[edit] Length

I'm confused. In 'Lists of Rivers Longer than 1000 km' you put the Shabele River as 2,490 km long. But in the description of the Shabele River, it is stated that the Shabele is 1130 km long. Which one is correct? --04:52, 13 September 2005 207.69.139.149

And in addition to this fact it can't be possible, that the river is extending for 1000 kilometers inside Ethiopia and 130 inside Somalia, because the distance between the ethiopian-somalian border to the Indik ocean as measured by air-line is only 280 km long.

In the internet you can find the information that the river is 1.820 km long (Ethiopia 920 km; Somalia 900 km). The "Statistical Abstract of Ethiopia for 1967/68", that the Shabele River is 1130 kilometers long, is a stub and schould be deletet. --84.138.76.160 16:35, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
