Dinder

The Dinder River is a Blue Nile tributary. It runs for 480 kilometers in Ethiopia and Sudan. The Tekezé or Täkkäze River, also known as the Takkaze River in Ethiopia, is a major river. For portion of its route, it forms part of Ethiopia's westernmost border with Eritrea. The Setit is the name of the river in Eritrea, western Ethiopia, and eastern Sudan. According to Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency data, the Tekezé River is 608 kilometers long. With depths of almost 2000 meters in some places, the canyon it has carved out is the deepest in Africa and one of the deepest in the world.

The Sudanese Dinder National Park, which runs south of the river, is named after it. This watershed was once home to the endangered painted hunting dog, Lycaon pictus; however, the canid is now assumed to be extinct in the area due to human population growth and a lack of conservation attention.
