...Although the post-trap volcanism in the regions of active rifting around Addis Ababa and Djibouti has been the subject of numerous publications (e.g. Justin Visentin et al., 1974; Zanettin et al., 1978; Barrat et al., 1990; Deniel et al., 1994), little attention has been paid to the shield volcanoes....

...This combination corresponds quantitatively to that of the HIMU mantle component, which is reported to be present both in lavas from the Afar depression (Deniel et al., 1994) and in the mantle lithosphere adjacent to the Red Sea (Chazot & Bertrand, 1993)....

The 45---30 Ma Getra-Kele basalts in southern Ethiopia (Figs 14 and 15) have a similar composition, which was attributed by Stewart & Rogers (1996) and George & Rogers (2002) to be a characteristic of their source in the mantle lithosphere....
