Repairing and painting one's house has been banned in Asmara for the past 16 years. Look at the painting in my old neighborhood. It is hilarious how some cousins tell me that they had workmen in the house at night to repair their kitchen. Apparently they call it black market repairs

Hard to believe Sarco is from my old neighbourhood. Anyhow, thank you for the post. It was a travel thru the memory lane in the streets where I played soccer and basketball in WeWekma. The church in Enda Silassie where I and my siblings were baptized. The schools where grandfather and father attended in the old Scoula Vitorio, and where I attended the Qidus Paulos and the Agazian elementary schools.
I am not surprised it looks old and dilapidated, given 40 years of wars out of this the last 24 years were embargoes and sanctions. The good thing is that it is still bustling and not dead, as many of us thought.

My folks tell me once we lived in edaga arbi - enda gebriel area. regardless of conditions of the area and the city, the residents always walk with pride and dignity. It's an amazing contrast. Human spirit is unconquerable. That's what Asmara and Massawa residents taught me last time I visited.

Thanks for sharing Sarc

This just shows that agames born and/or raised in Eritrea are the worst enemy of Eritrea and the Eritrean people..... It means there are levels within agames when it comes to the degree of excessive hatred agames have to Eritrea and the people of Eritrea.. The agames who were fed by the people of Eritrea hate Eritrea the most ... Even though all agames are the worst enemy of Eritrea and the people of Eritrea :oops: :twisted: :mrgreen:

Now, I dare you tell us what has been going on in your beloved Tigray :roll: :roll: :roll:

I (Sun) guess that he/she has only two simple opposing answers to your nice question, that is to say:

1. "We are the indomitable,omnipotent, omnipresent, unbeatable, unwinnable, etc. who may start any war be it on land, on air, on the sea, engaging all Ethiopians, Eritreans, Africans, Arabs and the whole world and defeat them all as if there is no tomorrow." FULL STOP!

2. "We are in deep [deleted] having no where to turn with all types constant and ongoing increased genocides being willfully perpetrated on us as if there is no tomorrow or after tomorrow. Rolling all over the dirty wet western streets and shouting "down, down, down Ethiopia, baabbaa Buddeen, baabbaa Buddeen please hurry up and save us from the genocide not even visible to the naked eyesight." FULL STOP!

Sarco,
Right, the unique mosaic art in the school facade that depicts our true history of 4000 years that includes artifacts from Adulis, Qohaito, Yiha, Axum ... was very beautiful.
Hardly surprised for most kids in our neighborhoods attended the elementary schools in Agazian, Qidus Paulos or the private Swedish Lutheran School. It is likely you may had attended classes with one of my siblings or with me in Agazian. I was told recently, the poet Haile Bizen was few class grades ahead of me. If you remember her, my classroom teacher for two years was the indefatigable and the caring diligent teacher Memhir Gimja. She was a guiding light to many of us thru her encouragement and uplifting stories.

You must have sharp memory, you remembered a teacher's name from your elementary days. I don't remember any of the teachers' names from my elementary school. You probably are talking about the baltna (home economics) teacher who lived local. I also remember a brilliant disabled (I think - polio ) teacher who thought us Amharic and Science. I never came across Haile Bizen's poems. I just googled him now.

I don't know if you know but they have changed the name of the school to Bahti Meskerem (September 1st) after Awate's day. I am sure Awate deserves a school to be named after his day but, I don't understand why they wanted to get rid of a historic name that lasted thousands of years? I know tegadelti who named their children born in the struggle "Agazit". So if the name is good enough for their children, I don't understand why they thought it is not good enough for a school. Apparently people still call it Agazian as we continued to use KehaZ and Luel Mekonen instead of Keih Bahri and Asmera Hafeshawi.

Thank you, this is an astounding mosaic art that beautifully summarizes the first 2500 years of our history.
I think the artist Sanguineti did a remarkable job with this everlasting monumental work of historical art.
As far as I know, there is none equivalent or better work than this in Asmara in its class.

It's a sad video to watch, let's pray together for the people in Massawa and Asmara.


Asmara has an estimated population of 5,000 inhabitants, However, 99.99 percent of the lovely population in Asmara lives in uninhabitable houses and I am not making this up, it is true, Asmara is very old Italian city and 99.99 percent of Italian buildings built before 1950 contain asbestos cement materials.

Older buildings containing asbestos cement materials can pose a serious health hazard to residents.

You are worrying way too much about the state of buildings
in Asmara more than the Eritreans themselves.
No Eritrean cares if Mekele has skyscrapers or if its buildings are ruined.
