What is "moyale"

Moyale is a market town on the border of Ethiopia and Kenya, which is split between the two countries: the larger portion is in Ethiopia (in the Oromia Region), and the smaller is in Marsabit County, Kenya (the former capital of the defunct Moyale District). There are four disputed locations within the area of Moyale between the Somali and Oromo regions.

Moyale is the main border post on the Nairobi- Addis Ababa road, lying north of the Dide Galgalu Desert. It is known for its traditional architecture.

Moyale is the name of at least one town and two woredas in Ethiopia:

• Moyale, the town on the border between Kenya and Ethiopia
• Moyale, Oromia (woreda)
• Moyale, Somali (woreda)
