When dividing the number of legs amputees on the total population in the various provinces I found three provinces (Senhit, Hamasien and Sahel) to have substantially higher leg amputee ratios (marked with *) than the rest of the provinces.
When looking at the causes of disabilities by province I found high numbers of disabilities caused by explosive in the same provinces as those who had a high leg amputation ratio.
Considerations on amputee ratio as well as cause of disability made the basis for further work as I here found an indicator, though weak, to where in Eritrea landmine injuries are most prevalent.

 Land
There are no other arguments justifying that, though the Kunama people themselves call their native land with the name of their own ethnicity, should be, by foreign forces, altered into the foreign name of the river “Gash”, for which the Kunama have its own name of “SONA”.
Throughout their history, the Kunama people have been putting up with and suffering only ethnic and territorial injustices and therefore it is time that those chains of unjust rules and maltreatment are broken and the Kunama let conduct their peaceful life-style.
It is to be noted that, in its ethnic and land matters, the new generation of the Kunama people is just as adamant as the Eritrean Tigrians of the three Kebesa regions of Akele-Guzai, Hamasien and Serae, with their passionately defended and protected “Risti” land property rights.

Henceforth Akele Guzzay, Saray and Hamasien became part of the Italian colony of Eritrea while Tigray proper remained Ethiopian.
The Tigreans from Tigray and those from Akele Guzzay, Saray and Hamasien in Eritrea have different views of their history.
This comes from the fact that for the “Eritreans” forty years of Italian colonialism and thirty-nine years of political and later military struggle have shaped a sub-identity different from the overall identity they started with.

Though the days of bragging about the “invincible” army are almost gone, the Asmarino Eritreans (the Eritrean elite of primarily Hamasien) are threatening us with “another Armageddon”, in the form of sanctions and outside intervention…to rescue them.

It is therefore here noteworthy to distinguish between those Eritreans living permanently in their own home regions and those temporarily in other regions.
The areas, along the south-western border-lines, which the EEBC (Eritrea Ethiopia Border Commission), did later recognised, define and established as “the Land of the Kunama people”, there used to live a lot of mostly Eritrean-Tigrian populations from the distant Hamasien and of the bordering Serae regions.
There are no Kunama people settled in those areas and we believe there are no other non-Eritrean-Tigrians, settled in those three regions either.
