Jan Amora
Jan Amora (Ge'ez: ጃን አሞራ ''jān āmōrā'', Amharic: "Royal eagle") is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Gondar Zone, Jan Amora is bordered on the south by Misraq Belessa, on the southwest by Wegera, on the west by Debarq, on the north by Addi Arkay and Tselemt, on the east by Beyeda, and on the southeast by Wag Hemra Zone. The administrative center of Jan Amora is Mekane Berhan.
== Overview ==
The place name Jan Amora appears in the ''Futuh al-Habasha'' and in an 18th-century legal text, but it is unclear if they refer to the place that became this woreda; Richard Pankhurst believes that this "Jan Amora" was located in Tigray.〔Shihab ad-Din Ahmad bin 'Abd al-Qader, ''Futuh al-Habasa: The conquest of Ethiopia'', translated by Paul Lester Stenhouse with annotations by Richard Pankhurst (Hollywood: Tsehai, 2003), p. 204 and note.〕 There was also a military formation known as "Jan Amora" which was under the command of Emperor Lebna Dengel's uncle Azaj Fanoel.
The Jan Amora region today covers the Semien Mountains and a portion of their southern slopes, which makes access to this woreda difficult. A road linking Jan Amora and Debarq, 60 kilometers in length, was under construction in May 1994.〔Hans Spiess, ("Field Trip Report to North and South Gondar Zones of Region 3 (Amhara)" ) UNDP-EUE Report, May 1994 accessed 22 January 2009). 32 kilometers had been completed at the time Spiess wrote.〕 Due to its inaccessibility and the lack of the most basic infrastructure, in 1999 the Regional government classified Addi Arkay as one of its 47 drought-prone and food-insecure woredas. To alleviate this situation, the Amhara Credit and Saving Institution SC, a micro-finance institution, opened an office in the woreda in the late 1990s.〔("Underdeveloped, Drought Prone, Food Insecure: reflections on living conditions in parts of the Simien Mountains" ) UNDP-EUE Report October 1999 (accessed 15 May 2009)〕 The Semien Mountains cover most of the northern part of this woreda, as well as the Semien Mountains National Park.
