Ketema (formerly known as Mender 7) is a town in western Ethiopia. The name comes from the Amharic word ketema, meaning a fortified encampment; it is also a common personal name in Ethiopia. It is one of three towns located in the Pawe special woreda of the Benishangul-Gumuz Region.
Ketema was founded as one of the resettlement projects under the Derg in the years 1984–86, when it was known as Mender 7 (or "Left 7"), because the settlement was located on the left side of the Beles River).[1]
Ketema is located near the market of Deq, a local market which existed before the resettlement program and is frequented by the Agew and Gumuz peoples.[2]
Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, Ketema has an estimated total population of 3,262 of whom 1,540 are men and 1,722 are women.[3] According to the 1994 national census, its total population was 1,896 of whom 891 were men and 841 were women.
