Dela or Dala is a town in southern Tigray, Ethiopia. It is one of the larger towns in the Alaje district. Historically, Dela was the administrative and capital city of Bora-Selewa woreda, which was part of Enderta province, when Enderta was an independent province as well as an awraja as recent as the late 1990s. [1] [2] [ failed verification ]
Della was where the Italian aggression dominance was defeated basically at the nearby mountain known as "Emba Alaje" during the second invasion in 1941. It was also the last hiding place of King "Lij Eyasu", niece of Emperor II Minilik, until his own servant leaked and exposed him to Haile Selassie during the first quarter of the 20th century. It is a place where the previous dictatorial military regime of Ethiopia, Derg, never fully controlled. In line with that opportunity, a number of residents have been part of the struggle to overthrow the regime with Ethiopian Peoples Democratic Front (EPRDF).[ citation needed ]

Amda Seyon I was Emperor of Ethiopia, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. According to the British expert on Ethiopia, Edward Ullendorff, "Amde Tseyon was one of the most outstanding Ethiopian kings of any age and a singular figure dominating the Horn of Africa in the fourteenth century." His conquests of Muslim borderlands greatly expanded Ethiopian territory and power in the region, maintained for centuries after his death. Amda Seyon asserted the strength of the newly (1270) installed Solomonic dynasty and therefore legitimized it. These expansions further provided for the spread of Christianity to frontier areas, sparking a long era of proselytization, Christianization, and integration of previously peripheral areas.
