Wara Jarso

Wara Jarso is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Shewa Zone, Wara Jarso is bordered on the south by Kuyu, on the west by the Muger River which separates it from the Misraq Welega Zone, on the north by the Abay River which separates it from the Amhara Region, on the northeast by the Jamma River which separates it from Dera, and on the east by Hidabu Abote. Towns in Wara Jarso include Filiklik, Gohatsion and Tullu Milki.

Wara Jarso is connected to Dejen in Amhara by the Abay Bridge, which also carries the Addis Ababa-Bahir Dar highway; before the bridge was erected, the Abay was crossed at the Shefartak ford (at 10° 5' N 38° 17' E). A new bridge, the Hidasie Bridge, was dedicated 10 September 2008 at the presence of senior government officials and other guests. Funded by the Japanese government at a cost of 319.3 Birr, the Hidasie Bridge is 303 meters long and part of the new Addis Ababa-Dejen road.

The 2007 national census reported a total population for this woreda of 141,426, of whom 70,787 were men and 70,639 were women; 10,531 or 7.45% of its population were urban dwellers. The majority of the inhabitants said they practised Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 93.55% of the population reporting they observed this belief, while 4.65% of the population were Protestant, and 1.46% of the population were Muslim.
