The Somali Region (Somali: Deegaanka Soomaalida, Amharic: ሱማሌ ክልል, romanized: Sumalē Kilil, Arabic: المنطقة الصومالية), also known as Ogadenia (Soomaali Galbeed) (lit. 'Western Somalia')[3] and officially the Somali Regional State, is a regional state in eastern Ethiopia. Its territory is the largest.[4] The regional state borders the Ethiopian regions of Afar and Oromia to the west, as well as Djibouti to the north, Somalia to the northeast, east and south; and Kenya to the southwest.[5]

The Somali regional government is composed of the executive branch, led by the President; the legislative branch, which comprises the State Council; and the judicial branch, which is led by the State Supreme Court.
