Abstract
The study reconstructs the history of Dangur Warada from 1905-1991. Therefore, this study aims to fill
the gap that exists on the history of this Warada. My study began in 1905, that is because beginning
from this year onwards the study area became an important center for trade, hunting and slavery along
both sides of the Agiiwmedir ofGoJiam on one side and the Ethio-Sudan border on the other. Thejinal
date 1991,on the other hand, has been chosen because it marked the end of the military regime. Attempt
has been made to synthesize of the comprehensive history of the Warada after liberation period.
Postwar period was the turning point in the history of the area. Among other things, the period
witnessed the establishment of the Warada and its political center, the restoration of the imperial rule,
new administrative structures and developments and introduction of different infrastructures. The
relation of the central government with the Gumuz of Dangur Warada has been characterized by
peacefol interactions and integration.
The study also tried to notice developments that the Warada had experienced during the Derg
regime. The new regime introduced several polices and took measures at national level which
has its own repercussions and consequences in the socio-economic and political life of the
People of the Warada. Such issues are the major areas of emphasis for my study. Finally, the
study has tried to show issues in the infrastructural developments in the Warada, a periphery in
relation to the Ethiopian state, during the 1mperial and the Darg regime.
