history

At the beginning of 1979, around a hundred men from the previous district capital Ermera and Suco Ponilala were brought by the Indonesian occupying forces to the place where the city of Gleno is today. The Indonesian military forced the men to clear the previously uninhabited area and remove the vegetation so that the new city could be built here. If the forced laborers failed to complete their daily quota, they were tortured as a punishment. Three men who were too sick to work were killed by the soldiers. Since it was not possible to create gardens at that time, food was supplied by the military. When work on the new district capital, Gleno, was finished in 1983, the military stopped supplies. The families of the forced laborers have now also been forcibly relocated to Gleno. Because basic gardens had still not been laid out, deaths from starvation occurred. It was not until 1985 that the residents of Glenos were allowed to move freely.

At the end of 1979 there was an internment camp in Mangero for East Timorese civilians ( transit camp ) who were to be relocated by the Indonesian occupiers to better combat the FALINTIL .
