Dawuntna Delant
Dawuntna Delant ("Dewunt and Delant") was one of the 105 woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Wollo Zone, Dawuntna Delant was bordered on the south by the Checheho River which separated it from the Debub Wollo Zone, on the west by the Debub Gondar Zone, on the north by Wadla, and on the east by Guba Lafto. The deep valley of the Zhit'a river, which runs through Wadla and along part of the northern border, effectively isolates much of Dawuntna Delant from the rest of Semien Wollo.〔Svein Ege and Yigremew Adal, (''Farming assets in North Wälo: statistics, maps and impressions from a travel to North Wälo, October 2000''. ) Trondheim, NTNU, 2002. (accessed 9 May 2009)〕 This woreda was named after two historical districts, Dawunt to the east and Delanta to the west. The major town in Dawuntna Delant was Wegeltena. This woreda was separated for Dawunt and Delanta woredas.
== Overview ==
The altitude of this woreda ranges from 700 to 3900 meters above sea level.〔Svein Ege, ("North Wälo 1:100,000. Topographic and administrative map of North Wälo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia" ). Trondheim, NTNU, 2002〕 The eastern part has been described as "a mass of columnar basalt between the rivers Jitta and Beshilo, with its surface upwards of 9000 feet above the level of the sea."〔Clements Markham, ("Geographical Results of the Abyssinian Expedition", ''Journal of the Royal Geographical Society'' ), 38 (1868), pp. 43f〕 Notable peaks include Amba Koheit, Amba Nebiet, and Mount Constantina. Dawuntna Delant, as well as the other seven rural woredas of this Zone, has been grouped amongst the 48 woredas identified as the most drought prone and food insecure in the Amhara Region.〔Seid Yassin, ("Small-Scale Irrigation and Household Food Security: A Case Study of Three Irrigation Schemes in Gubalafto Woreda of North Wollo Zone, Amhara Region" ), Master's Thesis, Graduate School of the University of Addis Ababa (June 2002), p. 35〕
Landmarks in this woreda include the church of Yaddiba Maryam, notable for its wall paintings that David Buxton has dated to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries "before the massive impact of external influences that occurred in the seventeenth century." Subjects depicted in these paintings include the Biblical Kings David with a harp and Solomon with a sword, and the Christian martyr Mammes "riding a rather comical lion."〔Buxton, ''The Abyssinians'' (New York: Praeger, 1970), pp. 145f〕
