Rebuilding infrastructure in the west of Ethiopia’s Tigre region will cost about US $48 million dollars, the local administration said in a study. According to the study, the Eritrean army “totally demolished” 23 schools, 12 health centres, 41 private shops and hotels, 30 churches, 16 flour mills, 106 water pumps and eight government buildings, AFP said. The war left 126,000 people homeless in the region and damaged 13,000 homes, among the destruction of administration buildings. The study focuses on Badme, on the disputed border, which both sides fought over.
