After being devastated and losing many of its residents due to sectarian riots at the beginning of the 21st century, this town is starting to improve itself again.

This city was founded on the traditional land of the Amahai village, which was previously known as Dataran Nama (Nama Plains) which was the beginning of the new history of Seram (Nusa Ina) after its weakening the power of Republic of South Maluku leadership of Chris Soumokil as well as a form of developing Maluku after the independence of the Republic of Indonesia.

The town comprises the five urban villages or kelurahan (with their 2020 census populations) of Ampera (6,385), Lesane (4,493), Letwaru (6,412), Namaelo (15,280), and Namasina (3,863).

The already-built mistrust and resentment exacerbated the situation, and clashes occasionally occurred despite the signing of the Malino peace agreement in 2002.

However, after 2002, Masohi, like many other areas in Maluku, began to see improvement, although sporadic incidents of sectarian violence continued to occur for several years to come.

Recovery in Masohi will take time, with reconciliation efforts undertaken by community, religious and government leaders to heal the deep wounds caused by the conflict.
