The city which had less than 400,000 people two years ago has seen its population skyrocket to 600,000 thus increasing housing demand.
Solomn Tadesse a public relations officer at the Tigray Urban Development and Trade and Industry Bureau told Capital that the increase is happening as people come to Mekele because of instability elsewhere.

“Due to the instability in some parts of the country many people who born in Tigray are coming to Mekele to secure a safe place for them and their family, this has led to an increase in housing prices as a government we have a plan, we are trying to register people for land and housing.”

Residents fear housing prices will continue their sharp rise if something isn’t done soon.A young man who requested anonymity said:
“With the growing population and lack of a proper housing strategy to meet the demand, Mekele’s rental market is not a level playing field. The majority of renters struggle to keep up with the pace and spend thousands birr in rent to secure a roof over their heads.”

People have been flocking to Mekele from other parts of the country and landlords have responded by increasing rental prices as much as 70 percent.People living in Mekele told Capital that a 175 square meter plot of land which would have cost 1.5 million birr three years ago now goes for over 3 million birr.In some locations such as Hawleti, 18 kebele, and Adi Shenhun landlords have increased their rental prices by at least 100 percent. One room that is five by four meters could cost 2,700 birr per month.
Residents who were paying 2,000- 3,000 birr for two room for residential housing are now finding landlords demanding 5,000 birr. Villa houses are going for 10,000 compared with 7,000 birr previously.

“As far as we know it is the basic law of economics wherever demand outstrips supply, the price of the commodity including houses rises and this is what happening. We always advise them to settle for what people can afford to pay,” he said.

It shows you the imminent of Tigray independent, this is the perfect anticipation or forecast of the general sentiment of our people around the world. No more Ethiopia in this planet, everyone is ready to declare their independent.

Ayte Halafi,

Are you able to comprehend what the article is all about? one fifth of people of tigrean identity are living outside of Tigrai and, they are the arterial lines for survival of Tigrai region. Now only a fraction of those people are flocking to Mekele and creating economic and social stress on the region that you proudly tell us day in day out to be the beacon of hope in that part of the world. I am only helping you see the reality of your country Tigrai, without much of the emotion that you and your friends seem to be embroiled with.

On another note, I have no problem for the likes of you to quarantine yourselves in the paradise that you built for yourselves by emptying the coffers of the country. I would only say good-riddance for you are the sources of all the problems in the wider region.
