Berul is a town located in the southern part of the northeastern African country of Eritrea, administratively part of the Gash Barka Region. It is located in the interior plains of Eritrea, near the border with Sudan, and has an arid and hot climate typical of the Sahelian landscape.
The semi-desert terrain around Belor is dominated by a population that is mostly nomadic or semi-nomadic, mainly engaged in animal husbandry and a small amount of dry farming. The towns are small and the population is made up of predominantly Tigrinya and Kunama ethnic groups, which retain their traditional tribal cultural practices.
As a distribution center in the border region, Belor serves as part of the cross-border trade in livestock, grains, and handicrafts. The town is connected to the main Eritrean city of Tesseney and the capital, Asmara, by dirt roads, and transportation infrastructure is relatively rudimentary.
Belur was an area of armed activity during Eritrea's War of Independence (1961-1991), and remnants of the war's fortifications are still visible. Border trade has gradually resumed in recent years as Eritrea's relations with Sudan have eased, but overall development remains constrained by water shortages and inadequate infrastructure.
Note: Based on publicly available information, there is limited information on the towns in Eritrea known as "Belor", and the above is based on the general characteristics of the border towns in the south of the country. For more precise data, it is recommended that the Government of Eritrea statistics or the United Nations geodatabase be consulted.
