Everything about Regions Of Ethiopia totally explained
Ethiopia is divided into 9 ethnically-based administrative regions (
kililoch; singular
kilil) and three chartered cities (
astedader akababiwach, singular
astedader akabibi). The word "kilil" more specifically means "reservation" or "protected area" and the
ethnic basis of the regions and choice of the word "kilil" has drawn fierce criticism from
the opposition, who have drawn comparisons to the
bantustans of
Apartheid South Africa.

- Addis Ababa*
- Afar
- Amhara
- Benishangul-Gumuz
- Dire Dawa*
- Gambela
- Harari*
- Oromia
- Somali
- Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region
- Tigray
These administrative regions replaced the older system of
provinces (which are still sometimes used to indicate location within Ethiopia).
