Daroor (Somali: Daroor, also spelled , , and ,[1] Ge'ez ዳሮር) is a town in the Misraq Gashamo woreda, in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. It is frequently considered part of the Haud. It is approximately 30 km south of the border with Somaliland.
History
In 2005 Daroor had 34,016 inhabitants, according to the Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency.[2] In 1997 of 9,397 inhabitants 99,47% of these were Somali, and 50 residents were from other ethnic groups.[3] In 1988 a refugee camp was set up for Somalis. The refugee camp housed predominantly members of the Yonis Abdirahman, a sub-sub clan of Ciidagale a sub-clan of the Garhajis Isaaq clan. The camp's population fell from around 32000 to 12000 in September 1994. After renewed fighting in November, the population rose to 49.000.[4] At the end of 2001 / the beginning of 2002 the camp was closed after most refugees voluntarily went home.[5]
The economy of the area was strongly affected when the Saudi Arabian 1998 import of cattle from northeast Africa stopped.[6]
