This is one of the most beautiful fishing villages in Flores
island, called Wuring village, located around 6 km from the city
of Maumere. The village has the size of 8 km2 with 4.717
inhabitants (2012). From the time of the Dom Thomas Ximenes Da
Silva, the King of Sikka, the Bajo Moslem people from Celebes
are permitted to live in the Sikka region. They always live in
peace and harmony with the local people from Sikka who mostly
are Christians. The Bajo people mostly live as skilled sailors
and fishermen catching sea cucumbers, sardines, squids and
octopus. In the tsunami following the earthquake of 7,8 Richter
scale that occurred in Flores on December 12, 1992; the 3 meter
high sea water swept the village of Wuring. Around 2.100 people
died in all Flores, including 87 people in the Wuring village.
Around 26 people stayed in their boats during tsunami and they
all lived. Many more people stayed in the mosque and all people
in the mosque were safe too. |
