Babille, Oromia (woreda) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Babille, Oromia (woreda)
Babille is one of the woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia. It is named after one of the 12 major tribes of the Oromo people, the Babille Oromo. Part of the Misraq (East) Hararghe Zone, Babille is bordered on the south and east by the Somali Region, on the west by Fedis, and on the north by Gursum; the Fafen River defines a portion of Babille's eastern border. The administrative center of this woreda is Babille. == Overview ==
The altitude of this woreda ranges from 950 to 2000 meters above sea level; Ambelber and Sarbadin are amongst the highest points. Rivers include the Daketa, Barale, and Erer Tiko. A survey of the land in this woreda (reported in 1995/96) shows that 21.1% is arable or cultivable (17.5% was under annual crops), 3.9% pasture, 3.7% forest, and the remaining 71.3% is considered built-up, degraded or otherwise unusable. Much of Babille is occupied by the Harar Wildlife Sanctuary. The "Valley of Marvels" (a rock formation near the village of Dakata)〔The valley is described in Philip Briggs, ''Ethiopia: The Bradt Travel Guide'', 3rd edition (Chalfont St Peters: Bradt, 2002), pp. 366f〕 and the Erer sanctuary are local landmarks. Oil seeds and groundnuts are important cash crops.〔(''Socio-economic profile of the East Hararghe Zone'' ) Government of Oromia Region (last accessed 1 August 2006).〕 Industry in the woreda includes 10 grain mills and one metalworking industry employing 39 people, as well as 160 registered businesses including wholesalers, retailers and service providers; although no mines are active, feldspar and garnet deposits are known to exist. There were 14 Farmers Associations with 7529 members and one Farmers Service Cooperative with 26 members. Babille has 54 kilometers of rural feeder and 29 of all-weather road, for an average road density of 16.2 kilometers per 1000 square kilometers.〔 Until recently, about 41.5% of the population have access to drinking water, but on 12 December 2007 woreda officials announced the completion of a program to improve access to drinking water, constructing wells in 17 rural kebeles at a cost of 1.1 million Birr, which extended coverage to about 48.5% of the population.〔("Potable water projects benefiting over 7,500 inhabitants go operational in woreda" ) (Walta Information Center)〕
