Ali Ghider ( Arabic: علي قدر) is located nine kilometers to the west of Teseney in the country of Eritrea. It is part of the Teseney sub-zone and has a diverse population. [1] It is considered the last settlement in Eritrea before reaching the Sudanese Border [2] and is located in the lowlands. [3]
Agriculture, livestock raising, and trade are vital to the area's economy. Ali Ghider has access to potable water from both the Gash River and underground water resources. [1] The irrigation process has created an artificial marsh near the Gash River, which provides a large habitat for many bird species. [4]
Ali Ghider was once an Italian frontier village. [5] Ali Ghider was an agricultural area that grew cotton and other crops, including sorghum, millet, and taff, and was managed by the Societa Impresse Africana (SIA). [6] SIA helped develop Ali Ghider into a company town, housing tenant farmers and other workers on the plantation. [6] A school and clinic were set up, and by the 1950s, the plantation employed 2,000 Eritreans and 15 Italians and "provided a residence for another 12,000 part-time workers and family members." [6]
A well-known Italian business that was established for many years in Ali Ghider was the Barattolo cotton plantation, which was established in 1965 by Roberto Barattolo in a purchase from SIA. [7] This acquisition from the SIA allowed Barattolo to export knitwear to Europe and the Middle East. [6]
Ali Ghider received significant damage from the sacking by Ethiopian forces. [2] Many of the Italian artifacts left from its time as a frontier village were destroyed in 2001 through Ethiopian military actions. [5]
