The Mekele Martyrs' Museum

I did visit the Martyrs' Museum in Mekele, Ethiopia (40bir). It is quite a large complex, with a Soviet helicopter, jet fighter and library. The museum is filled mainly with photos and artefacts (guns, radios) of the Tigray Front's fight against the Derge (Mengistu's regime). Although some signs were in English, I did not find the historical succession of exhibits easy to follow. There were some pleasant coffee places near the assembly hall.
