Aligider is located ten kilometers to the west of Teseney and was home to the Barattolo cotton plantation where Hedareb tribes and 1500 ex-fighters and their families farm cotton, sesame and sorghum. Aligider is an old Italian frontier village, still containing a few Italian relics, but the village was extensively sacked by the Ethiopian forces in 2000 in their campaign to sabotage the Eritrean economy.
