On 20 November 1772, colonial forces captured Fort Buku after finding a concealed route through the marsh. The Zwarte Jagers, known as Redi Musu, helped the expedition; they were enslaved men offered freedom and land in return for military service. The assault destroyed the settlement, gardens, and food stores. Many Aluku escaped and continued resisting. Their survival and strategic skill challenge colonial accounts that framed the campaign as simple restoration of order.
