history

At the Bso'ot dance in Oekum

1556 founded Dominicans to secure the Sandelholzhandels place Lifau , 6 km west of the modern town of Pante Macassar. From 1702 to 1769 Lifau was the administrative seat of Portuguese Timor . It was in the territory of the Empire of Oecussi, which had its seat in Oesono . The empire was ruled by Topasse . The topasses were descendants of Portuguese soldiers, sailors and traders who married women from Solor . They decisively determined the developments on Timor in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1769 the Portuguese were forced to move their colonial capital to Dili .

During the rebellion in Cová (1868–1871), Oecussi supported the Portuguese. In May 1912, during the great Manufahi rebellion , there was also an uprising against the colonial rulers in Oecussi. With the support of the gunboat Pátria , the uprising was put down.

In the turmoil of the last months of Portuguese rule over East Timor, Indonesia occupied the exclave Oe-Cusse Ambeno on June 6, 1975. When FRETILIN finally declared East Timor independent from Portugal on November 28, 1975, the Indonesian flag was already on the following day set in Pante Macassar. The invasion of the rest of East Timor began on December 7, 1975.

During the riots of 1999 that followed the independence referendum , Pante Macassar was the target of pro-Indonesian militias , supported by the Indonesian military. 65 civilians who supported independence were hanged and the city of Pante Macassar burned down except for two churches.

After the 2004/2005 elections , Jose “Camada” Martins was appointed administrator of the then sub-district Pante Macassar by the East Timorese government. In 2014 Constancio Suni was administrator.
