The Suco Ossorua is located in the southeast of the Ossu administrative office. Before the 2015 territorial reform, Ossorua had an area of ​​4.92 km², with the settlements of Ossorua and Ossoluquimeta in the center. During the reform, the territory of Ossorua was greatly enlarged. Parts of the sucos Loi-Huno , Uaibobo and Uaguia came to Ossorua. This also included the settlements Dasarai ( Dassarai ), Raimuti, Uatumanutuco ( Uatu Manuruku ) and Uaitutumata from Uaguia in the west and from Uabubo the places Samaliurai ( Sama Liurai ), Darenau ( Darinau ) and Uaitau ( Uaitahu ) in the northeast. The Aldeias with the same name stayed in their old sucos after the reform.

In the west, Ossorua reached as far as the Cuha river and in the east the mountain Builo belonged to the Suco. To the north were now the sucos Uabubo and Uaguia, in the northwest Ossu de Cima and in the southwest Loi-Huno. In the south, Ossorua bordered the administrative office of Viqueque with the Suco Caraubalo and in the east on the administrative office of Uato-Lari with the sucos Afaloicai , Matahoi and Macadique . The area of ​​Ossorua was now 52.55 km².

In 2017, the Aldeias Buareca , Builo , Derulo and Lutuguia were separated as the new Suco Builo . Sources for drawing the boundaries are not yet available, so it is not clear which settlements and whether the Builo mountain belongs to the new Suco. In the Suco Ossorua there are now the eight Aldeias Fatu Dere , Laisorule , Raimuti , Sama-Lari (Makasae for " banyan tree "), Uai-Bobo , Uatu-Laua (Uatu-Lawa) , Umabere and Umatamene .

In addition to the school in Ossorua, the new ones in the settlement centers in the west and north-east each have a primary school. There is also a medical station in the northeast.

In 2015 there were 1281 inhabitants in the Aldeias, which now belonged to Ossorua in 2017. Over 97% of the population name Makasae as their mother tongue. Less than 2% speak Baikeno and a small minority speak Tetum Prasa .

history

Historically, the administrative office was divided into the kingdoms of Ossu and Ossorua, each ruled by a Liurai . This division was symbolized by two holy houses ( Oma-da'a ) on Mount Ossu Umurapa . One on the western and one on the eastern summit. The mountain is in the center of the administrative office.

When the Japanese occupied Timor in 1942 , the people of Ossorua fled to the mountains. Dom Paulo de Freitas de Silva was the ruler of Ossorua at this time, a descendant of the Topasse . He had attended the mission school in Ossu. He supported the Australian special forces that fought in guerrilla tactics against the Japanese in the Battle of Timor . On February 10, 1943, he was evacuated to Australia.

When Indonesia occupied the region in 1976, the houses and fields of the people who had fled were burned and their cattle were killed.

politics

In the elections of 2004/2005 was Fernando Ximenes elected Chefe de Suco. In the 2009 elections , Eduardo da Rosa Freitas won .
