Sasit

Sasit was founded in 1938, by Fascist Italy following the Second Italo-Ethiopian war.

On February 23, 2024, an Ethiopian drone struck a vehicle dropping off passengers near Sasit, leading to the deaths of 30 civilians, with 18 injured.

The historical sites in and around Sasit are Andit Girar, a place where Ethiopian soldiers founded their association to fight against Italian occupiers. The Engidwahsa cave is also an area of interest in Sasit. This limestone cave was a shelter for local patriots who were fighting the occupiers. There are historical churches including the well known Nechgedel Beata, Dagmawi Tsion St. Mary's church and other monasteries.
