Nicolau Lobato: A Timorese Hero in Another Country
Nicolau Lobato is a national hero who dedicated his life to the national liberty of Timor-Leste, and who fought to guarantee peace and calm for his people from colonialism. With these heroic principles, Nicolau Lobato led the struggle against Indonesia’s occupation that began with the invasion of Timor-Leste on December 7th, 1975. Ultimately, he was shot and killed in a crossfire against Indonesian forces in Mindelo, between Maubisi, Turiscai and Manufahi, on December 31st, 1978.
Nicolau Lobato is the hero and founder of this nation. After Independence, the state honored his death by erecting statues and christening the international airport of Timor-Leste with his name. Every 31st of December, Timor-Leste celebrates his death day. Many speeches and promises have been made by national leaders over the years to look for his remains and the remains of other Timorese rebels that have yet to be found. Thus far, those promises have been meaningless.

In the beginning of 2015, the government created a policy of remembrance called “Taking off of the Black” (“Dez-lutu Nasional”) that has led to both detriments and benefits in Timorese society. Many critics have questioned how the government can create such a policy as “Dez-lutu Nasional” while the remains of so many heroes who died for national liberty are scattered across the nation, yet to be found. Included among those missing from the days of occupation is Nicolau Lobato, whose body is suspected to be held outside the country. Who has pushed for this “Dez-lutu Nasional” policy? Thus far, there has been no appropriate response from government leaders to the people.
December 31st marks the final day of “Dez-lutu Nasional” this year. The death day of Nicolau Lobato is marked with citizens celebrating the ‘taking off of the black’ (“Dez-lutu” or “Kore-metan”), signifying an end to the county’s period of mourning and a transition to celebration, particularly the families of the dead.

Does the government expect celebrations from the families of those whose bodies have yet to be recovered? What is the government’s position on recovering the body of Nicolau Lobato, which is suspected to still be held in another country?
Concerns and reservations from the public may be considered simply as human expression for their heroes who died in the name of national independence. Power and all decisions are in the hands of the government and state of Timor-Leste, but the time has come for the government to track down and recollect the remains of these heroes, including the body of Nicolau Lobato.

Nicolau Lobato’s heroics are quite similar to that of Ernesto Che Guevara.

Their legacies largely differ along a single point: when Che Guevara was killed abroad, his body was then returned to his nation by the country and authoritarian regime he had fought against. But why has Nicolau Lobato, who died for his own nation and defended his people, not yet be reclaimed by the state? A civilized country is a nation that honors and dignifies its heroes—not only by erecting a monument, providing pensions and celebrating his death day, but by securing his remains and laying a hero to rest in a dignified place.
Therefore, Fundasaun Mahein recommends that:
1. The Government of Timor-Leste continue key policy efforts through diplomatic channels with Indonesia to secure the remains of the hero Nicolau Lobato and return them to the people of Timor-Leste.
2. The Government of Indonesia hand over the remains of the hero Nicolau Lobato to the people of Timor-Leste in accordance with the CAVR report established by the two countries in 2001.
