Dedebit (Tigrinya: ደደቢት) is remote, lowland terrain in the north-western part of the Tigray region of Ethiopia, which has now become a small town. It is known for being the place where the Tigray People's Liberation Front, the armed movement that overthrew the Derg military dictatorship, was formed.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
