The Suco is located in the north of the Maubara administrative office, on the banks of the Sawu Sea . To the southwest is the Suco Gugleur and to the south and east of the Suco Maubaralissa . The Bahonu Vaviquinia flows along the border with Maubaralissa and finally flows into the Sawu Sea east of Maubara , at Ponta Sia Ilo . The Mantaro rises in the border area to Gugleur, follows the border, then turns west and, united with the Tikidur, comes back to the border as a marae until it reaches the Sawu Sea. Before the 2015 territorial reform, Vaviquinia had an area of ​​19.53 km². Now it is 14.12 km². The Suco gave areas on the Marae and east of the Bahonu to the neighbors, including the settlements Delesuvati and Vila .

Maubara, the main town of the administrative office, is the largest settlement in Sucos and is located in the northeast on the coast. A district on the banks of the Bahonu is Vavikinia . West of the Bahonu on the border with Maubaralissa are the villages of Pabalebu ( Pabaicbu ), Pametapu , Darulara and Nunuana . The places Morae and Raenaba are located near the Marae . In the center of sucos are the places Lebunicta and Lebumeta . The northern coastal road, one of the most important transport routes in the country, also runs along the coast of Vaviquinia. In Maubara there are two primary schools, a pre-secondary school, a police station and a community health center. Ships can anchor off Maubara.

In the Suco there are the seven Aldeias Darulara , Delesuvati , Lebumeta , Morae , Nunuana , Pametapu and Vila .

history

Fort Maubara

In 1667 the area of ​​today's administrative office came under the influence of the Netherlands , who built a fort in Maubara in 1756 . In the Treaty of Lisbon in 1859, the Dutch agreed to cede Maubara to the Portuguese as part of a major exchange of territory . The handover took place in April 1861. In 1869 the captain of the Portuguese corvette Sa de Bandeira Maubara described as a collection of several huts made of straw and palm leaves, one of which belonged to the commander of the local district. The loose stone fort, close to the seashore, was only armed with a single, rusty cannon at this point. In 1889 a customs post was established in Maubara.

In 1893 Maubara himself and Atabae revolted against the expansion of military and administrative control in Portugal. The Liurai attacked two Portuguese military posts in Dato and Vatuboro and tried to win the Dutch back as a protective power. As a result of the suppression of the uprising, cholera broke out in Maubara . In November the Liurai officially signed a written treaty with Portugal on Maubara's vassal status.

During the civil war between UDT and FRETILIN in 1975, the people of Vaviquinia fled to the Indonesian West Timor for fear of violence .

Shortly afterwards, Indonesia began to occupy East Timor, which had just declared itself independent. On December 25, Indonesian troops landed near Maubara, where civilians were massacred. In Maubara, FALINTIL founded the base de apoio Malehui, a resistance base that offered refuge for refugees from Maubara, Leimea-Craic , Railaco , Atsabe , Ainaro and Zumalai . The base was later destroyed by the Indonesians. At the end of 1979 there were so-called transit camps in which the occupiers interned East Timorese civilians, in Maubara and Lebumeta.

In 1999, pro-Indonesian militias ( Wanra ) tried to use force to influence the mood ahead of the August 30 independence referendum . One of the most feared Wanra in East Timor, the Besi Merah Putih (BMP), comes from the village of Maubara . They were primarily forcibly recruited in this sub-district and also had their headquarters here. Many people fled for fear of the forced recruitment. The BMP was already active from January 1999. She committed hundreds of crimes before the referendum and after the independence decision was announced. On January 19, the BMP attacked Maubara, whereupon many residents fled to Leotala .
