history
Fohorem was one of the traditional kingdoms 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.
According to oral tradition, Fohorem Nutetu had secured sovereignty in the region through diplomacy, marriage policy and campaigns against other empires. In Dato Tolu there is an old sword that is stuck in a stone. It should come from the ancestors. There are another five striking stones in a betel nut grove . They are said to be related to the five royal daughters who, according to an old legend , ruled Camenaça , Suai, Maucatar , Taroman and Fohorem under the suzerainty of their father. The name should be derived from this. " Koba " (from which "Kova" is derived) is a basket for ritual ceremonies and "lima", the word for "five".
Governor José Celestino da Silva led an offensive against Fohorem and other neighboring empires in March 1895 to finally subdue them for Portugal . Fohoren became the administrative center of the Portuguese in the region. After the Second World War Fohoren became part of the district (conselho) Fronteira , whose main town was Bobonaro . In 1961, Cova Lima became an independent district with Suai as its capital.
Liurai Faic wanted to use the Japanese invasion to his advantage. He and his supporters had offered themselves to the Japanese in Atambua, West Timor, and tried in April 1942 to eliminate Portuguese rule in Fohorem. But he was quickly defeated and fled back to Atambua. In August he crossed the border again with his men and killed a Portuguese administrator. Japanese forces were also involved in this attack.
To avoid the attacks by the Indonesian army in 1976, most of the residents of the Fohorem, Fatululic, Fatumean and Tilomar sub-districts fled to Mount Taroman . Others fled to the villages of Dato Tolu , Fatuloro , Taroman and Lactos .
After the independence referendum in East Timor in 1999 , there was a massacre in Lactos. 15 people were murdered by Indonesian soldiers and members of the pro-Indonesian militia Laksaur .
politics
The administrator of the administrative office is appointed by the central government in Dili. In 2015 it was Carlos Carvalho de Araújo .
economy
65% of the households in the administrative office grow cassava, 63% coconuts, 65% corn, 63% vegetables, 58% coffee and 21% rice.
