HISTORY AND LANGUAGE OF THE
As with other regions in the Horn of Africa, nation-based traditions of historiography and epistemologies in this area have usually perceived the space inhabited by Tigre-speaking societies as somewhat on the margins, on the very periphery of the dominant historical polities in the broader area, and perhaps especially so vis-à-vis the highland ‘Abyssinian’ polity in its various historic configurations.

The study of Islam in Eritrea the faith of approximately half of the country’s population is still in its infancy. Similar to other fields of scholarly inquiry regarding Eritrea, research on the historyof Islam in the region has become more feasible only since the early 1990s as the newly independent state became accessible to researchers, both locally-based and foreign.

Dr.Orville Boyd Jenkins
Sources of information on the peoples of the horn of Africa are sometimes confusing because of conflicting terminology. Names of peoples and languages differ due to different names used in the Amharic or Tigrinya.
Great Works That Need To Be Found
The incident happened more than 100 years ago; but its significance, mystery and strangeness still keeps it important. The story of a young Eritrean begins in a village called Gheleb, 60 kms from Keren; but it is still unknown where it ends.
