The Berloi Waterfall (Шаблон:Lang-pt, Шаблон:Lang-tet) is a small waterfall in the municipality of Aileu, East Timor. It forms part of a minor tributary of the Comoro River.

Geography

The waterfall is located within the suco of Fatisi and the Laulara administrative post in the Aileu municipality, a short distance from Dili, the capital city.[1]Шаблон:Rp[2][3] The stream that passes over the waterfall is sometimes referred to as the Berloi River or the Berloi-Fatisi River,[3] and is a minor tributary of the Comoro River.[2][4]

From the base of the waterfall, the stream flows initially in a southwesterly direction for a short distance. It then turns northwest to mark the border between the municipalities of Aileu and Ermera for about Шаблон:Cvt, until it flows into the Comoro River about Шаблон:Cvt downstream of the village of Шаблон:Ill.[2][4]

History

On 19 August 1975, during the Шаблон:Ill, a member of Unetim, the Fretilin youth wing, killed a man who was being detained by Fretilin at the detention centre in Unmenlau, in the then sub-district of Laulara. His body was thrown into the stream near the waterfall. The following day, 20 August 1975, a group of eight men, who were being detained by Fretilin in Fatisi on suspicion of being spies for the Timorese Democratic Union (Шаблон:Lang-pt (UDT)), were taken outside. Five of them were killed at the stream, and the remaining three were killed near Fatisi.[3]

Ecology

The waterfall is a habitat, and has been a site for observation and recording, of both rare and abundant species of dragonfly.[1]
