Tigray unrest

I wish that the bombings and unrest in Ethiopia's Tigray region and its capital town 'Makelle' stops and the region returns to normalcy. I fondly remember the friendly people, the cinema hall where I and my fellow teacher recruits from India had enjoyed watching "Noori", a Hindi movie and Abraha Castle, a Government run restaurant in Makelle, where I and Sebastian, my malayaalee colleague used to dine out, way back in 1982. 

Following are photographs taken during my stay in the region:

Let me share a picture post card that I sent to my beloved parents when I was teaching in Tigray:
