	Shebelle River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shebelle River (with numerous spelling variations, including Shabele and Shabell, sometimes with Wabe or Webi prepended, Shabeelle in Somalia) begins in the highlands of Ethiopia, and then flows southeast into Somalia towards Mogadishu.
		Most years the river dries up near the mouth of the Jubba River, while in seasons of heavy rainfall the river actually reaches the Jubba and thus the Indian Ocean.
		In the past, the area of Shebelle River was very affected by tsetse, but it seems now to be eradicated at least in some parts of the Shebelle valley.
