Sitting in the picturesque foothills of northern Eritrea, Keren is the nation's second-largest city and regional capital of the surrounding neighborhoods. Approximately 146,000 people belonging to various tribes and ethnic groups call the city home. The dominant tribes — Bilen and Tigre — represent over 80 percent of the city's population.

An introduction to Keren

History

The city grew after the establishment of the Eritrean Railway by the Italian colonial powers. It was an important stop before Asmara, from where the line would continue onto the coast at Massawa. Unfortunately, decades of warfare left the railway in disrepair and it has been largely dismantled. There are plans to eventually restore the line.

After Eritrean Independence, Keren entered a transitional development stage. The government, hoping to improve the economic importance of the nation's second-largest city, further developed its infrastructure and educational system.

Climate & Weather

Keren experiences a semi-arid desert climate, with the hottest period being March until June and the coolest from October to February. Wednesday weather is sparse throughout the year, except the rainy season that stretches from mid-June to mid-September. The rain can provide a pleasant relief from the hot African sun.
