		Adigrat received a lot fewer tourists than the towns I’ve been staying in and it felt more authentic.

	Bishop of Adigrat on Border Ruling
		As the Catholic Bishop of the Eparchy (Diocese) of Adigrat, Tigray, I wish to state that the territorial jurisdiction covers the whole of the Tigray State.
		Parishes belonging to this ecclesiastical jurisdiction, the Eparchy of Adigrat, which were founded from here over 100 years ago and whose national status has never been questioned nor doubted, would be sliced off.
		This represents a totally arbitrary and undemocratic proposal by the Border Commission, as not once has either members of the Commission or their delegates taken the slightest trouble or shown the slightest interest in consulting those who would be so adversely affected.

		The most numerous cluster of churches, a group of about 30, is carved into the rocky faces of the mountains in the Gerhalta region.
		Most churches can be approached in a 4x4 (which you can hire in Addis, or else fly or bus to Mekele and arrange to have your vehicle meet you there), though as they tend to be on cliffs you will always have to walk the final stretch.
		They can be approached by foot or public transport and are most likely to be of interest to visitors with time restraints or who cannot afford a private vehicle and are not geared to long hikes.

	Tigray Evacuees December 98
		With the hosting capacity of local communities having reached its limits by September, the new movements led unavoidably to the establishment of makeshift camps at various locations along Tigray’s northern belt (the official displacement figure was 315,000 by mid-December).
		At the time of the mission’s visit Adigrat, the capital of Eastern Zone, still presented the picture of a busy town: shops and restaurants were open; at the REST warehouse the regular food distribution to displaced people was going on; at a fuel station many people were seen queuing for kerosene; public transport was available.
		By the same token, it was noted with some consternation that people in the immediate vicinity of Adigrat were living in caves in appalling conditions without sufficient blankets and other shelter materials when the required materials should have been readily available.
