In the north it borders on the Suco Gildapil , in the northeast on Lontas and in the east on Deudet . The river Silac forms the eastern border . Like the Latil , which rises in Lebos, it flows into the Ruiketan , which forms a large part of the southern border of Lebos with the municipality of Cova Lima and its Suco Holpilat (administrative office of Maucatar ). The river Sele , which flows into the Malibaca , has its source in the west of Lebos . The Malibaca is the western border river from Lebos to the Indonesian West Timor .

A country road crosses the Suco from southwest to northeast. It connects Taroman and Suai in Cova Lima with Lolotoe and Oeleo in Bobonaro. The larger towns of sucos are north of the highway. The village of Ibuk is located in close proximity to it in the west . A little further away in the north are Lebos, Iipo ( Ilpo ) and finally on the border with Gildapil Mabelis .

In the Suco there are the two Aldeias Mabelis and Mapelai .

history

After the Second World War , Bunak fled Lebos to Lamaknen in West Timor, Indonesia. They feared reprisals after collaborating with the Japanese during the Battle of Timor . The then ruler of Lamaknen, the Loroh ( Loro ) Alfonsus Andreas Bere Tallo, allocated land to the refugees, where they founded the village of Lakus (in today's Desa Kewar ).

An Indonesian attack on Lebos failed in mid-October .

At the beginning of October 1999, five INTERFET soldiers were attacked by 12 to 15 supporters of a pro-Indonesian militia in Lebos. One militia officer was killed in the exchange of fire and several others are believed to have been injured.
