Dubti (woreda)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dubti is one of the 29 woredas in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. On 4 February 2007, the Afar Regional Cabinet approved the division of this woreda, creating a new woreda out of the northern part, with its administrative center at Guluble Af.[1]

Part of the Administrative Zone 1, Dubti is bordered on the south by the Oromia Region, on the southwest by Mille, on the west by Chifra, on the northwest by Administrative Zone 4, on the north by the Administrative Zone 2, on the northeast by Elidar, on the east by Asayita, and on the southeast by Afambo. Towns in Dubti include Date Bahri, Dubti, Logya, Sardo and Semera.

The highest point in this woreda is Mount Manda Hararo (600 meters).

Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 87,197, of whom 36,281 were males and 50,916 were females; 24,236 or 27.79% of its population are urban dwellers, which is greater than the Zone average of 14.9%. Information is not available for the area of Dubti, so its density cannot be calculated.[2]
