Passabe, officially Passabe Administrative Post (Portuguese: Posto Administrativo de Passabe, Tetum: Postu administrativu Pásabe), is an administrative post (and was formerly a subdistrict) in the Oecusse municipality and Special Administrative Region (SAR) of East Timor, which is an exclave surrounded on three sides by Indonesian West Timor.[1][2] Its seat or administrative centre is the suco of Abani.[2] 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.
