Origin of Senafe

By
History

 

The original name for Saanafรจ was Hakir. Local tradition states that the name was changed by a man named Abdullah from Sanaa in Yemen; he settled in the Awdie district of Hakir, and upon marrying a local woman he was quoted as saying "Sana-fen" which means in Arabic "where is Sanaa" he was relating to his hometown; thus the town was named Sanafe; his descendants form a tribe and are also known as Saanafรจ.

An early record of Sanafe is on the Egyptus Novello map, published in 1454. This map shows Sanafe at the edge of Tigray, connected to two routes, one leading west to Axum, the other south to Lake Ashangi.[1]

Senafe is mentioned in an 1794-5 land grant (1787 E.C.) from the Ethiopian Emperor Tekle Giyorgis to Ras Wolde Selassie.[2] During Italian rule, the town grew notably: when A.J. Shepherd visited Senafe in 1869/1869, he described it as having only "some twelve or fourteen bee-hive shaped buildings ... and as many diminutive barns"; in 1891 Alamanni estimated its population as 1,500, and the Italian Guido of 1938 stated the population had increased to 2,000.[3] The modern town suffered extensive destruction during the Eritrean War of Independence and the Eritrean-Ethiopian War, although people are gradually returning from its surrounding refugee camps.
