history

Rice fields east of the Seiçal River

At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp in Seiçal for East Timorese who were supposed to be relocated by the occupiers for better control.

On May 29, 1997, elections were held in which representatives of East Timor should be elected to the Indonesian parliament. Several attacks on the Indonesian occupying power and its supporters took place in the surrounding area. In Seiçal, the vote took place one day late on May 30 because the polling station had been attacked by unknown persons. It was Abinau Salay , an election worker and member of Pro-Indonesia militia injured with a machete. As a result, ten people were arrested.

In June 2013, several hundred houses were destroyed by floods.

politics

In the 2004/2005 elections , Luís Correia was elected Chefe de Suco. José Inacio Correia won the elections in 2009 and Agos Ferdinan de Carvalho won in 2016 .
