Kemekem
Kemekem (also known as Libo Kemekem) is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Debub Gondar Zone, Kemekem is bordered on the south by the Reb which separates it from Fogera, on the west by Lake Tana, on the north by the Semien Gondar Zone, and on the east by Ebenat. The administrative center is Addis Zemen; other towns include Amba Meda and Yifag.
Rivers in this woreda include the Arno and the Reb, which drain into Lake Tana. A survey of the land in this woreda shows that 51% is arable or cultivable, 8.3% pasture, 5.9% forest or shrubland, 17.98% covered with water, and the remaining 17.03% is considered degraded or other. Teff, corn, sorghum, cotton and sesame are important cash crops.〔(Ethiopia-Sudan Power Systems Interconnection Project, ESIA Final Report ), p. 55 (Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation website) This was based on information provided by the woreda in 2006.〕
==History==
The village of Bura, outside of Addis Zemen, was struck by an outbreak of Kala Azar in May 2005, which infected 230 people there.〔("Focus on Ethiopia, June 2005" ), UN-OCHA (accessed 25 February 2009)〕
The woreda of Kemekem was heavily affected by the flash floods in Ethiopia that started 6 September and receded by 26 September 2006. The heavy rain caused Lake Tana to overflow its banks, making thousands of people homeless. "Thousands of heads of cattle, whole silos of grain, and significant tracts of grazing and farmland have been washed away," according to IRIN.〔(Ethiopia: Finding shelter away from flooding ); (Ethiopia: Flood waters receding ), both accessed 17 October 2006 (IRIN)〕
