this is study done by PHD student on liban zone by a student from Addis Ababa university in 2018

the political appointments don't actually represent who lives where. this is Ethiopia after all. So Marehan have their own wordea called dheeka suftu but are also 2nd biggest clan in filtu wordea

Population: The Filtu woreda has a total population of 130,993 (74,537 male and 56,456 female) out of which; the total urban population is 4,972(2,733 male and 2739 female), and the total number of the rural population is 126,021(71,804 male and 54,217 female) (CSA, 2012). The population of the woreda is composed of two major Somali sub‐clans and other minorities. The Digodia clan, make up the majority of the woreda’s population, and the Marehan clans and other minority clans like Gurra, Karanle, Ajuran, are living in the woreda. Filtu town is located at about 1,300km to the southwest of Jijiga and 730km to the south of Addis Ababa (WoFED, 2011)


This chapter has tried to present a description of the study areas. Two adjacent woredas (districts) of two regional states of Ethiopia are chosen to investigate the local level impact of Ethiopian federalism and district-level decentralization on inter-clan relations. Somali and Oromia regional states are purpesfully chosen as a case studies. These are Liban woreda of Gujii Zone in Oromia and Filtu woreda of Liban Zone in Somali Region. First, it has been shown that pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia occupy larger territories though they are few in terms of demography. Both Liban woreda of Gujii Zone of Oromia and Filtu woreda of Liban Zone of Somali region practice similar livelihood that is pastoralism and agro-pastoralism. The two major Somali clans in Filtu woreda are Digodia and Marehan; whereas, in Liban woreda, three major Oromo clans include the Borana, Gujii, and Arsi. Both demographically and geographically explanations of the two woredas have been offered in the chapter. The next chapter is about the theoretical underpinnings of the study
