[Addis Standard] Addis Abeba -- Scenes of ululations, tight hugs and kisses, prayers, tears and gasps. These were emotions visibly displayed when civilian passengers on board Ethiopian Airlines' first commercial flight in over two years landed in Mekelle, the capital of Tigray regional state, on Wednesday 28 December. The flight landed at the city's Alula Aba Nega airport in the afternoon. Some were seen kissing the ground as they landed in their homeland, the scene of "world's deadliest war."
