Gogti (also spelled: Gocti), is a town located in the Fafan Zone in the Somali region of Ethiopia. It lies near the border with the Sitti Zone.
Demographics[edit]
The town and the surrounding region is primarily inhabited by the Reer Dudub of the Jibriil Yoonis subclan of the Gadabuursi Dir clan.[1][2]
Adele Galipo (2018) states that Gogti was built around an already existing water source belonging to the shepherds of the Reer Dudub subclan of the Gadabuursi Dir clan:
"Gogti, located at the Somali-Ethiopian border and founded in 1928 by two brokers of the Reer Dudub lineage working for a merchant of the same lineage located in Zeyla. The village was built around a water source for the shepherds of the Reer Dudub."[3]
