Dances of Somali Region

Somali women performing Dhaantada Guuxa, the version of traditional, Somali dhaanto dance, Somali Region, Jun 2010.

Gode was the collateral of the Somali Region from late 1992, to damp the absolute Ogaden clan though in 1994 collateral was moved to Jijiga.

Gode was determined in 1965 by Emperor Haile Selassie, who systematic building the whole of infantry base, well, mosque as well as church as well as laid the runway in this easternmost frame of Ethiopia. Before the begin of the Ogaden War (between Ethiopia as well as Somalia 1977-78), Gode was garrisoned by the 5th Brigade of the 4th Division, distributed around the town in five infantry camps. Gode was prisoner by Somali side in the finish of Jul 1977. Brigadier-General Demisse Bulto, commander in chief of the Ethiopians First Revolutionary Army, recovered Gode by Nov 1980, as well as used the city as the single of the three bases to successfully transparent the rest of eastern Ethiopia of foreign Somali troops.
Gode has been during the center of multiform harmful famines: largest ones in 1981; the subsequent in 1991, which compulsory the UN High Commission for Refugees to airlift food to 80,000 people stuck outside the town; as well as most not long ago in 2000 (and to reduction border in 2008), which had caused Gode to bloat to the reported distance of 100,000 inhabitants. This led John Graham to grimly acknowledgement in the Addis Observer, "The main claims to fame of Gode have been not moving - they have been famine as well as war".
