Glad to see all Somalis agree (Hawiye, Isaaq and Darood) that dire dawa belongs to Somalis as also many other degaans such as Harari and etc,etc!damn straight...also consider dira dawa somalilands
now somalis make up only 25% of the population of the urban area, diredawa city and surrounding urban area.
but before 1978 they made up half the population, Oromo 40% and amhara 10%
today it is an oromo city and there are as many amhara as somalis.
