Argobba special woreda

Argobba is one of the Districts of Ethiopia, or woredas, in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. The name Argobba is said to have emerged from the Amharic language called "Areb geba" when Arab people migrated to the country which means the "Arab entered". This woreda is named after the Argobba people, whose homeland lies in this district. Located on the eastern escarpment of the Ethiopian highlands, Argobba is bordered on the south, west and north by the Afar Region, and on the east by Dulecha. Settlements in this woreda include Gachine. ()
