Birbir River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Birbir River of southwestern Ethiopia is a tributary of the Baro River. It is politically important because its course defines part of the boundary between the Mirab Welega and Illubabor Zones of the Oromia Region.
Richard Pankhurst notes that the Birbir is important for discovery in 1904 of deposits of platinum along its course.[1]
