/2005 elections , Terezinha de Jesus dos Reis was elected Chefe de Suco and confirmed in office in 2009 and 2016 . She is the sister of Vicente dos Reis .
