The tabia centre is in Migichi village, located approximately 13 km to the south-southeast of the woreda town Hagere Selam.
From the higher to the lower locations, the following geological formations are present:[1] The main geomorphic unit, with corresponding soil types is the gently rolling Antalo Limestone plateau, holding cliffs and valley bottoms.
[5] The drainage network of the tabia is organised as follows:[6] Whereas they are (nearly) dry during most of the year, during the main rainy season, these rivers carry high runoff discharges, sometimes in the form of flash floods.
For instance, in the rainy season the Inda Sillasie river, near its outlet, has an average discharge of 9 m3 per second, which amounts to 220 m3 per second during heavy storms.
Besides effects on biodiversity,[11][12][13] water infiltration, protection from flooding, sediment deposition,[14] carbon sequestration,[15] people commonly have economic benefits from these exclosures through grass harvesting, beekeeping and other non-timber forest products.
[21] The following exclosures are managed by the Ethiotrees project in Inda Sillasie municipality:[22] The tabia centre Migichi holds a few administrative offices, a health post, a primary school, and some small shops.
The following churches are located in the tabia: In the main villages, there are traditional beer houses (Inda Siwa), often in unique settings, where people socialise.
[8] The main road Mekelle – Hagere Selam – Abiy Addi runs 10 to 15 km northwest of the tabia.
[26] As compared to many other mountain areas in Ethiopia the villages are quite accessible, and during walks visitors may be invited for coffee, lunch or even for an overnight stay in a rural homestead.
