history
In 1903 and 1912 Quelicai's uprisings against the Portuguese colonial rulers failed .
Aquiles Freitas Soares , the Liurai of Letemumo, was a leading figure in the defense against the Indonesian invaders. Due to internal tensions, however, he was executed at Vemasse , together with other men from his Comando da Luta Boru-Quere, by FRETILIN between December 1976 and January 1977.
The Matebian and its surroundings were the last great resistance center of the FALINTIL ( base de apoio ) against the Indonesians. From 1977 evacuated civilians were settled in new villages around the Matebian according to their origin. They came from Tequinaumata , Samalari , Boleha , Guruça, Afaçá, Namanei, Benamauc , Camea and Fatuahi . In October 1978, the Indonesian attacks on the base began. On November 22nd, the FALINTIL was overrun by the invaders. You can still visit caves that were used by the resistance fighters as refuge.
At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp for East Timorese in the city of Quelicai, who should be relocated by the occupiers for better control. Between 1979 and 1981 205 families from Quelicai, Quelicai in Afaçá , Afaçá, Guruça, Abafala, Uaitame and Bualale were forcibly resettled by the Indonesians via the camp to a new settlement called Mulia in Laga. It was feared that the villages that were close to the forests could support the FALINTIL. The old houses were burned down after the evacuation, fields were destroyed and the cattle were killed. Several residents were injured. The inhabitants were brought to Mulia on trucks under heavy guard.
In the 1980s, Quelicai was bombed and combed several times by the Indonesian army while fighting the FALINTIL, resulting in deaths among the residents. On May 31, 1997, an Indonesian security transport was ambushed in Quelicai. Men in Indonesian military uniform stopped the truck with 28 police officers and soldiers. When the truck stopped, a hand grenade was thrown on the loading area. A barrel of fuel that was there exploded. 17 Indonesians were killed. 114 residents were arrested in the Indonesian military action that followed. Quelicai got off relatively lightly during the acts of violence surrounding the 1999 independence referendum . Pro-Indonesian militiamen only burned a few houses.
The 2001 riots in Quelicai resulted in deaths.
After Xanana Gusmão was commissioned to form a government on August 8, 2007 as a result of the 2007 parliamentary elections , disappointed FRETILIN supporters also rioted in Quelicai. 520 people fled their homes and gathered at Matebian.
At the end of June / beginning of July 2011, the police arrested several dozen members of a gang in what was then the sub-district in a large-scale operation. 50 people were brought to justice. They are accused of theft and rape, especially in Laisorolai and the neighboring sucos.
