"Why are you bugging me when you spend a lot of money on different unnecessary things," was my friend's brother's defensive argument when ever she tries to scold him for squandering money. But it is not only my friend's brother who thinks this way; the majority of the male species are of the opinion that women spend more money than men. I beg to differ.
Three Eritrean sisters—Lianda Abraham,17, Salina Abraham,15, and Haben Abraham, 12, are best known by their collective name working as a team in their musical career as the EriAm (Eritrean American)Sisters. Three of them have been gaining wide reputation for the talent they have exhibited in the music world. Everything they have accomplished in the music world is in fact far beyond their age.
Eritrea might be one of the youngest nations in the Horn of Africa but as regards to ancient history and civilization as well as the introduction of Christianity and Islam to the region, it is one of the prominently mentioned countries in expansion and introduction of those religions where today the population distribution of both religions in the country is about 50-50.
Gazing from a distance, the place looks like a hole in the surface of the earth facing towards the sky. But upon a closer look one can see that it is a pristine and eerily still lake in the middle of an arid and desert like area. Flanked by crescent shaped hill on one side and sand dunes on the other, the lake extends over a crater-like area of 20 sq. kms. Named "Abha Bada", this lake is found in the Gelalo sub zone of the Northern Red Sea Region. Though its name literally means 'the smelly lake' in the Afar language, the lake is surprisingly fresh and clear.
Located in the north eastern district of Asmara, Medebber is sometimes referred to as the Mecca of inventors and modifiers. Craftsmen ranging from teenagers to elders sporting work- uniforms, grabbing tools with their grease stained hands are seen wandering here and there. Some hammer and weld while others stoop over their carpentry machines.
Traveling from Asmara to Massawa, one can witness many amazing sites beside the breathtaking twisting and winding roads, the changing climate and landscape. Around 25 kms from the capital, one finds the town of Nefasit, to the right of which is located one of the country’s ancient monasteries atop the Mount Bizen.
Mussie Asghedom is one of Eritrea’s principal artists. He got into painting when he was 12 and has been working since. Mussie was born in one of the rural areas of the country from a family of farmers; but he started painting at early age and developed his talent through. Mussie passed away in Feburary, 2010 and this article is dedicated in his memory though some of the information was gathered before his death.
