The Shebelle River ((ソマリ語:''Webi Shabeelle''), (イタリア語:Uebi Scebeli)) begins in the highlands of Ethiopia, and then flows southeast into Somalia towards Mogadishu. Near Mogadishu, it turns sharply southwest, where it follows the coast. Below Mogadishu, the river becomes seasonal. During most years, the river dries up near the mouth of the Jubba River, while in seasons of heavy rainfall, the river actually reaches the Jubba and thus the Indian Ocean. The Shebelle river's name is derived from the Somali term ''Wabi Shabeelle'', meaning "Leopard/Tiger River". The Somali administrative regions consisting of Shabeellaha Dhexe and Shabeellaha Hoose are also named after the river. ==Tributaries== The Shebelle has a number of tributaries, both seasonal and permanent rivers. They include: * Erer River * Galetti River * Wabe River The Fafen only reaches the Shebelle in times of heavy rainfall; its stream usually ends before reaching the main river. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shebelle River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
