Atsbi Wenberta
Atsbi Wemberta (Ge'ez: ኣጽቢ ወምበርታ)(or Atsbi Ge'ez: ኣጽቢ) is one of the woredas in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. Located in the Misraqawi Zone at the eastern edge of the Ethiopian highlands, Atsbi Wenberta is bordered on the south by the Debub Misraqawi (Southeastern) Zone, on the west by Kilte Awulaelo, on the north by Saesi Tsaedaemba, and on the east by the Afar Region. The administrative center of this woreda is Atsbi (officially Atsbi Endaselassie Ge'ez: ኣጽቢ እንዳስላሴ); other towns in Atsbi Wenberta include Haik Mesahil, Atsebi Dera, Kelisha Emni and Habes. The woreda is administratively divided in to 18 Tabiyas (Kebelles).
== Overview ==
The elevation of this woreda varies from 918 to 3069 meters above sea level.〔("Pilot Learning Weredas: Atsi Wenberta" ) (October 2004), IPMS Information Resources Portal - Ethiopia, pp. 5-16. (accessed 3 March 2009)〕 Rivers in Atsi Wenberta are seasonal and flow only during the rainy season. There is no lake but there are small streams and ponds. The soil is seriously degraded, and there is no forest or woodland except in a few areas along the escarpment facing the Afar Region where scattered forest is visible. Irrigation is used in the few places where it is possible; the suitable sites are rare. On
many slopes the soil is so highly eroded that even when rain falls, it can retain only a small amount of moisture.〔("Ethiopian Village Studies: Harresaw, Atsbi Woreda, Tigray" ), p. 1 Centre for the Study of African Economies website (accessed 10 September 2009)〕 Nine of the 16 peasant associations in Atsbi Wenberta have an elevation of 2600 meters or higher, and are planted in barley, wheat, pulses like faba beans, and small ruminants like sheep are raised. The other seven peasant associations have an elevation below 2600 meters and are planted in teff, wheat, and barley, and both livestock and apiculture are cultivated; 6729 bee colonies are reported in this woreda. A major cash crop are faba beans, and Atsi Wenbarta is an important supplier of sheep and goats for meat to the nearby towns of Wukro, Adigrat, and the city of Mekelle.〔("Pilot Learning Weredas: Atsi Wenberta" ) (October 2004), IPMS Information Resources Portal - Ethiopia, pp. 5-16. (accessed 3 March 2009)〕
There are several local monolithic churches in this woreda, which include Mikael Barka, and Mikael Imba.〔Described in Philip Briggs, ''Ethiopia: The Bradt Travel Guide'', 3rd edition (Chalfont St Peters: Bradt, 2002), p. 260-262.〕 There are also several churches which were originally built in Aksumite times; these include Mikael Debre Selam and Zarema Giyorgis located northwest of Atsbi.〔Described in David W. Phillipson, ''Ancient Churches of Ethiopia'' (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2009), pp. 68-71, 73f〕 One micro-finance institution operates in Atsbi Wenberta, the Dedebit Credit and Saving Institution SC, with two sub-branches in Atsbi which report to the office in Wukro. There are 16 multipurpose cooperatives in this woreda, one for each kebele. However, these cooperatives have faced a number of problems, which include a failure to compete successfully with local private traders and the discovery after a 2004 audit of all of the cooperatives that 47,000 Birr was missing.〔
