What is "gerbo"

Gerbo is one of the woredas in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, named after its major town, Gerbo. Part of the Fiq Zone, Gerbo is bounded on the northwest by Segeg, on the north by the Degehabur Zone, on the west by the Korahe Zone, on the south by the Gode Zone, and on the east by Dihun.

In January 2007, the Ogaden National Liberation Front struck in the woreda, killing five local officials who refused to hand over heavy weapons to the rebels.
