Naeder Adet

Part of the Maekelay Zone, Naeder Adet is bordered on the south by the Wari River which separates it from Kola Tembien, on the west by Semien Mi'irabawi (North Western) Zone, on the northwest by Tahtay Maychew, on the northeast by La'ilay Maychew, and on the east by Werie Lehe.

The administrative center of this woreda is Semema; other towns in Naeder Adet include Edaga Selus and Mahbere Dego.

[1] Naeder is mentioned in a fifteenth-century land charter of Emperor Zara Yaqob, and also occasionally over the centuries afterwards.

The majority of the inhabitants said they practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 98.61% reporting that as their religion, while 1.39% of the population were Muslim.
