Kelafo (also transliterated Qelafo and Au Calif) is a town in eastern Ethiopia. Located in the Gode Zone of the Somali Region, this town. The UN-OCHA-Ethiopia website provides details of the health clinic in Kelafo, which was built in 1991 with funds and equipment provided by the Australian government. Kelafo is served by an airport (ICAO code HAKL), and a bridge across the Shebelle River which was scoured in the May 1995 floods. Kelafo had its start in 1923, under the leadership of Fitawrari Semmo. The town had been practically subjected to a siege by rebellious Somali, supported by Italian border soldiers. However, Sultan Orfa of Kelafo arranged the supplies so that the inhabitants did not die from hunger; in memory of this, the settlers tried to rename Kelafo “Wechefo Ketema”. Ten years later, Dr Agge visited the town in September, and found it to be the hottest place he had experienced in the Ogaden. Kelafo was situated on a little hill on the southern side of the Shebelle, with a new motorable road and a small ferry. At the foot of the hill there was a settlement, with a palisade, a moat and two gates towards the river. During the Italian invasion, Sultan Olol Diinle ordered the town burned.
