On December 7, 1975 at 6 a.m., heavy Indonesian landing craft landed at Ponta Tibar . This was part of the invasion that led to the occupation of East Timor. At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian transit camp for East Timorese in Tibar , who should be relocated by the occupiers for better control. In 1999, in the context of the independence referendum, there were bloody riots against pro-Indonesian militias against independence advocates .

In the course of the unrest in East Timor in 2006 , members of the East Timor’s Defense Forces fought with mutinous soldiers on May 24, 2006 near Tibar and Comoro. Four people died.
