The northern part

The northern part was previously called Caicassa 1. It is located in the northwest of the Fatuberlio administrative office. To the west lies the Sucos Fahinehan and Bubussuso and east of the Suco Fatucahi . In the south, North Caicassa borders on the administrative office of Alas with its Suco Dotik and in the northwest on the administrative office of Turiscai with its sucos Orana , Foholau and Matorec . In the northeast is the Laclubar administrative office with its Suco Fatumaquerec belonging to the municipality of Manatuto . The southern Lacló has its source in the west of North Caicassa and later forms the border river to Bubususo. There is also a larger lake near the source. In the north, the Clerec arises from several small rivers , which first follows the border with Fatumaquerec, then that with Fatucahi, before crossing northern Caicassa and then forming the southern part of the border with Dotik.

The place Caicassa is located in the center of the northern part of the Sucos, at an altitude of 608  m . It is the only major settlement in the entire northern part of the Sucos. There is also a primary school here.

The southern part

The southern part was previously called Caicassa 2. It is located in the southwest of Fatuberlio. To the northwest lies the northern part of the Sucos Fatucahi, its southern part to the east. The Suco Clacuc joins to the north and south of it . To the southwest lies the Suco Dotik and to the south lies the Timor Sea . The Clerec follows half way along the border with Dotik before losing itself in the marshy terrain near the coast. There are several larger lakes here, such as the Lagoa Uebete , the Lagoa Uecoceo and the Lagoa Ueharis . The river Oricani crosses the north of South Caicassa , which then follows part of the border with North Fatucahi before flowing into the Clerec as Cuicran .

To the north of the swamps and lakes, the southern coastal road, one of East Timor's most important overland roads, crosses the Suco. The villages Caicassa , Ailalec , Bubur Laletec ( Buburlalete ) and Sucaer Oan ( Sucairau ) are located on it. The southern town of Caicassa is located in the south of the southern part of the Sucos, at an altitude of 102  m . There is also a primary school here.

history

In 1975 Indonesia began the occupation of East Timor. Fatuberlio was a retreat for resistance by the FALINTIL . The inhabitants of the Sucos Caicassa, Bubussuso and Fahinehan surrendered to the invaders in 1978 after the resistance base ( base de apoio ) Centro Sul was destroyed. First they were assembled in the coastal region of Manufahi, then in Fahinehan under the control of the Indonesian Airborne Infantry Battalion 100 . Many of the civilians due to the lack of food and medicine. The internees were only allowed to look for food in the vicinity when accompanied by soldiers. They were not allowed to move more than a kilometer from the camp. Two men were shot for crossing the border. Residents of the three sucos were also interned in Turiscai .

In 1981 the inhabitants of Caicassa were forcibly relocated to Welaluhu (Suco Clacuc) by the Indonesian occupiers . Many died of malaria and starvation.

On December 27, 1998, the pro-Indonesian militia Besi Merah Putih (BMP) was founded in Caicassa . This militia was considered one of the most feared in East Timor during the wave of violence before and after the 1999 independence referendum . She has been held responsible for hundreds of cases of arson, murder, torture and rape.

politics

In the 2004/2005 elections , Marcos Monteiro was elected Chefe de Suco. In the 2009 elections won Henrique de Jesus .
