Arkiko
Arkiko (alternately Archigo, Arqiqo, Ercoco, Hirgigo, Hargigo or Harkiko) is a town in the Northern Red Sea region of Eritrea. Situated on the Red Sea, it lies on the mainland across from the island of Massawa.
==Overview==
Arkiko is also known by the name Dahano, from either the Saho or Afar word for "elephant". Richard Pankhurst explains this etymology to the importance of the ivory trade to Arkiko.〔Richard Pankhurst, ''The Ethiopian Borderlands'' (Asmara: Red Sea Press, 1997), p. 104〕
In 1826–48 (during the Ottoman period, but not the phase under de facto Egyptian rule), parts of Eritrea were ruled by the Naib (or deputy) of Arkiko, according to some sources part of the time cumulating with the office of wali (regular military governor) of Massawa, the present capital.
This town was the site of a terrible massacre by the Dergue military junta in Ethiopia in 1975, during the Eritrean War of Independence. Also located in this town is Eritrea's largest power generation facility. This facility was partially destroyed during the Eritrean-Ethiopian War, but has now been fully repaired.
