history

Former Koramil building

In 1978 there was a camp for East Timorese in Metinaro, who were to be relocated by the Indonesian occupiers for better control. 40,000 people were held here by mid-1979.

Between July and August 1999, earlier than in the rest of East Timor, most of the residents of Metinaros had left the place due to the wave of violence . Pro- Indonesian militias ( Wanra ) had terrorized the population, 70% of the place was destroyed.

Since the 2006 riots , up to 9,000 refugees have lived in a camp near the Nicolau Lobato training center. The warehouse was closed in June 2009.

As a result of the parliamentary elections on June 30, 2007 and the subsequent commissioning of Xanana Gusmão to form a government, violent riots and fights between supporters of the new government and sympathizers of FRETILIN broke out in many parts of the country . On August 22nd, between one hundred and three hundred fought each other with machetes, steel arrows and bows. The police brought the situation back under their control, but the market was completely burned down. Three people were arrested. The next day there was another fighting in which ten houses went up in flames.
