Dejen (woreda)
Dejen is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. This woreda is named after the traditional district it lies in, Dejen, which is best known as where Admas Mogasa, the widow of Emperor Menas, raised the future Emperor Susenyos and instructed him in "the doctrine of the holy books."〔G.W.B. Huntingford, ''Historical Geography of Ethiopia'' (London: British Academy, 1989), pp. 151f〕 Part of the Misraq Gojjam Zone, Dejen is bordered on the south by the Abay River which separates it from the Oromia Region, on the west by Awabel, on the northwest by Debay Telatgen, on the north by Enemay, and on the east by Shebel Berenta. The major town in Dejen is Dejen.
== Overview ==
Dejen is connected to Wara Jarso in Oromia by the Abay Bridge, which also carries the Addis Ababa-Bahir Dar highway. Before this bridge was erected, the Abay was crossed at the Shefartak ford (at 10° 5' N 38° 17' E). A new bridge, the Hidasie Bridge, was dedicated 10 September 2008 at the presence of senior government officials and other guests. Funded by the Japanese government at a cost of 319.3 Birr, the Hidasie Bridge is 303 meters long and part of the new Addis Ababa-Dejen road.〔("'Hidasie Bridge' opens for traffic: ERA" ), Ethiopian News Agency (accessed 29 April 2009)〕 Experts foresee that improvements like the new bridge will allow drivers to double their speed to 60 kilometers per hour, and increase the volume of vehicles from the current 360 a day to 729 in six years. The new bridge sits alongside the older one over the Abay which had been built by the Italian government as part of their war reparations for their occupation of Ethiopia during World War II, and was about 60 years old when the new one was opened.〔("Ethiopia: Japanese Kajima Close to Bridging Gap on Abay" ), reprinted from ''Addis Fortune'', 5 August 2008 (accessed 14 August 2009)〕
On 21 August 2008, residents of the town of Dejen gathered to protest the delay by local officials' over a decision on the residents' application for use of nearby farmland. Local police and militia surrounded the demonstrators, and beat dozens; a few protesters had injuries requiring hospitalization. No legal action was taken against the perpetrators.〔("2008 Human Rights Reports- Ethiopia" ) (Ethiopian Guardian; PDF file) (accessed 9 March 2009)〕
