Segeg (woreda)
Segeg is one of the 47 woredas in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, named after its major town, Segeg. Part of the Fiq Zone, Segeg is bordered on the south by Dihun, on the northwest by Hamero, and on the northeast by Gerbo.
Demographics
Based on figures published by the Central Statistical Agency in 2005, this woreda has an estimated total population of 26,714, of whom 12,173 were males and 14,541 were females; 3,713 or 13.90% of its population are urban dwellers, which is greater than the Zone average of 11.6%. Information is not available on the area of Segeg, so its density cannot be calculated.[1] This woreda is primarily inhabited by the Darod clan of the Somali people.
The 1997 national census reported a total population for this woreda of 21,355, of whom 11,809 were men and 9,546 were women; 2,488 or 11.65% of its population were urban dwellers. (This total also includes an estimate for the inhabitants of 22 rural kebeles, which were not counted; they were estimated to have 3,806 inhabitants, of whom 2,107 were men and 1,699 women.) The largest ethnic group reported in Dihun was the Somali (99.98%).[2]
