Daror (also Darror , Darar , Ge'ez ዳሮር) is a place in the woreda aware in the Degehabur zone of the Somali region in Ethiopia .
According to the Central Statistics Agency of Ethiopia for 2005, Daror had 14,016 inhabitants. In 1997, 99.47% of the 9,397 inhabitants were Somali and 50 of the population belonged to other ethnic groups.
In Daror, one of three camps for Somali refugees was set up in Aware in 1988 (the other two were in Camaboker and Rabasso ). The refugee camp mainly housed members of the Habar-Yunis-Garhajis and Habar-Ja'lo- Isaaq clans from nearby Northern Somalia / Somaliland , who had fled the fighting between the state army and the SNM rebels. The three Aware Camps were less well equipped than the Hartisheik , Derwonaji and Teferi Ber / Awbere camps , as they were located further east of the Jijiga logistics center and were therefore more difficult to supply. The population of the Daror camp fell from around 32,000 at the beginning to 12,000 in September 1994, after a further deterioration in the situation in Somalia in November of the same year it rose again to 49,000. The camp was closed at the end of 2001 / beginning of 2002, as most of the refugees returned voluntarily.
Daror is located on an important route for the cattle trade from the Ethiopian Somali region via Northern Somalia / Somaliland to the Arab states. The town's economy was therefore badly affected when Saudi Arabia stopped importing cattle from northeast Africa in 1998.
