history
Same was the capital of the kingdom of Manufahi. Boaventura , the Liurai of Manufahi and his father Duarte led several major revolts against the then Portuguese colonial power between 1895 and 1912 . Boaventura united several Timorese empires into the largest resistance movement that the Portuguese encountered during the colonial period on Timor . It was not until the Manufahi rebellion in 1911/12 that the uprising was finally defeated with loyal Timorese and Portuguese-African troops from Mozambique and sometimes even from Angola and Boaventura was captured in Betano. He died shortly afterwards on the island of Atauro . East Timorese sources estimate that between 15,000 and 25,000 people were killed and many thousands more were captured and incarcerated in the last revolt. The massacre on Mount Leolaco in what is now Suco Dai-Sua, one of the largest massacres in Portuguese colonial history , killed around 3,000 men, women and children in August 1912.
During the Second World War , Portuguese Timor was occupied by the Japanese . They resisted, during the Battle of Timor , Australian troops in guerrilla warfare. The Australian supplies ran through the port of Betano. The Australian destroyer HMAS Voyager was lost here. Same church was destroyed during the occupation. Its ruins are still standing near the place today.
During the civil war between FRETILIN and UDT , in the last days of Portuguese colonial rule, most of the residents of Letefoho fled their homes to the mountains on August 11, 1975. They feared being abducted by the UDT after FRETILIN supporters had been killed in Wedauberek (Alas sub- district).
In 1975 the Indonesians invaded East Timor. By October 1976 the most important cities like Same were also occupied. At the end of 1979 there were Indonesian camps for East Timorese in Betano, Dai-Sua, Holarua, Letefoho, the city of Same and Babulo, who were to be relocated by the occupiers for better control.
On August 20, 1982, FALINTIL fighters attacked the Indonesian Hansip (civil defense) in Rotuto. This was part of the Cabalaki uprising , in which several Indonesian bases in the region were attacked at the same time. The Indonesians immediately sent troops to the region. Houses were burned down, schools closed, and women and children were forced to keep watch in military posts. There were also forced relocations, pillage, looting and rape. FALINTIL fighters and much of the population fled the area.
In 1999 the town of Same was almost completely destroyed by pro-Indonesian militias during the unrest surrounding the independence referendum in East Timor . In 2001, the Friends of Same friendship group was founded in Boroondara ( state Victoria / Australia) to support aid projects in the region.
On March 1, 2007, the fugitive rebel leader Alfredo Reinado was trapped in Same with 150 men by Australian ISF soldiers. To him were joined by Gastão Salsinha , another leader of the rebel soldiers and the independent Member of Parliament Leandro Isaac , to support him. About a hundred residents fled the place. On March 4, the Australian Army stormed the place with the help of helicopters and armored vehicles. Five rebels died, while no one was injured by the Australians. Reinado managed to escape, as did Gastão Salsinha and his men. Leonardo Isaac was unharmed. Some rebels have been captured.
Four days later, Australian soldiers looking for Reinado are said to have destroyed around ten houses in the nearby village of Searema in a nightly search . The Australian Army denies the destruction and speaks of only minor damage, which soldiers later helped repair. Australian soldiers are also said to have brutally searched the village of Sasaneh . Furniture was damaged and residents were herded together with their hands up.
politics
The administrator of the administrative office is appointed by the central government in Dili. The administrative office administrator is Adão Mendes (as of April 2010 and 2015). In 2020 Amandio Assunção da Costa was appointed administrator.
economy
66% of the households in Same grow cassava, 65% corn, 52% coconuts, 54% vegetables, 44% coffee and 15% rice. In 2010 it was complained that the inhabitants of the Sucos Holarua, Grotu, Dai-Sua and Rotuto were constantly suffering from food shortages because their soils were insufficiently productive. Then there are storms and landslides that have already destroyed fields in Rotuto.
