history

Today's Avenida Nicolau Lobato in February 2000 with Kampung Alor in the foreground with large open spaces. Today the presidential palace stands on the helipad in Bairro Pite

Kampung Alor used to be the area where the Arab population settled at the end of the 19th century. They are descendants of the Yemeni tribe of the Kathiri from Hadramaut . In the middle of the 20th century they were still growing rice, making copra and fishing. In addition to the mosque, they also ran a Koran school. In 2002, the Annur Mosque was set on fire by demonstrators protesting against Prime Minister Alkatiri . It has been repaired.

During the invasion of East Timor by Indonesia on December 7, 1975, heavy fighting broke out when Indonesian troops landed in Kampung Alor.

The east of Sucos was only built upon after independence.
