Tunbaba in north Timor |
Tunbaba was a traditional empire in West Timor . It lies east of the East Timorese exclave Oe-Cusse Ambeno . The main town was Kaenbaun .
In 1899 there were armed clashes between the locals from the Portuguese Oe-Cusse Amben and those from the Dutch Tunbaba, where there were still rich deposits of sandalwood . The final demarcation between the colonial powers Portugal and the Netherlands took place with the treaties of 1904 and 1916.
Today the area belongs to the Indonesian district of East Miomaffo in the administrative district ( Kabupaten ) of North Central Timor .
In 1960, in Taekas (Taikas), a small village in Tunbaba, Dominikus Saku was born, the bishop of Atambua .
