Oecussi-Ambeno

Oecussi-Ambeno (also Ocussi) is a province of East Timor. It is located on the western part of Timor island. It is detached from the rest of East Timor, and borders the sea and the Indonesian part of Timor. The capital of the province is Pante Makasar, also called Ocussi town.

It was in Pante Makasar that an Indonesian fifth column raised the Indonesian flag and took control of O-A on 8 December, 1975, a day after the Indonesian invasion of East Timor proper.
