Abstract:
This thesis attempts to reconstruct the History of Enäbsé Sar Meder Wäräda from 1941 to
1991.It begins by revealing different developments and settlement of people on the district before
the Italian occupation. Besides this, the study tried to assess the patriotic resistance of the region
against the Italian invasion.
In the post-liberation period of the imperial regime, the government took measure in
restructuring the process of administrative units. In connection with the declaration of land and
taxation reforms with mal administration led to open protest of peasantsof the wäräda against
the government. Moreover, the Derg government effectively implemented anti-illiteracy
campaign and land distributon programs. Gradually, the military government lost acceptance
due to the implementation of some of his unpopular policies by force. The response of officials
for this was to take coercive measures against innocent Märtulä Mariam town dwellers and its
surroundings. Finally, development of urban centers, infrastructural progress, religious
institutions, and conflict resolution mechanism in the wäräda were incorporated.
In conducting this thesis, primary and secondary sources are utilized. Firstly, secondary sources
from the library of Debre Markos University . This paperalso deeply assessed archival sources
from Haddis Alämayähu archival center of Debre Markos University and Ethiopian National
Archival and Library Agency.In addition, interviews took place through selecting informants in
different parts of the study area. The collected data were systematically organized, analized and
interpreted so as to document a history of Enäbsé sar meder wäräda from 1941 to 1991
