Dire Dawa

Dire Dawa (Amharic: ????????????, Oromo: Dirree Dhawaa, lit.???'Place of Remedy'; Somali: Diridhaba, meaning "where Dir hit his spear into the ground" or "The true Dir", Arabic: ???????? ????????,) is a city in eastern Ethiopia near the Oromia and Somali Region border and one of two chartered cities in Ethiopia (the other being Addis Ababa, the capital). Dire Dawa alongside present-day Sitti Zone were apart of the Dire Dawa autonomous region stipulated in the 1987 Ethiopian Constitution until 1993 when it was split by the federal government into a separately administered chartered city. This was due to the ongoing clashes between the OLF and IGLF and prevented any further escalation.
