displaced.htm Time constraints for the Tigray mission and an almost complete absence of roads into the interior of Afar region caused some limitations but overall both missions felt that they were able to get a good "feel" for the plight of the various displaced populations.

What this means is that the old province of Tigray grew with territory formerly belonging to the province of Gonder to give birth to this state (eventually with border arrangements with other administrative divisions). flagspot.net /flags/et-ti.html   (423 words)

The highlands of both Eritrea and Tigray are rolling hillscapes of endless rock interspersed with spindly trees or the odd clump of green. The hope for both Eritrea and Tigray lies in the promise of a grass-roots democracy that allows the majority of people a direct say over the decisions that shape both their communities and their lives. www.newint.org /issue238/notebook.htm   (2466 words)
