What is "gash-setit"

Gash-Setit is a designated national wildlife reserve and historical area of western Eritrea. It is located in much of Omhajer District and Haykota District south west of Haykota between the market town of Tesseney in the Gash-Barka region. The name is derived from the two rivers, the Gash and the Setit (Tekezé) River. It is the historical area of the Kunama people and a site of conflict and dispute between the Ethiopians and the Eritreans.

Gash-Setit was a former province of Eritrea until 1996.
