The kingdom of Foholau was assigned to the 8º Comando militar de Alas in 1883 by the Portuguese governor Bento da França Pinto de Oliveira .

During the civil war between FRETILIN and UDT in 1975, FRETILIN fighters attacked the Aldeia Leubuti in September. The residents, mostly supporters of the APODETI , fled into the woods. Three of them were killed. Others were brought to Turiscai and had to work in the fields there.

In 1975 the Indonesians invaded East Timor. The resistance of FRETILIN and its military arm, the FALINTIL , formed in the mountains, including in Turiscai. In 1978 the Indonesians attacked Foholau and other sucos in Turiscai. Houses and granaries were burned down. The inhabitants fled south towards Alas and Fatuberlio . 90 died of hunger and disease. 150 of them were caught and brought back.
