Eritreans who were expelled from Bahir Dar by the TPLF regime 20 years ago receive their Iqub money with interest. Iqub is a rotating saving and credit type association whose members make regular contributions to a revolving loan fund. When it was their turn to receive their savings, the Eritreans were already expelled. The Iqub members kept the money and gave them the money including interest when they came back.
