Inácio de Moura

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inácio Moura is a Portuguese - East Timorese poet and author.

Moura worked in the tourism department of the Portuguese colonial administration in Dili . In 1970 Moura published Legends of the Kemak in the newspaper A Voz de Timor . Long before the Carnation Revolution in 1974, he used the term “ Maetze ” for the Timorese population . In his poems he spoke of the “people of the maeaner” and the “land of maube”. His poem “Peregrinos da sorte” was published in 1972 in Seara , the magazine of the Diocese of Dili . On September 23, 1973, it was republished in Seara and caught the attention of the Polícia Internacional e de Defesa do Estado(PIDE). Some poems in the book "Vamos Cantar Uma Ilha", published together with Julieta Fatal , were criticized by the PIDE and led to resentment. In this volume of poetry, Moura used the word “Mau Bere” several times. In the FRETILIN independence movement, “Maupe” became a symbolic word for the Timorese and is still in use today. When the Seara was closed in 1973, many who had published articles on the independence of Portuguese Timor in it met at secret meetings. Moura was one of them. From these meetings in 1974 the parties União Democrática Timorense (UDT) and FRETILIN emerged.

Moura was the highest-ranking Portuguese civil servant who remained in the country after the Portuguese withdrew . After the Indonesian invasion , he spent twelve years in prison. He had worked as a spokesperson for Radio Ma Brille . After his release, he first worked in the Indonesian administration. He was the official leader of the Indonesian government for most of the foreign visitors to East Timor before going to Portugal in 1988 and reporting on the mass murders of the occupiers. Today he lives in Australia .

Moura is married to a woman from the Hakka minority in East Timor.
