history

Destroyed mission of the Canossian Sisters in Manatuto (October 1999)

Manatuto 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. The Dominicans founded a mission here early on . Manatuto was tributary to Luca's empire for a long time, but was able to break away in the second half of the 17th century. They turned to traders from Makassar and even set the Dutch flag . A Topasse fleet ended this alliance and conquered Manatuto, making it part of Portuguese sovereignty again.

The Dominican Manuel de Santo António succeeded in converting the Liurais of Manatuto around 1700.

In 1730, Governor Pedro de Melo made an alliance with the Liurai of Manatuto. For 85 days Melo was besieged by 15,000 enemy warriors in Manatuto until he managed to break out on January 13, 1731. Governor Pedro de Rego Barreto da Gama e Castro established a garrison in the city of Manatuto in the same year. In the 1750s, Timor's second seminary was established here after the seminary in Oecusse . From 1769 to 1877, the bishop for the colony had his seat in Manatuto instead of the capital Dili.

Governor Feliciano António Nogueira Lisboa (1788 to 1790) got into an argument with the monk Francisco Luis da Cunha , the representative of the Catholic Church in Manatuto. Both accused each other of robbery and the theft of customs revenue, among other things. To get rid of the governor, the monk incited the people of Manatuto to rebellion. Christianized Timorese threatened to spread the revolt to all of Belu . Finally, the Viceroy of Goa took action , had both men arrested and deported from Timor. The new governor Joaquim Xavier de Morais Sarmento (1790 to 1794) brought the situation back under control.

On December 31, 1975, Indonesian troops landed in Manatuto during the invasion of East Timor and initially occupied the coast east of the city and the area around the highway to Laclubar. It was only between May and June 1978 that the rest of the then sub-district was conquered by the Indonesians. In Carlilu , Tuquete and the city of Manatuto there were Indonesian resettlement camps for East Timorese at the end of 1979, who were supposed to be resettled by the Indonesian occupiers for better control. In the crisis of 1999 , Manatuto was not spared from destruction either.
