Ethiopia: Afar-Issa land dispute, Flash Update (As of 27 January 2021)
Format
HIGHLIGHTS
The land dispute between Afar and Issa tribes lies behind the recurrent clashes between the two groups in the Afar region.
The three contested kebeles along the Afar/Somali regional border (yellow on map) are predominately inhabited by ethnic Somali Issa while being located within the Afar regional boundary.
The longstanding tension is rooted in the Issa inhabitants’ desire to be part of the Somali Region while the Afar authorities consider the area as an integral part of the Afar Region.
The 2014 agreement between the two regional Governments that recognized a ‘special kebele status’ for these areas has not been able to resolve the issue, given the opposition of the Ugaz (leader) of the Issa tribe.
