Source of the Akobo?[edit]

There some descrepancies regarding the source of the Akobo between the article and map sources. The article states the following:

"From its source in the Ethiopian Highlands near Mizan Teferi it flows west..."

However, there are a number of map sources which suggest different sources:

The Global Watershed Database has the source far less into Ethiopia than Mizan Teferi: https://mghydro.com/watersheds/shared/756EB9.html

WikiMaps has the source similarly in from Mizan Teferi, but further south. In a number of maps this is noted as the Dima (river), but there is no article or mention of it here: https://wikimap.toolforge.org/?lang=en&page=Akobo_River
