== History ==
Charles W. Gwynn wrote that he was detained at Gidami for a month in 1900, then the seat of ''Dejazmach'' Jote Talu, while making an official reconnaissance of the Ethiopia-Sudan border; ''Dejazmach'' Jote was absent from Gidami during his stay, but Gwynn later learned that Gidami "was distinguished for having stopped three European Expeditions in the course of a few years -- Bottego's, Mangin's, and my own."〔Gwynn, ("The Frontiers of Abyssinia: A Retrospect", ''Journal of the Royal African Society'' ), 36 (1937), pp. 155ff〕
By the early 1930s, Gidami was an important coffee market with two or three resident foreign traders. In 1938, the ''Guido'' described the town as a large village with many Amhara in an area populated by the Oromo, having a post office, telegraph and infirmary.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 23 January 2008)〕
On 18 October 2006, Gidami and Beica were the setting for clashes between Muslims and Protestant Christians, resulting in 9 deaths, including the death of two Protestant preachers, and over 100 injured. In addition, 21 churches, one mosque, and dozens of houses were burned, leaving over 400 people homeless.〔("Ethiopia: International Religious Freedom Report 2007" ) United States State Department website (accessed 22 May 2008)〕
