Administrative division of Manufahi

Manufahi is a municipality in East Timor . The capital is Same .

Surname

In the Portuguese colonial times, the district was named after the capital, Same .

The current parish name is derived from Maun Fahe , tetum for "divided brothers". The name comes from a legend that tells of the battle between two related tribes. The name was adopted for the then district during the Indonesian occupation. However, it was misspelled so that the meaning of the name in Tetum is now "pig chicken". There are efforts to correct the church name accordingly.

geography

Manufahi is located on the south coast of East Timor on the Timor Sea and since the territorial reform in 2015 has an area of ​​1332.50 km² (before: 1326.60 km²). It borders the municipality of Manatuto to the east, Ainaro to the west and Aileu to the north .

Manufahi is divided into the four administrative offices Alas , Fatuberlio , Same and Turiscai . During the Indonesian occupation, the then sub- district Hato-Udo was separated and Ainaro was connected, for which Turiscai switched from Ainaro to Manufahi. The sucos Letefoho and Babulo are classified as urban.

The north is mountainous country, in which there are also caves. The highest mountain in the municipality is the Cabalaki with 2459  m (other source: 2020  m ). In the south there is a coastal plain in which several rivers carry water all year round. The Caraulun ( Caraulun ) flows into the Betano region along the western border of the municipality . The Sui , which runs through most of the west of Manufahi , also flows into it . The southern Lacló flows through the administrative office of Alas. The administrative office Fatuberlio with the plain of Kicras ( Quirás ) is irrigated by the Clerec ( Clére, Cler ) and the Sáhen ( also Sahe or Sahen ). The Clerec divides on the last kilometers of its run. One arm flows into the Lacló, while another on its way into the sea flows through a large lagoon, the Lagoa Mapliu . In the confluence of Lacló and Clerec there are a number of other lagoons. The Sáhen also forms the eastern border with Manatuto. In 1994 61,797 hectares of the community were still covered with forest. To the west of the capital Same is the Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão National Park , which extends to the neighboring municipality of Ainaro.

Between June and October the climate is hot and dry. Droughts can then lead to food shortages among the population. From November to March, the northeast monsoon brings rain. The annual rainfall is between 2500 and 3000 mm. The southern plains are regularly flooded by the rivers.

history

Boaventura, the rebellious liurai of Manufahi

At the end of the 19th century, the Manufahi empire had about 42,000 inhabitants, just a little less than today's Manufahi municipality. The main town was already at that time Same. The population lived from growing grain and fruit, horses and sheep were also raised and coffee and tobacco were grown. The region was known for outstanding leather, gold and silver work. Also Bubussuso was one of the traditional kingdoms Timor, by a Liurai were ruled. It appears as Bibissuço on a list of Afonso de Castro , a former governor of Portuguese Timor who listed 47 empires in 1868.

In 1860, Portuguese Timor was divided into military commandant offices by the colonial power. The realms of Dotik , Alas , Manufahi, Raemean , Suai and Camenaça belonged to the military command of Alas .

Boaventura , the Liurai of Manufahi, and his father Dom Duarte led several major revolts against the then Portuguese colonial power after Portugal started an offensive against the empire in August 1895. With a pack of blood Manufahi allied himself with several empires against the colonial power. Until 1896 it was able to assert itself in the Manufahi war against the Portuguese.

In 1900, a peace agreement was reached, due to which Dom Duarte had to cede as Liurai in favor of his son Boaventura. Before that, the Portuguese had tried unsuccessfully for two weeks in November to defeat the Manufahi warriors entrenched on Mount Leolaco (Suco Dai-Sua ). In 1907 Manufahi rose again and finally for the last time in 1911. Boaventura united several Timorese empires to form the largest resistance movement that the Portuguese encountered during the colonial period in Timor . The Manufahi rebellion was not put down until 1912 with loyal Timorese and Portuguese-African troops from Mozambique and sometimes even from Angola . Before that, around 3,000 men, women and children of the rebels had been massacred by the Portuguese on Mount Leolaco. East Timorese sources estimate that between 15,000 and 25,000 people were killed in the last revolt alone, and many thousands more were captured and incarcerated. Boaventura died shortly afterwards in captivity on the island of Atauro . Today he is revered as a national hero in East Timor and especially in Manufahi.

In 1939 the first church in Manufahi was consecrated. At that time only 470 Christians were registered there.

Australian soldiers burn down huts in Maubissi (late 1942)

During the Second World War , Portuguese Timor was occupied by the Japanese and the site of the Battle of Timor , in which Australian commandos and part of the population fought against the occupiers using guerrilla tactics . In July 1942 there was an uprising against the Portuguese in Turiscai, which is attributed to Japanese influence. The administrative post was looted. The rebellion was put down by 700 Moradores from Laclo , Laleia and Laclubar . On December 12, 1942, Australian soldiers burned down several huts in Maubissi owned by pro-Japanese Timorese so that they could not serve as a base for the Japanese. The Australian supplies ran through the port of Betano . The Australian destroyer HMAS Voyager was lost here.

On August 27, 1975, during the civil war against the FRETILIN , fighters of the UDT killed eleven of their supporters on the beach of Meti Oan near Wedauberek (Alas administrative office). The FRETILIN supporters were captured on August 11th, some belonged to the FRETILIN youth organization UNETIM. When it was learned that FRETILIN fighters were approaching, the prisoners from Same were taken to the Meti Oan and killed there. One of the victims was Domingos Lobato, President of UNETIM and brother of Nicolau and Rogério Lobato .

