Worabe is a town in south-central Ethiopia
. Official sources locate this town in the Gurage Zone
of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR), although it is reported that at a referendum in 2000 the Silt'e people
unanimously voted to form their own Zone, Silt'e, which includes Worabe. The town has a latitude and longitude of 8°1′N 38°20′E with an elevation of 2113 meters above sea level.
According to the SNNPR's Bureau of Finance and Economic Development, Worable's amenities include digital telephone access, postal service, and 24-hour electrical service.
The first recorded mention of Worabe dates to 1583/1584, during the reign of Emperor Sarsa Dengel
, when members of the Oromo people
arrived in the area and began to besiege Worabe and Fanfara.
A German ethnographic expedition visited this town in April 1935.
[When the Allied forces fire on him] Why are you always messing with me. It's got to be a joke!
[Convincing Shimizu not to kill himself] We can die here, or we can continue fighting. Which would better serve the emperor?
[Letter to his wife] We soldiers dig. We dig all day. This is the hole that we will fight and die in. Am I digging my own grave?
[About Nishi's romancing skills] There are rumors about his womanizing...But there are no women left to woo.
[In response to a soldier saying death is honorable] Kashiwara died of honorable dysentery.
There is no use for a dead soldier.
Damn this island! The Americans can have it.
Do what is right because it is right.
If you want my honest opinion, General, the best thing to do would be to sink this island to the bottom of the sea.
I'm tired of sharing this cave with all of you, I'm a one-man show from now on.
