November 2006, fighting broke out between the groups Colimau 2000 and Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate (PSHT). From Ermera municipality, they spread to Dili. Seven people died. The background is unclear, but is said to lie in a centuries-old conflict between some villages. It may also have been about controlling smuggling across the border into Indonesia, especially near the town of Maliana. A broader alliance of several groups quickly formed against the PSHT, including Korka (KORK) and 7–7.The reason given was that the PSHT is financed from Indonesia, but it is more likely that the PSHT had tried too aggressively to gain control over various areas and illegal activities there in the period before.

As a result, Prime Minister Xanana Gusmão ordered the closure of the martial arts clubs. After months of clashes between the two groups in Moris Foun (Dili), a new peace agreement was reached between PSHT and 7–7 on 1 December 2011. After 24 years of war, the inhabitants of East Timor still have problems finding their way in peace and resolving conflicts in a peaceful way. In addition, traditional Timorese society was also marked by constant fighting between the many small kingdoms, and there were also repeated uprisings against the Portuguese colonial rulers. Some gangs trace their roots back to the Portuguese colonial period, others to the Indonesian occupation, but many seem to have emerged afterwards. The influence of the country's history is reflected in different ways in the various groups. Some refer to the old traditions of Timor, others are a rallying point for the
