Argobba special woreda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Argobba (or Argoba) is one of the 31 woredas in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. Because Argobba is not part of any Zone in the Afar Region, it is considered a Special woreda. This woreda is named for the Argobba people, whose homeland lies in this district.
Located on the eastern escarpment of the Ethiopian highlands, Argobba is bordered on the south, west and north by the Amhara Region, and on the east by Administrative Zone 3. Information is lacking on the towns of this woreda.
Based on figures from the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this zone has an estimated total population of 12,906, of which 6,539 were males and 6,367 were females. Density figures for this woreda are not available.[1]
