Enjebara

Enjebara lies in the highland country of the Awi Agaw, south of Lake Tana. The Agaw speak languages of the Cushitic family and have long inhabited the northern and central Ethiopian plateau. Awi traditions include horsemanship, and their riders were remembered in struggles against the kings of Gondar. The highlands around Enjebara form part of the older Agawmeder country, whose communities retained their own language alongside the expanding Ethiopian kingdom.
