Muggi
 
There is an inconsistency between the mapping provided here and some other maps. At the coordinates where I have located the town of Muggi, some maps give the place name "Gobi".
 
"I saw some Fellata passing through Muggi seven or eight years ago. There were about 200 men in groups of eight to ten with lots of cattle. They came from Machaara (Mechara on some maps), beyond Dembi Dolo, and went down to the Gambela region. They stayed below Shabal before the checkpoint at the bridge to the west of the road. Other Mbororo came from the opposite direction. They had pants, which reached below the knee. They were tall and "brown" like Somali. Their cattle were huge. They had loaded some of their belongings on oxen and carried others on their heads. People were afraid of their magic and did not buy their milk."
