Historical geography
Tembien in the past was at least partially inhabited by Agew people and there are still Agew communities south of Tembien, in Abergele.[7] The border between Tigray proper (area surrounding Aksum and Adwa) and Tembien traditionally was the Wer’i river. This is why Tembien was also called “Wer’i Mellash” (‘beyond the Wer’i’).[7] Whereas several other Tigrinya-speaking provinces were less linked with the centre, Tembien was often linked with Tigray proper (Adwa) in a dynamic way. In the rainy season, Tembien became full autonomous because the Wer’i river was an unpassable border. However, during dry seasons Tembien accepted the authority of Tigray proper.[7] Tembien appears on indigenous maps of the northern Horn of Africa in the 15th Century.[8][9]
