00:09It's another sign of life returning to normal after Tigray rebels briefly seized the city.

00:25We've returned to our work so what we want to see is peace improving even beyond this.
00:33Since everyone is a seeker of peace, everyone wants to do their work peacefully, go home and grow and prosper.
00:44Mkele's capture by the Tigray forces ignited fears that the region could return to conflict.

01:41Eritrea called the accusation a declaration of war.
