Fuiloro ( Fwiloro ) is an East Timorese place and Suco in the administrative office of Lospalos ( Lautém municipality ).
Place name
Foho means “grass” in the local language Fataluku , loru “plain”, so that the meaning of the place name is roughly “ grass plain”. In 1936 Fuiloro was renamed Vila de Aviz ( Vila de Avis ) by the Portuguese . But the name did not catch on and a few years after the Second World War , the old name was reverted to.
The place
The place lies at an altitude of 328 m and is part of the settlement center of the municipality capital Lospalos . Its center is about 1.5 km further south.
The Salesians of Don Bosco have a mission in Fuiloro. These include schools for all ages (including Don Bosco College ), a boarding school for girls (120 students), an orphanage and an agricultural school ( Don Bosco Agricultural School ). The former Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister of East Timor, Estanislau da Silva , went to primary school with the Salesians between 1961 and 1965. In 2002 cattle for milk production were settled in the mission as a development aid project of the Australian Kiwanis Club of Brighton .
The Suco
The Suco forms the geographical and administrative center of the Lospalos Administrative Office and the Lautém municipality. 16,701 people live here (2015), of which 8,197 are men and 8,504 women. The population density is 163.4 inhabitants / km². There are 2,710 households in the Suco. Most of the residents speak the national language Fataluku. A larger group of Makalero lives in Sawarica and Natura . Almost 65% of the population name Fataluku as their mother tongue. 16% speak Makasae , 11% Tetum Prasa , 3% Sa'ane , 2.5% Makalero , minorities Tetum Terik .
Before the 2015 regional reform, Fuiloro had an area of 104.77 km². Now there are 102.20 km². The north of Sucos lies on the most striking plateau of East Timor, the Fuiloro Plateau ( Planalto de Fuiloro ). It is framed by mountains. Towards the south the plateau drops, imperceptibly due to its large area, from a height of 700 m to 500 m . Originally the plateau was the lagoon of a primeval atoll.
In the northwest, Fuiloro borders on the Suco Raça , in the northeast on Bauro , in the southeast on Muapitine , in the south on Lore II and in the west on Souro and Home . In close proximity to one another, several places form a dense network of settlements, which together with Lospalos forms the third largest city in East Timor. Therefore the Suco is classified as urban. These are (from north to south) Setiara , Cartini 1 ( Kartini 1 ), Cartini 2 ( Kartini 2 ), 30 de Agosto , Laucepo Baru , Larinaca ( Larinacha ), Pato , Fuiloro , Kampung Peternakan ( Kampungpeternakan ), Laucepo Lama , Sidodadi , Sawarica , Motolari , Ira'ara ( irara , Ilara ), Lospalos , Central ( Sentral ), Cartini ( Kartini ), Natura , Chaiuacha Baru ( Chaihuacha Baru ) and Kuluhun . The close settlement extends beyond the borders of the Sucos to the west. In the north there are three other larger settlements: Titilari , Tchauluturo ( Tchaulutu , Chauluturu ) and Bauro (on the border with the Suco of the same name). This and also the smaller Triaula are on the overland road to Com on the north coast of Timor . The country road leads west towards Leuro and then further south to Iliomar . Other small towns are located on the southern border of Fuiloro: Chomoco , Puaperehula ( Puaperchula ), Paitalo and Lereloho . Two small lakes are located on the eastern edge of the settlement center.
In Fuiloro are the eleven Aldeias 30 de Agosto , Bemoris , Central , Ira'ara , Kuluhun , Lereloho , Lospala , Nakroman , Tchauluturo and Titilari .
In total there are two pre-schools, six elementary schools, two preparatory schools for the secondary level and one secondary school in the Lospalos settlement center. There is also a community health center and an extended helipad. Titilari and Bauro also each have a primary school. Bauro also has a secondary school and a helipad for emergencies.
history
There used to be a Portuguese fortress in Fuiloro. During the Second World War , the Japanese armed forces operated the Abisu airfield for heavy bombers with two landing strips (2500 '× 250' and 2000 '× 100') near the village from 1942 . This enabled Japan to extend its aerial surveillance to Australia . Fuiloro was therefore so often the target of Australian bombing attacks during the Battle of Timor that the Australians soon called the flights there “Milk Run” .
During the Indonesian occupation, three companies from Battalion 745 of the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) had their base with 120 soldiers and their families in Fuiloro . It was the first TNI unit that consisted of East Timorese. The other two companies were stationed nearby. Nine days after the independence referendum in East Timor on August 30, 1999, soldiers of the battalion began to hunt down supporters of independence. 13 murders are documented. On September 25, 1999, two nuns and three seminarians from Fuiloro, along with eight other people, were murdered by a pro-Indonesian militia at a roadblock near Lautém .
