history
In 1975, 70 Sucos residents of Taraco and Samalete fled into the woods after intimidation by UDT supporters . At the same time, seven UDT members were murdered by FRETILIN supporters. The murdered are said to have been involved in murders of FRETILIN supporters themselves. Another FRETILIN supporter was later killed by UDT members in revenge.
In March / April 1976, Indonesian troops penetrated into what was then the Railaco sub- district . Civilians were also deliberately murdered. East Timorese were forcibly resettled to better control the country. For this they were housed in transit camps . One of the worst camps was in Railaco from the end of 1979. The Indonesian Battalion 721 interned people in it who had lived with the resistance fighters in the mountains for a particularly long time. Survivors report that they had to gather roots and leaves to avoid starvation. Only once did the internees receive a small amount of corn and salted fish from the soldiers. The fish caused diarrhea in the undernourished, which was often fatal. Aid organizations never visited the camp. According to the reports, up to ten people died a day, mostly children and the elderly.
In 1992 the inhabitants of Eraulo (Suco Samalete) were forcibly relocated to the island of Atauro . The reason was that they allegedly had family members who sought refuge in the woods. Three of the forced deportees died within two months.
There were also acts of violence in Railaco after the independence referendum in East Timor in 1999 by pro-Indonesian militias .
