6. Such construction work is invariably uneven in Tigray. For example, the main road from Adi Ahferom to Inticho, perhaps the worst in the province, was constructed entirely with voluntary labour, and the peasants in this area were talking openly during the course of my visit of holding demonstrations to press the TPLF to begin improvements immediately.

Those reassigned included Sebhat Nega, Abai Tseheye, Siye Abraha, Abadi Zemo, Yemane Kidane, Teklowini Assefa, Hassen Shiffa, and Tewdros Hagos according to e-mail correspondence from Yusuf Reja, Chairman of the Tigray Development Association, Washington, DC, 26 June 1995. Such transfers are less surprising when it is appreciated that a number of TPLF leaders did not take up posts in the EPRDF administration in Addis Ababa after 1991, but stayed in Tigray where they sometimes held minor positions.
