history

In 1907 Nai-Cau , Lord of Soro, succeeded in breaking away from the Liurai of Atsabe and building his own empire, whose borders in the east and south stretched to Manufahi .

In 1912, the rebellious Liurai Dom Boaventura attacked the Portuguese military post in Ainaro during the Manufahi rebellion , but was repulsed with the support of Nai-Cau. Nai-Cau, therefore, was called the Traitor-Liurai by the Timorese . Soro became one of the bases from which the Portuguese fought Manufahi.

Nai-Cau's nephew Aleixo Corte-Real (born as Nai-Sesu ), who fought against Boaventura in 1911/12, converted to Christianity . During the Second World War , Portuguese Timor was occupied by the Japanese from 1942 and was the scene of the Battle of Timor , in which Australian commandos and part of the population fought against the occupiers using guerrilla tactics . During the Maubisse rebellion on August 11th, the Anzti-Portuguese Colunas Negras killed a Portuguese official, but the colonial power and the Moradores allied with them were able to drive the rebels into the mountains. Dom Aleixo Corte-Real, nephew and successor of Nai-Cau as Liurai von Soro, sent his son with 350 men to take action against the Colunas Negras . From March 1943, the Japanese began air raids against Ainaro and 7,000 to 8,000 Colunas Negras invaded to fight anti-Japanese forces.

In May, Dom Aleixo and his people had to flee Soro and retreat to Hato-Udo, where they met Quei-Bere, the boss of Foho-Ai-Lico. Quei-Bere had already switched to the Japanese side. He offered Dom Aleixo protection and took him to Hato-Udo , where they arrived on May 5, 1943. 500 Colunas Negras and regular Japanese troops reached the village on the same day and surrounded Dom Aleixo. The warriors from Ainaro ran out of ammunition and had to surrender. Dom Aleixo, his family, Nai-Chico (head of Hato-Udo) and other men were arrested. Legend has it that he refused to recognize Japanese authority and refused to surrender the Portuguese flag he was hiding.

Dom Aleixo saw no chance to escape. According to Japanese reports, he said goodbye to his children, told them to protect their mother and face his death. Then he tried to kill the Japanese guard at the entrance. After a brief struggle, Dom Aleixo was stabbed in the chest with a sword. Nai-Chico was shot dead by another Japanese man. The children of Dom Aleixos also intervened in the kamof and perished in the process. In the end, 80 men from Ainaro were dead, only three remained alive. The women were put in charge of Quei-Bere. A Timorese named Siri-Buti cut off Dom Aleixo and Nai-Chico's heads according to the Timorese war tradition ( Funu ) and brought them to Betano . Portuguese sources state that Dom Aleixo and his family were executed.
