What is "hamero"

Hamero is one of the woredas in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, named after its major town, Hamero. Part of the Fiq Zone, Hamero is bordered on the south by Dihun, on the west by the Erer and Shebelle Rivers which separate it from Salahad and Lagahida, on the north by Fiq, and on the east by Segeg.

Hamero was one of three locations in the Somali Region on 12 November 2009, where about 200 Ogaden National Liberation Front fighters were killed in a clash with the Somali Regional New Police. Other reported locations were Higlaley in the Degehabur Zone and Riga in the Korahe Zone.
