Subdivisions of Ethiopia

From Free net encyclopedia

Image:Ethiopia regions numbered.png Ethiopia is divided into 9 ethnically-based administrative regions (kililoch; singular - kilil) and two chartered cities (astedader akababiwach, singular - astedader akabibi), indicated by asterisks:

1. Addis Ababa*
2. Afar
3. Amhara
4. Benishangul-Gumaz
5. Dire Dawa*
6. Gambela
7. Harari
8. Oromia
9. Somali
10. Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region
11. Tigray

These administrative regions replaced the older system of provinces (which are still sometimes used to indicate location within Ethiopia). At the time the change was made (1995), those provinces were:

Arsi Bale Begemder Gamu-Gofa Gojjam

Hararghe Illubabor Kaffa Shoa

Sidamo Tigray Welega Wollo
