The Inda Sillasie is a river of northern Ethiopia. It originates at the confluence of May Zegzeg and May Be'ati Rivers in the mountains of Dogu’a Tembien (1970 metres above sea level), and flows southward to Giba River which empties finally in the Tekezé River. Along its course, it first takes the name Rubaksa River, then Dabba Hadera River, and finally Inda Sillasie River.[2]
