Hargaysaay, if your interested in the populations of Gaashaamo and Aware, Danot districts here it is.



Misraq Gashaamo District

Misraq Gashamo ("East Gashamo") is one of the 47 woredas in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Degehabur Zone, Misraq Gashamo is bordered on the south by the Werder Zone, on the west by Aware, and on the north and east by Somalia; it is frequently considered part of the Haud. Towns in Misraq Gashamo include Gashamo and Gowelele.
Before 1960, there was no water available during the dry season in Misraq Gashamo; the pastures in the woreda were traditionally abandoned by the local nomadic pastoralists for areas with abundant water with the advent of the dry season, like Burco in Somaliland. In the years after 1960 the construction of private birkas (underground concrete water tanks), which greatly increased after 1970; by 1998 there were 128 clusters of birkas, each cluster corresponding to the number of permanent or semi-permanent settlements in the woreda. By the 1980s, pastoralists grazing in Misraq Gashamo had all but stopped the trek to Burco and other wells in the dry season. While this allowed the area that was previously grazed mainly in the wet season to now be grazed throughout the dry season, it has also led to a serious decline in the native species most favored for fodder and grazing in this woreda.[1]


Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 125,885, of whom 57,700 were males and 68,185 were females; 7,805 or 8.68% of its population are urban dwellers, which is less than the Zone average of 22.3%. Information is not available on the area of Misraq Gashamo, so its population density cannot be calculated.[2] This woreda is primarily inhabited by the Habar Yoonis, one of the Isaaq clans of the Somali people.[3]







Aware District

Aware (Somali: Awaare) is one of the 47 woredas in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Degehabur Zone, Aware is bordered on the south by the Korahe Zone, on the west by Degehabur, on the north by the Jijiga Zone, and on the east by Misraq Gashamo. The map of the Oromia Region published by Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Agency (2006)[1] differs from the one from UN-OCHO (2003)[2] by showing the southern half of its territory is occupied by Gunagadow woreda. Towns in Aware include Aware, Daroor, Kam Aboker, and Rabaso.
As part of the Haud, the lands in Aware are dry pasturage, which traditionally were abandoned by the local nomadic pastoralists for areas with abundant water (like Ceynabo, Burco and Odweyne in Somaliland, or outside the Haud in Danot woreda with its wells) with the advent of the dry season. However, the construction of private birkas (underground concrete water tanks), a development which started in the 1950s and later on dramatically increased after the 1970s, offered a solution to the absence of permanent water. While this encouraged birka owners to further diversify traditional animal husbandry beyond camels and small ruminants into water-dependent cattle, this also increased livestock population in an overpopulated region, putting additional pressure on shrinking resource base; the vicinity of almost every settlement in Aware have become overgrazed by cattle belonging to the villagers, thus driving away ideal nomads raising camels and small ruminants in the eternal search for pasture and water.[3]
As part of their response to the local insurgency, the Ethiopian army enforced a trade embargo on part of the Somali Region which includes Aware. In early June 2007, a truck transporting goods (sugar, oil, and other food items) from Hargeysa was stopped by a military patrol 12 kilometers from Aware town, near the village of Dud Adaad. The patrol accused the truck's owner of delivering food to the Ogaden National Liberation Front, and confiscated his truck. In mid-September of the same year, three more commercial trucks traveling from Hargeysa to Aware were stopped and confiscated by the army at Bukudhaba village.[4]
[edit]Demographics

Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 132,149, of whom 61,685 were men and 70,464 were women; 33,582 or 25.41% of its population are urban dwellers, which is greater than the Zone average of 22.3%. Information is not available on the area of Aware, so its population density cannot be calculated.[5] This woreda is inhabited by the Ogaden and Ciidagale Somali clans.[3]








Danot District


Danot is one of the 47 woredas in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, named after its major town, Danot. Part of the Werder Zone, Danot is bordered on the south by Werder, on the west by the Degehabur Zone, on the north by Somalia, and on the east by Boh.
Danot was important locally for its wells, which were used by the nomadic pastoralists with the advent of the dry season. However, the construction of private birkas (underground concrete water tanks) in adjacent woredas, a development which started in the 1950s and later on dramatically increased after the 1970s, offered a solution to the absence of permanent water, and reduced somewhat the importance of these wells. While this encouraged birka owners to further diversify traditional animal husbandry beyond camels and small ruminants into water-dependent cattle, this also increased livestock population in an overpopulated region, putting additional pressure on shrinking resource base.[1]
In the case of Danot, an agreement was made between two Somali clans, the Habar Yoonis and their southern neighbors, the Ogaden, which limited the construction of birkas in the bushy grazing area, where there had been numerous conflicts over control of territory. This agreement between the 2 clans made Danot the border between them and that each could construct 16 birkas there; however in the Haud north of Danot to Ali Jama, controlled by the Habar Yoonis, and south of Danot, controlled by the Ogaden, no birkas woould be constructed. This was in part to create a buffer zone between them, but also to maintain the area as a prime grazing area for camels.[2]
[edit]Demographics

Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 48,890, of whom 26,611 were men and 22,279 were women; 998 or 2.04% of its population are urban dwellers, which is less than the Zone average of 9.2%. Information is not available on the area of Danot, so its population density cannot be calculated.[3]
