== History ==
Elidar existed at least as early as the 1930s, the period the Swiss wife of an Italian engineer recalled visiting a military fort there in her memoirs.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) (pdf) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 27 December 2007)〕 Philip Briggs described Elidar (which he calls "Dobi") 60 years later as "little more than a collection of rickety shacks that provide shelter from the sun and sell lukewarm soda and beer."〔Philip Briggs, ''Ethiopia: The Bradt Travel Guide'', 3rd edition (Chalfont St Peters: Bradt, 2002), p. 349〕
During the Eritrean-Ethiopian War, displaced Afar and non-Afar people from Asseb and Bure took refuge at Elidar, before being transported to Logiya and Mille, both of which had better resources to handle these refugees. Some of the displaced people were sheltered at the local school.〔("Humanitarian Needs of War-Displaced People in Northern and Northern - Eastern Ethiopia" ) UNDP Emergencies Unit for Ethiopia report, dated June 1998 (accessed 13 January 2009)〕
