Administrative post of Passabe with Passabe city and Passabe river
Passabe is an administrative post of the Oecusse District of East Timor, which is an exclave surrounded on three sides by Indonesian West Timor. In the 2004 census it had a population of 7,531 people in 1,153 households. Passabe is a small village (sulo) in the administrative post, very near the Indonesian border. It was the site of a massacre of East Timorese by pro-Indonesia militias in the follow-up to the 1999 referendum for East Timor's independence.
