Re: Largest Cities in Ethiopia by Sattelite Area
Addis Ababa + Shegar Subcities = 331 Square Kilometers
Merging Addis Ababa and its offspring cities like Alem Gena, Lega Dedi, Sebeta, Dima, Daleti Dukem, Gelan, Barayu comprises a huge urban center of the country, thus called Greater Addis Ababa to which the administrators have secretly re-attempted by calling it Shegar City which again makes no geographical sense. All the Shegar subcities are connected to each other through entrance to Addis Ababa. No Shegar City can be formed outside Addis Ababa without displacing thousands of Tulama farmers without compensation which would cost billions to do.
Sululta is not geographically connected to Addis Ababa as the Entoto Forested Mountians seperate Sululta from Addis Ababa so I would not include Sululta as Addis Ababa. Sululta cannot connect to Barayu as the vast hilly farmlands seperate the cities, nor can Barayu be connected to Alem Gena as the Menagasha Mountians block road and city development between Burayu and Sebeta nor can Lega Dedi be connected to Dukem without building a 33km highway through dozens of farmlands which is pointless.
