Kiderrete

Kiderrete is a region in the Somali Region of Ethiopia. It is part of the South West Zone. The area is mostly inhabited by ethnic Somali people and is situated approximately 136 kilometers southwest of the regional capital Jijiga.

The terrain in Kiderrete spans from grasslands and savannas to rugged hilly terrain. The region is considered to be a primary agricultural area within the Somali Region. Some crops grown in the region include wheat, maize, and vegetables, primarily based on the availability of rain. Livestock rearing, mainly cattle and goats, is another significant economic activity in Kiderrete.

Kiderrete is historically recognized as the region where the former Somali President Siad Barre was born. In terms of infrastructure, the area is relatively underdeveloped with a basic road network that connects surrounding localities. However, local inhabitant communities reconcile their needs with existing infrastructure.

While there is limited information available on the education level within the region, some informal education is available through Koranic schools. Further research is required to understand the quality and diversity of the education system.

Most of the population speaks the Somali language. Islamic values are profound in local culture and a great number of inhabitants maintain strong allegiance to these beliefs.

Due to lack of an up-to-date and accurate urban population census, demographic data remains highly uncertain and pertinent further analysis.
