- Kombornia used to
be picture-perfect pastoral village, huge majestic linden trees
surrounding an ancient wooden church, owls hooting at dusk..
- The village is still there,
stripped of trees and character, unique wood architecture replaced
by drab cinder-block slums, a sad result of parochial vandalism
and official indifference.
- The squat brick structure
of the new church towers over the main crossroads, visible from
miles, surrounding trees no longer hiding its soap-warehouse
silhouette.
