Welcome Message of the Chair Man

Dear friends!

On behalf of Tigria cultural Association and my self, I would like to welcome you all to our new web site. We hope this web-site will serve as a source of information, knowledge, art, entertainment and amusement.

The source of the contents of this web-site is Tigria, northern Ethiopia, the epicenter of ancient Ethiopian history and civilization. The historical relic of yeha and Axum bear a monumental testimony to this. The history of Tigrai is an admixture of pain and glory. The region was also the hub of thriving business and a conduit of international trade and Diplomatic links with the civilized world of the past.

Historically religion had a considerable role and influence on Ethiopian history. What is more Christianity and Islam served as centers of education and learning long before the onset of the modern 20th century civilization.

CAT is a non-government and non-profit making organization dedicated to the preservation and spear of the cultural heritage of the land among the people in general and the youth in particular. Furthermore CAT would endeavor to familiarize the rest of the world with Ethiopia culture and history through this web-site fostering the value of culture as an instrument for promoting international understanding and respect for the relativity of culture and cultural values.

It is our ardent hope that you find the contents of this web-sit informative and educational. Please feel free to convey your suggestions.

Messele Zeleke

Executive Director
