Poor guy, why are you adding empty sections of outskirts of Jigjiga. Jigjiga is half of Burco if not less, Jigjiga isn't even Somali city anymore the habish are majority in Jigjiga.

Btw Balbala and Djibouti are two different cities, Balbala is a city with mainly slums, it's close to Djibouti city doesn't mean it's part of it. Just like Khartoum and omdurman or Leeds and Bradford.

Wrong. Balbala is a neighborhood of Djibouti. Djibouti has absorbed Balbala and it is part of Djibouti city municipality.

All these cities are dwarfed by Dira Dhabe with an area of 1,000 square kilometers. Even if half of it is Oromo, it is still pretty good size that we inhabit. Imagine a city of 500 square kilometers inhabited by Somalis of Dir ancestry. Say masha'Allah!

Tumaal boy .l haven't included any empty section in the map.you can even check MOG or Hargeisa or any other city ,the outskirts of a city is always scarcely populated with scattered smaller buildings here and there.

Jigjiga is Absame city.Other Somali can be found there and the huge Oromo population were mostly expatriated to their country during the height of Somali-Oromo conflict. The time they "mistakenly" slaughtered 40eydurs in Awaaday.It is like you saying Hargeisa is Madhibaan majority.

As for Balbala ,You're sufficiently answered by Jabutaawi.

Use your app and post it here. I was looking at an image that said it is 1,000 square kilometers. I will share it later.

Xaafad iisa, lag'hare , sabian which my aunt lives in now, many more bro.

Another xaafad which is new as sabian and has somali majority is garrow.

King wasakhle was accusing me that l including empty areas in Jigjiga map but this close-up map only shows the western part which appears empty in the previous full map of Jigjiga.Everybody can see it now.this part has smaller scattered settlements which don't appear very visible from heights.
