Silte (also transliterated
Silti) is one of the
woredas in the
Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region of
Ethiopia. It is named after a subgroup of the
Silt'e people, whose homeland includes this woreda. Formerly part of the
Gurage Zone, after a referendum held between 18 and 26 April 2001, this woreda became part of the
Silt'e Zone. This woreda is bordered on the south by
Lanfro and
Dalocha, on the southwest by
Wulbareg, on the west by
Alicho Werero, on the north by the
Gurage Zone, and on the east by the
Oromia Region. The administrative center of this woreda is
Kibet; other towns in Silte include Alkaso, and
Worabe. Southwestern part of this woreda was added to Wulbareg woreda.
