Debre Markos Gojjam Ethiopia

http://debremarkos.org
Debere Markos is one of the oldest city in Ethiopia located 300 KM North West of Addis Abba. Debre Markos (Markos) has been the capital of Gojjam province or state and now it is the capital of East Gojjam. Debre Markos is best known for producing Teff, Corn, honey, butter, onion, potato, barley, Bean, peace, sheep, goat, chicken, charcoal, and other agricultural products which are the main source for the central and northern part of Ethiopia. Debere Markos is a central resting area for travelers from Addis Ababa to Bahir Dar or Gonder. Also Deber Markos is best known producing Ethiopian home made beer Tala, home made liquor Araque and the famous Honey Wine or Tej. The food and drink in Deber Markos is fresh and natural, in Westener Lingo it is called "Organic Food". Long time ago Markos was one of the cheapest place to live. It was named the "Feeding Basket" of Ethiopia. Now, because of whole sellers and merchants from big cities and neighboring countries and states jacked the price too high. Locals are blaming the outsiders for making the city more expensive. About 90% Debre Markos residences are christians. The name Debre Markos derived from the biggest church in town called St. Marcos or Debre Markos. The church believed to host more than 44 saints. Abima Mariam (Abima ST Mary) Endimata Eyesu (Endimata Jusus) Kidane Mihret, Abun Sefer,Kahin Sefer, Shew Ber, Sindegom, Ferse Bet, Dibza, Gimija Bet, Yebbo, Kebi, Daligaw, Weoka, Police Camp, Chemoga, Yeraba, Gim Wiha, Kidamin, Mota Sefer, Weseta, Witren, and several others are the names of neighborhoods in the town.
Also Debere Markos is the breading ground for Ethiopian intellectuals, writes artist and athletes. Namely Haddis Alemayeh the author of Fiket Eseke Mekabir, Efprame Tamiru the legendary Ethiopian Singer, Engidazer Nega the Ethiopian comedy Icon, and Drs, engineers and educators who are abroad and in the country. Unfortunately most of these native golden boys and girls are not leaving in Markos/Gojam rather they are living in the Capital or in excel for better life. Debere Markos is one of few Ethiopian cities who are growing by its own native people with out federal or foreign aid. All the building you see in this film are 100% pure local generated money. It is a result of hard work and sweet. Help your city help your country. Invest in your city and country. This video brought you by Markos Historical Society. 50 Lemons project

I was fortunate enough to see my home town DM after an absence of about 10 years. I felt pretty good about some construction developments here and there in the town, though the purpose of a majority of them is for a hotel industry. There is one very important aspect that made me itch though. There is not a single major manufacturing industry or major agricultural investment in the area. Not one. This fact makes me doubt about the sustainability of this "change/development" of DM.

I don't get it..... other than personal memories that someone might have about this place, what's so special about it? Where is the amazing architecture? Where is evidence of its history and culture? Where is the art? Where are the incredible gardens? The place is filthy, underdeveloped and an architectural nightmare. It's also clear that it is struggling economically.

So other than it's roots in ancient Ethopia, what so amazing?
