Senafe is a market town located in southern Eritrea, at the edge of the Eritrean highlands. It is known for its cultural and religious significance, with surrounding areas inhabited by the Saho and Tigrinya peoples. Historically, Senafe appears on a 1454 map and was noted by explorers like James Bruce and Clements Markham in the 17th and 19th centuries. The town grew under Italian rule but was heavily damaged during the Eritrean War of Independence and the subsequent Eritrean–Ethiopian War.
