Gojjam, by most accounts. He studied at the monasteries of Debre Elias, Debre Werq and Dima Giorgis. He graduated in qiné. 📚 THEN Consul in Jerusalem. Ethiopia's UN delegation. Foreign Minister, 1960 to 1961. Ambassador to Britain. Minister of Planning. In July 1974 he was the Derg's first choice for prime minister. He set conditions; the general carrying it reported a refusal. 📖 AND THE BOOK ፍቅር እስከ መቃብር — Love unto the Grave, published in the 1960s. The novelist Sahle Sellassie, reading it for Heinemann, called it "the longest Amharic novel so far written (about 106,000 words)" and said "The language is clear and beautiful." It is not a love story. Underneath the romance runs a harder line about a nobleman and his tenants that ends in a peasants' revolt and his humiliation. Wax and gold, at the length of a novel. 📺 AND IN 2024 A four-season, 48-episode adaptation premiered on EBC. The budget figure everyone quotes is an uncited Wikipedia line, so it is not here. 🔍 AND THE LITERATURE IS NOT ETHNICALLY AMHARA Tsegaye Gabre-Medhin, who translated Hamlet into Amharic, was part Oromo. Baalu Girma, who wrote Oromay in 1983 and disappeared the next year, was the son of a Gujarati father and a mother thought to be Oromo. Mengistu Lemma, who wrote the first modern Ethiopian comedy, was born in Harar and went from a church school to the London School of Economics. Amharic became a language capacious enough that the country's best writers used it whatever their blood. That is the opposite of an ethnic possession. ‖ A boy learned to improvise poetry in Ge'ez at a monastery in Gojjam. ‖ Sixty years on, the country is still paying to film what he did with it. #Amharic #Ethiopia #EthiopianLiterature

🚨 He is trying to destroy Ethiopia 🚨 Abiy Ahmed is not protecting Ethiopia—he’s serving foreign interests while our nation bleeds. The UAE profits, Ethiopians suffer. #Ethiopia #NationalCrisis#AmharaGenocide #WarOnAmhara #AmharaGenocide @UNHumanRights @UNGeneva @UNOSAPG
