Semhar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Semhar is the name of a former province of Eritrea, which has now become almost incorporated into the Northern Red Sea Region when the number and names of provinces were unilaterally changed in 1996.[1] The province was thinly settled with Massawa as the provincial capital.[2] The population is mainly Tigre, Afar, Saho and Tigrinya. The Tigre and Tigrinya language are mainly spoken. The population is mainly pastoralist and agro-pastroalist.
It is a common name for Eritrean females and at times males as well.[citation needed] Semhar is also a city in Eritrea.
