On July 6, 1982, three members of FALINTIL and 36 local resistance fighters began planning the series of attacks against the occupying forces in the region. However, the plans were revealed by an Indonesian informant, which is why the Indonesian army and civil defense forces ( Hansip ) began to search houses in Goulora , Mauchiga and Hato-Quero (Suco Mauchiga, Hatu-Builico administrative office , Ainaro municipality ) on July 10th . Thirty people were arrested, including 13 participants in the July 6th planning. They were taken to the district military headquarters in the city of Ainaro (Kodim) and interrogated there under torture. Further arrests took place over the next few days. Those arrested were taken to the sub- district headquarters (Koramil) in Hatu-Builico .
Despite the wave of arrests, the attacks continued on August 20. At 4:30 a.m., FALINTIL fighters and men from Dare (Suco Mulo , Hatu-Builico Administration Office) and Mauchiga under the orders of Venancio Ferraz and Mauhunu attacked the headquarters in Dare (Dare Koramil) , the police and the Koramil in Hatu- Builico and the Hansip in Aituto (sub-district Maubisse), Raimerhei (sub-district Ermera , district Ermera ) and Rotuto (sub-district Same).
In the days that followed, additional Indonesian troops were deployed to the region, including units from Battalions 745 and 746. From August 20 to 24, Indonesian soldiers and Hansip destroyed fields and burned houses. Schools have been closed in Dare and women and children have been forced to keep watch in military posts. The military posts were set up in every Aldeia in the region, plus eight community posts around Dare. FALINTIL fighters and a large part of the population fled the area, including several hundred civilians on the Cabalaki. They were surrounded by the Indonesians and deported to Dotik ( Alas subdistrict , Manufahi district). 30 people were picked up in the Nonai Cave and taken to Dare. Those who were unable to flee from the towns of Mauchiga, Mulo and Dare were at risk of being captured, as was the entire population of the village of Mauchiga, who were deported to Dare. Elsewhere, individuals were arrested who were suspected of being involved in the attacks, of having information or of having relatives with FALINTIL. Some members of the Hansip who were suspected of cooperating with FALINTIL were arrested in Rotuto. Many others were forcibly relocated, for example to Dare, the island of Atauro and Dotik. Some were also sent to the Comarca prison in Dili . By January 1986 464 Sucos Mauchiga residents had been deported from their homeland, around 20.4% of the total population. Almost half of them were women, 38.8% children. The death of 117 people from Suco Mauchiga between 1982 and 1983 is documented in connection with these abductions, as well as numerous rapes during this time.
