history
Cailaco was one of the traditional empires of Timor, ruled by a liurai . It appears on a list by Afonso de Castro , a former governor of Portuguese Timor who listed 47 empires in 1868. The empire was divided into an East and a West, ruled by two brothers. The younger brother ruled as king of the east ( tata-bei lelosae ), the older as king of the west ( tata-bei lelotu ).
In 1719 several Timorese rulers ( Liurai ) agreed an alliance against the Portuguese; the beginning of the Cailaco rebellion . Cailaco became the rebel headquarters. At that time, 40,000 people lived relatively isolated in the Marobo Valley with the Marobo and Lóis rivers . In 1726 the Portuguese governor António Moniz de Macedo dispatched troops from Dili and Batugade against the Pedras de Cailaco ( Cailaco rocks). The steep walls of the Leolaco offered the empire of Cailaco a natural fortress and were considered impregnable. On October 23, the Portuguese gathered a total of 4,000 men at the foot of the mountain, including Topasse and allied Timorese. After 40 days, however, they had to give up the siege in December, also because of heavy rain.
During the rebellion in Cowa (1868–1871), Cailaco supported the Portuguese colonial power with its own warriors. During the Manufahi rebellion (1911/1912), however, Cailaco supported the rebels.
In 1976 Cailaco was a retreat of the FALINTIL , who fought against the Indonesian invaders. Here she founded a base de apoio , a resistance base that offered refuge for refugees from Cailaco, Hatulia , Letefoho , Maubara and Atabae. The base was later destroyed by the Indonesians.
In 1999 civilians were violently attacked across the country by the Indonesian armed forces and militias allied with them . Seven men were executed in two incidents on April 12 in Cailaco. The trigger was an ambush near the village of Poegoa on the road between Marko and Maliana. Manuel Gama Soares , a supporter of Indonesia, and at least one Indonesian soldier were murdered here early in the morning . The identity of the attackers has not yet been clarified. On the one hand, FALINTIL freedom fighters are suspected, on the other hand members of a pro-Indonesian militia who wanted to create a reason for the later murders. The executions were the beginning of an action against independence supporters in what was then the sub-district. Over the next two weeks, pro-Indonesian militias mistreated hundreds of residents, burned down huts, raped women and girls, and killed 20 people.
