Lefe Isa (Somali: Lafaciise) is a town in eastern Ethiopia. Located in the Fafan Zone of the Somali Region. It is administered under the Awbare district.

Demographics

[edit]

The town is inhabited by the Reer Mohamuud and Reer Faarah subclans of the Jibriil Yoonis and the Habar Cafaan subclan, both branches of the Gadabuursi Dir clan.[1][2][3][4]

Filipo Ambrosio (1994) describes Lefe Isa as being predominantly Gadabuursi:

"Jarso and Geri then sought refuge on 'neutral' adjacent Gadabursi territory in Heregel, Jarre and Lefeisa."[5]