Course of the Indonesian invasion : Most of Manufahi only came under Indonesian control between 1978 and 1979.

In 1976, Manufahi was a retreat for the FALINTIL , who fought against the Indonesian invaders. Here they founded several bases de apoio , resistance bases that offered refuge for refugees. The bases were later destroyed by the Indonesians.

The inhabitants of the Sucos Caicassa , Bubussuso and Fahinehan surrendered to the invaders in 1978 after the base de apoio Centro Sul had been destroyed. First they were assembled in the coastal region of Manufahi, then in Fahinehan under the control of the Indonesian Airborne Infantry Battalion 100 . Many of the civilians perished from lack of food and medicine. The internees were only allowed to look for food in the vicinity when accompanied by soldiers. They were not allowed to move more than a kilometer from the camp. Two men were shot for crossing the border. Residents of the three sucos were also interned in Turiscai . There were also resettlement camps in numerous other places in Manufahi at the end of 1979.

In 1981 the inhabitants of Bubussuso and Fahinehan were forcibly relocated to Oeto (Suco Dotik , Alas) by the Indonesian occupiers because they were suspected of continuing to supply the FALINTIL with food. The fields were burned down by the Indonesian soldiers so that they could not use the resistance movement. The new place Weberec was founded for the resettled people . The residents of Caicassa were interned in a resettlement camp in Welaluhu . Since the people from the north of Fatuberlio were only used to their fertile fields as mountain dwellers, they had difficulties in the hot, swampy plains, which led to many deaths from hunger and malaria. They were resettled in the traditional areas by 1983.

On August 20, 1982, FALINTIL fighters attacked the Indonesian Hansip (civil defense) in Rotuto in what was then the sub-district of Same. This was part of the Cabalaki uprising , in which several Indonesian bases in the region were attacked at the same time. The Indonesians immediately sent troops to the region. Houses were burned down, schools closed, and women and children were forced to keep watch in military posts. There were also forced relocations, pillage, looting and rape. FALINTIL fighters and much of the population fled the area.

On November 9, 1998, FALINTIL forces under the command of Jaime Ribeiro attacked the Koramil headquarters in Alas , contrary to the instructions of FALINTIL boss Xanana Gusmão , who called for restraint in military action during this period of negotiations . Three Indonesian soldiers were killed and 13 captured. Eleven soldiers were later released. Nine FALINTIL fighters were also killed. The Indonesian army soon responded with reprisals. Between November 10 and 16, 1998, the Indonesian armed forces carried out a military operation in the Alas sub-district. On November 13, the Indonesian military attacked the Suco Taitudac and arrested Vicente Xavier, the village chief and four other people. They were taken to Barique and executed there. The commander of the Indonesian troops in East Timor said the village chief was the leading figure behind the FALINTIL action. On November 15th the village of Turin and again Taitudac were attacked by the Indonesian military. Vicente Xavier's two nieces, both teenagers, were arrested and held in solitary confinement at the military headquarters of the then district in Same. Eleven other people were arrested on November 16 by Kopassus in the Sucos Taitudac and Betano. Houses were also burned down in Aituha. Many residents of the attacked villages fled into the woods or sought refuge in Catholic meetinghouses. Those who stayed behind had to struggle with food and water shortages because the Indonesians had destroyed the aqueduct. In total, around 50 residents of the sub-district were executed and 30 others were arrested.

School burned down by pro-Indonesian militias in Wecian (2000)

In 1999 the city of Same was almost completely destroyed by pro-Indonesian militias during the Indonesian Operation Donner in the vicinity of the independence referendum in East Timor . In 2001, the Friends of Same friendship group was founded in Boroondara ( state Victoria / Australia) to support aid projects in the region.

In 2007 the rebel Alfredo Reinado and his men hid in the region . In early March 2007, he was able to evade access by Australian ISF troops in the capital, Same. Reinado tried to benefit from the Boaventura myth until his death and to equate with it.

At the end of 2012, over 1,000 supporters of the CPD-RDTL organization under the leadership of General Coordinator Aitahan Matak occupied a large area in Welaluhu, near Weberec , which belongs to the local village community. The administrator of the then sub-district Fatuberlio, Tobias Hornay, spoke of 7,000 members of the CPD-RDTL, the organization itself of as many as 11,000. The centenary of the Manufahi rebellion under Boaventura was chosen as the occasion. Because they wore machetes and uniforms, the local population felt threatened by them and asked them to leave. Aitahan Matak denied a criminal act. They want to operate in a cooperative agriculture to make East Timor independent of imports. There are also no illegal collections of money. You only accept donations to finance the project. The CPD-RDTL also denied that it stole and slaughtered local livestock. The local population complained that their fields had been occupied by the CPD-RDTL, while the organization spoke of unused land that had previously been used by the Indonesians for their resettlement program and therefore now belonged to the state. In mid-March 2013, the remaining 800 CPD-RDTL members were brought back to their home regions by the Welaluhu police . The fields were given to local authorities.

In 2014, the districts across East Timor were transformed into "parishes" and the sub-districts into "administrative offices".
