Habro is one of the Aanaas in the Oromia of Ethiopia. It is named after the former Aanaa of the same name. Part of the West Hararghe Zone, the district is bordered on the south by Darolebu, on the west and north by Guba Koricha, on the northeast by Kuni, and on the southeast by Boke. Towns in Habro include Belbelti, Gelemso and Wachu.

Khat is an important cash crop of this district, but because it is a very perishable commodity and must be cultivated not too far from major markets or good roads, it is grown largely along the main roads.[1]
