Life is slowly returning to normal in Mekele, days after federal forces retook control of the Ethiopian city. Shops are reopening and banks have resumed operations, but shortages, rising prices and months of unpaid salaries continue to weigh on residents.

Many are struggling to afford basic necessities, while a shortage of cash is making it difficult for pensioners and other customers to access their money.

Residents say their priority is not who controls the city, but lasting peace, economic recovery and the restoration of essential services.

With the TPLF leadership having left the city, residents hope the latest change in control will bring stability and allow families to rebuild their lives.
