history
Between 1936 and 1941 the Dutchman Hofman mined manganese ore in Uatucarbau.
When the Japanese occupied the region in 1943, the colonial administration was still young and Christianization was not yet far advanced. Uatucarbau suffered from the consequences of the fighting between the Japanese army and Australian guerrilla units in the mountain and hill country. The Japanese demanded support from local leaders and forced entire villages to build roads, for example. Others supported the Allied soldiers, so that animosities arose between the clans that can still be felt decades later. After the end of the war, the Portuguese severely punished “collaboration” with the Japanese, which led to resentment against the colonial administration among some local nobles.
In the 1950s Uatucarbau belonged to the Lautém district . Only later did the administrative office become part of Viqueque.
In Afaloicai and Irabin Letarea (Irabin de Baixo) there were Indonesian camps for East Timorese who were to be relocated by the occupiers for better control.
In March 2010, several houses in what was then the sub-district were set on fire. The perpetrators are said to have dressed up as ninjas . Similar incidents had only occurred in Bobonaro and Cova Lima in the previous weeks , whereupon the army and police launched a major action. Matias da Silva de Jesus (Chefe de Suco from Loi Ulo) and Lino Martins (Chefe de Suco from Irabin de Cima) called for a security post in their sucos to better protect the residents in the north of the sub-district. The only police station in the sub-district is in the administrative center of Uatucarbau on the coast. The Secretary of State for Security Francisco Guterres said, however, that the ninjas in Uatucarbau were just rumors. Nevertheless, a police post should now be created in Afaloicai.
politics
The administrator of the administrative office is appointed by the central government in Dili. Already in 2010 this was Joaquim Fernandes Soares (status: 2015).
Francisco Pinto , the Liurai of Uatucarbau, is General Secretary of the Partido do Povo de Timor (PPT).
