Why is it that in Ethiopia the Somali regional State is the Only one out of all Ethnic based Regional States Authorities that have the affix 'Ethiopian' to its peoples ethnicity name and its official name?
I mean why "Dawlad Dagmeedka Somaalida Itoobiya" (Somali-Ethiopian Regional Authority) and not simply DAWLAD DAGMEEDKA SOOMAALIDA (Somali Regional Authority)
The Afar Peoples State is simply called the Afar Regional state (though the ethnic Afars are natives and have territories that spread over in 3 different countries).
The Tigrey are spread over 2 countries and yet the Tigrey regional state authority is not called Ethio-Tigreys Regional State. As are the Oromo (natives in Ethiopia as well as Kenya) but you will never hear such thing as Oromo-Ethiopians or Oromo-Ethiopian regional State.
I hope you understood my question.
P.s Please note that the Somalis are NOT the only ethnic group who are natives and reside in more than one country!
