geography
Uato-Lari is located in the south-east of Timor in the Suco Matahoi , about 26 km as the crow flies east of the municipal capital Viqueque and about 92 km southeast of the state capital Dili at an altitude of 502 m . Uato-Lari has a primary school, a pre-secondary school, a secondary school, a police station, a helipad and a community health center.
history
In 1976 the region was a retreat for the FALINTIL , who fought against the Indonesian invaders. In Uato-Lari she founded a base de apoio , a resistance base that offered refuge for refugees from Ossu, Viqueque, Uato-Lari and Uatucarbau. The base was later destroyed by the Indonesians.
Today's Uato-Lari became the administrative center during the Indonesian occupation. Before that it was Uato-Lari (Leten) at Suco Babulo .
After the last FALINTIL resistance base at Matebian was destroyed in November 1978, those who surrendered to the Indonesian occupiers were interned in Uato-Lari. People died here every day. Two weeks later, the internees were transferred to Viqueque on foot or by truck. There were further resettlement camps in Afaloicai (Suco Babulo) and Vessoru at the end of 1979 . Between November 1978 and March 1979 at least 140 people were murdered or disappeared while interned in Uato-Lari. Most of the executions took place in March / April 1979 at various locations in Uato-Lari. Due to the internees and refugees, the number of Uato-Lari residents increased between 1970 and 1980 from Uatu-Lari 13,911 to 14,683 by 5.5%. In 1981 several hundred families from Uato-Lari and other parts of Viqueques were deported to Atauro . Many of them died there until the Red Cross began providing aid in 1982. In 1985/86 the deportees were allowed to return to Timor .
After the 2012 presidential elections in East Timor , a house in Uato-Lari was burned down. On the 10th Independence Day, May 20th, the revelers were ambushed. A 20 year old was killed and seven houses burned down. Four suspects were arrested. After the parliamentary elections in 2012 , riots broke out in Dili, in which a student from Uato-Lari was shot and killed by a police officer. When his body was brought back home, the Uato-Lari police station was attacked and four police cars were burned.
