    Soldiers were sent in pursuit of Gebre Hiwet the blind. He had gone some time earlier and
    being wise, he told his daughter to watch out for horses. When the horse hooves were heard,
    they hid under a tree. He, being blind, counted the horses’ hooves, piling a stone for every
    horse. After they had passed, the daughter wanted to travel on.

    But cautious as he was, he told her to wait until the horses passed, returning. And return they
    did, having had trouble riding through swampy ground. Then, Gebre Hiwet the blind piled the
    stones one by one for every horse returning, and all were counted for.

    This resting place still bears this incident’s name, i.e. a town called Tera Imni, pile of stone, to
    this day, in Serae. When they decided to rest from their journey, they did so in what place he
    named Hadire, meaning, I slept the night. When he was surely far away from danger, they
    temporarily settled in Ma’reba, sunset, which is still called so, in Akele Guzai.

    But he missed his home Serae and wandered to a hilly place and continuously asking if Serae
    could be seen. In this mountain, in now Segeneiti town, at night his daughter could see lights
    of Serae. He decided that they would settle there, calling the hill Adi Serae, now known as
    Aserwe Mountain

      Dear Hagerawi , you tried a lot . Still I cannot let you go with a factual mistake . The time degyat Diebul was ruling is not 600 years only . I don’t know if it is a typing error .It is 900 years ago .I don’t know where you brought the statement that Anbesa jir belonged to a tribe called Jelewa. Anbesa jir was the son of king Merara Gebremariam, who was also the son of king Lalibala . King Lalibela belonged to the Zaguie dynasty .Zguiea dynasty was a continuation of the Axumite kingdom .There are people who claim that they are the descendants of the Anbesa Jir and through that the descendants of the Adkeme and Miligae family . You cannot tell them the story of their anscestors

    There were other tribes already there, the Degera people. They intermingled with them. But
    they slept in this wild uninhabited mountain.

    One evening, a lion that had eaten many goats of the people, roared near them. The frightened
    daughter cried that they were doomed. The brave blind father told his daughter to heat stones.
    When the lion came close to them and opened his mouth to eat them, the father had his
    daughter give the hot stones inside the lion’s mouth that when he fell, the father killed him
    with his spear. He then told his daughter to cut out the lion’ eyebrows (Fare) and kept it safe.

    The next day, Degera man was shouting words of their bravery, and dancing warriors? Dance,
    that they had killed a lion. A killer scalps the lion’s head and wears the fur around, to show
    around. All the people assembled and were praising them.

    Then Gebre Hiwet the blind asked audience to the chief and was granted so. He said that if the
    braves had indeed killed the lion, where the lion’s eyebrows were. Surprised, the people
    noticed the lion’s eyebrows were missing. He then pulled out the eyebrows and claimed he
    himself had killed the lion. He was much hailed.

    They said that if this blind man were brave with his handicap, what strong sons he would
    rear. For this bravery, he was given land to farm, presently known as the Hawya land, south of
    Segeneiti town, and a girl, from the Injen (look below) house of Degera village, for marriage.
    But the girl refused to marry a blind man.

    Time went by. They were the only survivors of the Hawya tribe. Without him, there will be
    no more descendants. He had to bear more children. The only female with him was his own
    daughter.

    He proposed that as they were to perish without descendants, she, his daughter should bear
    him sons. The daughter was very shocked. He explained. But still, what would the villagers
    say of this scandal! The father said that people would talk for a short while and forget. To
    prove so, he told her to go to the market naked, but wearing a hyena’s hide.

    When she went to the marked as he said, all people gathered around her sneering and laughing
    at her. Returning home, she told her father of what had happened. The next week, he told her
    to repeat with the hyena skin again. She did so. Some cried that the crazy one had come,
    saying “Is not she from last week?” and were less curious to see her. The third week in the
    market, nobody bothered her saying is that same crazy one.

    Her father now made her understand that people tend to not care after a while, and they lived
    as husband and wife. She bore him three sons. It is also said that a Degera woman with beady
    eyes was given to him and she bore him three sons but died.

    With his sons from the Degera woman, and these 3 present ones, he settled in the land the
    Degera people had given to him. They had given him land so they would not quarrel with him
    over land ownership later. And the land was called Ad Hawya after his tribe’s name. The
    Degera man who gave him the land was called Zena Gabriel. One son went to Agame.
    One to Hazemo, three settled in Segeneiti, and two went further to their land of origin, in
    Serae. Gebre Hiwet divided his land equally to all his sons, like they were all from one
    mother. Two of his sons went to his ancestral country to see.

    When the two sons arrived in their father’s village, water was scarce with no rainfal

    When the two sons arrived in their father’s village, water was scarce with no rainfall for a long
    time. One of the sons struck his stick on the ground and water gushed out that their horses
    drunk enough. The villagers who were watching them curiously, happily drew plenty water to
    their homes. The village elders were astonished of this water. When told of these two
    strangers, they knew they must be Gebre Hiwet’s sons.

    They followed them to Segeneiti and begged them to return to Serae. The villagers asked for
    forgiveness and begged them to settle there, and they agreed to return after the seven years the
    community re-divided lands of Segeneiti.

    Their former lands and wealth were returned to them. But fearing another ambush, those
    who returned did not settle in one village, but spread around. They are found in Ad Gawel,
    Adi Hayo, and Ad Hawya of Serae villages.

    Now the clan have spread to other areas too, like Ad Zewabo, Wekerti and Enda Emmanuel
    villages. About 40 years ago, the Hawya, with the initiation of Aboi Berhane Gurumu (of
    Hawya tribe in Segeneiti, he told me of this meeting) met in Segeneiti and had a feast in
    Asmera. Hawyas from Wekerti and Inda Emmanuel were with them. But they did not
    continue after that. (Other tribes also ceased to meet when the Derg time came and it was too
    dangerous to move around). Enda Emmanuel village is mostly from the Hawya. In
    Segeneiti town there are several dozen farmers of Hawya now.

    As long as the mad dog ድያብሎስ! Isayas and HIGDEF are in Eritrea misery and death will continue.
The only solution is to get rid of crazy mad dog Isayas wedi Medhin Berad, his son, and his blind followers HIGDEF just like the Libyans did to Gadafi, his sons and his followers.
Eritreans should unite and get rid the tyrant mad dog Isayas, his son and his blind followers the HIGDEF.

    Dear Hagerawi , you tried a lot . Still I cannot let you go with a factual mistake . The time degyat Diebul was ruling is not 600 years only . I don’t know if it is a typing error .It is 900 years ago .I don’t know where you brought the statement that Anbesa jir belonged to a tribe called Jelewa. Anbesa jir was the son of king Merara Gebremariam, who was also the son of king Lalibala . King Lalibela belonged to the Zaguie dynasty .Zguiea dynasty was a continuation of the Axumite kingdom .There are people who claim that they are the descendants of the Anbesa Jir and through that the descendants of the Adkeme and Miligae family . You cannot tell them the story of their anscestors
