history

Lalawa 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. Governor José Celestino da Silva led an offensive against Lalawa, Casabauc and other neighboring empires in March 1895 to finally subdue them for Portugal .

The Bunak in the higher part of Lalawa and in Beiseuc came in a large stream of refugees from Bobonaro County when they fled the Japanese army during World War II . Allied guerrilla units had operated against the Japanese from Lolotoe and the town of Bobonaro , whereupon the Japanese troops carried out retaliation against the civilian population in Bobonaro in August 1942, probably killing tens of thousands of people and displacing others. The Bunak in the lowlands were forcibly relocated from northern Sucos Cova Limas, such as Fatululic and Taroman , by the Indonesian occupation forces. The official goal was a development program for rice cultivation.

politics

In the elections of 2004/2005 was Joselino da Silva elected Chefe de Suco. In the 2009 elections , Edinho Moniz do Rego won .
