Subdivisions of Eritrea explained
See main article: Regions of Eritrea, Subregions of Eritrea and Administrations of Asmara.
Eritrea is divided into six regions (zobas) and subdivided into subregions ("sub-zobas"). The geographical extent of the regions is based on their respective hydrological properties. This a dual intent on the part of the Eritrean government: to provide each administration with sufficient control over its agricultural capacity, and to eliminate historical intra-regional conflicts.
