history

Atsabe was one of the centers of Timor even before the colonial era . The ruler was the coronel messenger ( Tetum : Liurai ) of the Atsabe-Kemak . Atsabe dominated the entire Kemak inhabited areas in East Timor. In addition to the region of Atsabe, this affected areas in the north of today's Bobonaro , in the north of Ainaro and in the area of Suai . Oral traditions refer to Laclo and Leimea as the origin of the Kemak, but the cultural and political center later became Tiarlelo , as the coronel messenger lived there. The coronel messengers of this family are referred to in some oral traditions as usurpers who took over the rule of Laclo and Leimea.
