Rainy season near Malahara, above the flood plain of the Ira Lalaro. The Paitchau Mountains are in the background.

1763 people live in Muapitine (2015), of which 863 are men and 900 women. The population density is 9.1 inhabitants / km². There are 350 households in the Suco. Almost 100% of the population list Fataluku as their mother tongue. Only a small minority speaks Tetum Prasa .

Before the territorial reform in 2015, Muapitine had an area of ​​76.28 km². Then the town of Malahara and large areas south of the Ira Lalaro were ceded by Mehara to Muapitine. Now there are 194.07 km², making Muapitine the largest Suco in East Timor in terms of area. It is located to the east of the Lospalos administrative office on the Timor Sea . In the north is the Suco Bauro , in the west Fuiloro and in the west the Sucos Lore I and Lore II . To the east is the Tutuala administrative office with its Suco Mehara . The river Urunami forms the border with Lore I, in the east the Aramaco flows, which flows into the Timor Sea at the border with Mehara. In the north part of the Ira Lalaro, the largest lake in East Timor, extends into the Suco during the rainy season . The lake loses a large part of its surface in the dry season . A tributary to the Ira Lalaro runs through the northern border region. The Irasiquero River flows south from the Ira Lalaro . However, it does not reach the Timor Sea, but disappears beforehand in the Mainina hole , a ponor . The banks of the Irasiqueros are swampy, the floodplain area of ​​the lake is largely treeless. The seasonal flooding has so far prevented economic development in the area around the lake.

The Paitchau mountain range is located in the southeast of Muapitine and runs in a west-east direction. Its foothills continue to the northeast towards the town of Tutuala. Its highest elevation is striking, the Paitchau , isolated from the other mountains, at 995  m . The mountain range forms the southern and eastern boundary of the Fuiloro Plateau , which extends into the neighboring administrative office of Tutuala. A river that flows into the Timor Sea is the Veroruhu . Southwest of poljes of Fuiloro Plateau is the cave Puropoko and Kuronohonoho hole , a sinkhole in which a high carbon dioxide content of the air makes any explorations almost impossible.

A little southwest of the settlement center of Muapitine is the place Poguinigue and on the coast the place Lopohoho in the southeast. The hamlet of Muapetine ( Muapitine ) is located southeast of Muapitine . There is a health station in the center of Sucos. The second primary school of sucos is in Malahara. A hydroelectric power plant planned shortly after independence, in which a long tunnel was to divert the water of the Ira Lalaros, below the Paitchau massif ( 797  m ), down into the Timor Sea, was not implemented after years of planning.

In Muapitine are the five Aldeias Lopuloho , Malahara , Muapitine , Pehefito and Vailoro .

The Suco is part of the Nino Konis Santana National Park .

history

The resistance fighter Francisco Ruas Hornay and four of his supporters were executed in Muapitine on November 24th, 1976 because of internal fighting in FRETILIN .

On December 8, 1983, members of the Indonesian army forced the villagers themselves to publicly execute five men of the resistance in Muapitine .

On May 29, 1997, elections were held in which representatives of East Timor should be elected to the Indonesian parliament. Several attacks on the Indonesian occupying power and its supporters took place in the surrounding area. In Muapitine, resistance fighters killed two soldiers and a Balinese immigrant in the transmigration center on May 28 and stole a motorcycle that they used in another murder in Lospalos. They may also have taken hostages at times.
