List Of Districts In The Somali Region

The subdivisions of Somali have been changed several times, often due to local clan groups claiming their own woreda,Tobias Hagmann: . In: ''Journal of Modern African Studies'' 43(4), 2005 (PDF), p. 12 and the boundary between the Somali and Oromia Regions is disputed, leading to ambiguity over the status of border areas. In February 2016, the DDSI parliament added two new zones (for a total of 11), new districts to each of the 9 previous zones, and several city administrations (additions marked below with ‡).
