Sululta is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. It was part of former Mulona Sululta woreda which was separated for Mulo and Sululta woredas. Part of the Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finfinne, Sululta is bordered on the south by the city of Addis Ababa, on the west by the Mulo and Mirab Shewa Zone, on the north by Semien Shewa Zone, and on the east by Bereh. Towns in Sululta include Chancho, Durba, Muger Sheleko, Rob Gebeya, Sululta and Segno Gebeya. This woreda is characterized by the Sululta plain, which is a wide, shallow valley with an elevation of 2500 meters above sea level, almost completely surrounded by mountains with numerous small rivers which drain into the Muger. The plain is swampy with some quite large areas of open water in the rainy season, but it reverts to grazing land during the dry months. The surrounding mountainsides were covered with forest dominated by ''Juniperus procera'', and the lower slopes supported groves of Acacia, but now most of the hillsides are covered with plantations of Eucalyptus with only the odd native tree remaining, except for the groves protected by the presence of a church.〔("Important Bird Area factsheet: Sululta plain, Ethiopia" ), BirdLife International website (accessed 2 September 2009)〕 == Demographics == The 2007 national census reported a total population for this woreda of 129,000, of whom 64,516 were men and 64,484 were women; 15,145 or 11.74% of its population were urban dwellers.
