Dawhan High School of the Irob Woreda in Tigray, Ethiopia: A video report on the academic progress and deficiencies of the High School and on the support received from IRROB (USA) and other Irob-related organizations and TDA. The School appeals to all Irobs and others for more help!
"The trouble with the Irob people is not their excessive pride in their culture or stubbornness. What troubles me is that majority of them are not desperate. They are not being able to read the signs of the times. They are not ready for the challenge. They seem to be contented with themselves and resigned to fate. " (To read the full text, CLICK HERE!)

The Deadly Exodus of Irob Youths
(Please note the Correction!)
IRROB.org has sadly learned that during this current month of June 2010 two Irob youths died of dehydration and starvation on the Sudanese territory in an overcrowded small car during a long journey to Sinai, Egypt. They were heading to their destination, Israel. According to the information received from Israel via telephone communication, the two young Irobs (their names are omitted purposely from mentioning here) were from Bobo (Addaga) and Aiga villages of Irob (Erob) Woreda, Northeastern Ethiopia, and were students who completed high school level education.(To read the full text, CLICK HERE!)

Dear Fellow Irobs,
IRROB.org has bad news and good news to tell you about your request of restoring and reopening of the closed Message Board and Guest Book of this website: the bad news is that with regret it has declined to accept your request; but the good news is that a new forum has been launched in response to your requests to accommodate and meet your needs of communicating with each others online in order to foster and strengthen the historical and traditional Irob community relationship globally and locally through the use of contemporary technologies available to us
IRROB.org is pleased to inform you, all Irobs around the globe, that there is a free forum available to you to be able to discuss constructively and intelligently all issues affecting negatively or positively the Irob people in Ethiopia and in Diaspora and to seek ways how to respond to those issues in a more coordinated and meaningful approach and debate. The free forum can be accessed directly from this website by clicking on the "Irob Forum" found on the horizontal menus of this page. Once accessed to the site, please follow the necessary instructions provided by the service providing company.
Firstly, we greet you warmly and we hope that you are keeping well.
Secondly, we would like to inform you that on irrob.org, guest room/message board was very helpful for us Irobs to communicate and share some constructive ideas concerning Irob issues as well as, to keep communication and know each other. It took us very long time to write you this; hoping that message board was going to be back on its place. Thanks for your concern and it's obvious that "RECRUITMENT OF UNDERAGE CHILDREN IN WAR IS AGAINST HUMANITY AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW" caused tremendous pain among Irob citizens and that is why you had decided to shut down MESSAGE BOARD/GUESTROOM as well. We appreciate your concern and the decision you took, but we would like to say it's better not to accept/post on your website any kind of comment which violates the web, and/or creates destruction among Irobs, instead you shut down the only page which was our communication center. We’re disappointed.
Finally, we're looking forward to seeing our MESSAGE BOARD is back on its place and communicating with our fellow Irobs through this page.
Respectfully yours,
W.mariam Tesfay and Adhanom Adum with friends

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT AND
THE PEOPLES OF ETHIOPIA FOR THE WELL-DONE FAIR AND
PEACEFUL DEMOCRATIC NATION-WIDE ELECTION OF ITS KIND!
We know that human trafficking is becoming more dangerous and at times fatal. People are crossing and trying to cross dangerous Seas and Deserts probably some of them without any awareness of the fatality. In the middle of this process loss of young human lives is becoming common by human smugglers, dehydration and irresponsible security forces.
Let us at least our community members be aware of these tragedies. We can call, write a letter, send message with somebody going home and/or e-mail our people back home. Loss of young Human lives is the worst thing we can have; and I am praying to see something to keep these young people around their native country. The local churches, some local government officials and other community activists in Irob district need to play a good roll in announcing these tragedies to general people if we make them aware well. The coming radio program for Irobs is going to play a big roll too. Please let us continue to support it all as we did before.
First of all, I would like to thank those who created this website. I'm very glad that I'm able to share my thoughts with you, Irobs, through this website. Without this website, I wouldn't be able to communicate with you and I wouldn't try to do so on other websites. (To read the full text, Click Here!)
SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF ASSABOL DAM PROJECT "The present study is concerned with the sedimentation in the Assabol watershed in North Ethiopia and was conducted between July 2006 and July 2007. The main part of the evaluated data was acquired during the field study in summer 2006 in the watershed area (6 July to 9 September 2006).The aim of this study is to get a better understanding of the sedimentation processes in the watershed of the Assabol Flood Water Harvesting Scheme, especially with regards to the sediments filling the reservoir of this scheme. The Harvesting Scheme is initiated by the ADDA (Adigrat Diocesan Development Action) and the thesis should reveal practical information for this project. The thesis is written under the lead of Prof. Dr. H. Hurni from the Centre for Development and Environment (CDE) at the University of Bern." (Andres Strebel) Andres Strebel, Bern, May 2007
reams! Dreams! Dreams! "To dream is easy, but to turn a dream into a reality may often be beyond practical expectations. Nightmares,
however, may give birth to the dreams. How could the people living to the east of Adigrat on the steep slopes
of the Rift Valley be saved from repeated droughts and hunger? How could those people be provided with a
minimum of food security? How could the quality of their lives be improved? Their self-reliance was a remote
dream, an ambitious ideal, but too hazy to be seen as a practical short-term objective ..." (Kevin O'Mahonney, M.Afr.).

ECOTOURISM POSSIBILITIES: Irobland (Dr. Paul B. Henze) - Irobland cannot not be transformed overnight from a degraded, isolated region into a flourishing one, but ecotourism development would open the way to further initiatives which could make the region an appealing destination for climbers, trekkers and ordinary visitors interested in experiencing a historic region and a mildly exotic traditional way of life. The greatest advantage would be for the Irob people themselves who would gain a source of pride along with opportunities for employment and a means of improving living conditions of future generations.
