very interesting, thank you for bringing the issue to attention. what you heard and saw is true. I was among the first high school teacher there. there are a lot of things to tell, missed from the 4min video. Indeed, Pawe is a modern city with intention of modern agriculture, city and industrialization. But TPLF destroyed because of the negotiation it had with Egypt and Sudan. There are still people who can witness what happened. Later the distraction is intensified because of the ethnic conflict

Just to top up on your article, my father was one of builders of the city of Pawe, as an employee of a subcontractor of Tana Beles from Salini.

He was the first person to set out the first structure.

He has information about Pawe from inception till destruction. I can let you know about the information phase by phase I'm glad to find your article.

Thank you so much! It would be great if you record his story or write it. There must be a lot of fascinating encounters and stories around that place. It could be a book or even a movie. And I would love to hear it, and write more about it
