SOUTH ETHIOPIA

KONSO>>Dekatu

As you go from Konso to Jinka , at about 2 Kms , on the right side of the Monday/Thursday market, you will see Dekatu . Since it still functions as a self-standing traditional society, the village of Dekatu can be regarded to be a separate entity. Enclosed within Dekatu's village walls are 21 sub-communities, each of which has its own mora (community house), making this one of the largest traditional villages anywhere in Konso. Also, the village is known to host one of the regions best waka makers.
