Check it man .it is not emptyPoor guy, why are you adding empty sections of outskirts of Jigjiga. Jigjiga is half of Burco if not less, Jigjiga isn't even Somali city anymore the habish are majority in Jigjiga.
Btw Balbala and Djibouti are two different cities, Balbala is a city with mainly slums, it's close to Djibouti city doesn't mean it's part of it. Just like Khartoum and omdurman or Leeds and Bradford.

What about this .the western outskirts of Hargeisa .l was honestly tracing even the small scattered settlements in the periphery of every town .Don't live in denial .go and build the two tiny HJ cities(Caynabo and Ceelafweyn) instead of disputing the obvious factCheck it man .it is not emptyPoor guy, why are you adding empty sections of outskirts of Jigjiga.

Thanks you proved me right, it's totally empty. Put your glasses man.
Which part do Oromo and Somali settle in DireDawa ?btw l measured it .it is densely populated but not wider in area sq. milesWrong. Balbala is a neighborhood of Djibouti. Djibouti has absorbed Balbala and it is part of Djibouti city municipality.
All these cities are dwarfed by Dira Dhabe with an area of 1,000 square kilometers. Even if half of it is Oromo, it is still pretty good size that we inhabit. Imagine a city of 500 square kilometers inhabited by Somalis of Dir ancestry. Say masha'Allah!
Here is info about Dira Dhabe. Come to think of it they added the district where the Gurgura, Dir live.Use your app and post it here. I was looking at an image that said it is 1,000 square kilometers. I will share it later.

That makes sense since Sitti, Jigjiga and Djibouti are all by and large on a northeasterly direction. Hafad Issa is a bit south of the airport.Which part do Oromo and Somali settle in DireDawa ?btw l measured it .it is densely populated but not wider in area sq. milesWrong.

Oromos and Somalis are in all neighborhoods. Hafad issa is Somali majority, and Laga Harre is Oromo Majority and the rest are Mixed. I’m from Qafira, there are Oromo, Harari, Amhara and Somalis there but majority Oromo. Depends on the neighborhood. Oromos are majority in the southern half while Somalis are to the north east.
Not entirely accurate as Laga Harre is inhabited by Gurguras, Str8 is adding Gurgura to the Oromo numbers. The Nole and other Afran Qallo inhabit the Gurgura neighbourhood because they intermarry.That makes sense since Sitti, Jigjiga and Djibouti are all by and large on a northeasterly direction. Hafad Issa is a bit south of the airport.

Oops! Nice catch.Not entirely accurate as Laga Harre is inhabited by Gurguras, Str8 is adding Gurgura to the Oromo numbers. The Nole inhabit the Gurgura neighbourhood becayse they intermarry.That makes sense since Sitti, Jigjiga and Djibouti are all by and large on a northeasterly direction.

The Gurgura inhabit Southern Dire Dawa and rural areas South of it but as they have friendly relations with the Afran Qallo confederation, Oromo speakers have traditionally flocked to their side of town as the Ciise keep it real. Nonetheless, you also have a lot of Habasha and other ethnicities in mixed neighbourhoods of the city.Oops!

Not including Gurguras. I don’t include them when I speak of the Oromos. When I include the southern area, I include them because the Kombulcha wordea borders dire to the south. This is the Noole homeland. All Noole sub clans are found in this area.That makes sense since Sitti, Jigjiga and Djibouti are all by and large on a northeasterly direction.

Don't be fooled Cuz.
Maybe the 1000km2 you're talking about is the total regional boundary of Dire Dabe which consist of the City proper and the non-urban woreda of the Gurgura even Nairobi and Adis Abeba are 696 km2 and 576 Km2 respectively which are NOT only the area of the city proper but also including the greater metropolitan area of the two cities.Here is info about Dira Dhabe. Come to think of it they added the district where the Gurgura, Dir live.

Just like the Garre ,Gurgura are Somalis who are heavily absorbed into the Oromo culture .No doubt Gurgura are Somali.Gurgura are Oromo. At least hybrid.
One day half claim Somali, next day Oromo. Half this half that.
They voted Oromia in the referendum and secured Dire Dawa’s charted city status.
