Autobiography of Lt. General Jagema Kello was published a few years ago entitled “Yebegaw Bebrek.” He was one of the few surviving Ethiopians who fought against Fascist Italy. He passed away aged 96.
Amharic poem is composed to honour his bravery and patriotism.
“ያ ጃገማ ኬሎ ያ የኛ አንበሣ
ሐገር ደማች በሉት ምን አልባት ቢነሳ።
It could roughly translate as follows”
In case he wants to abandon his grave and rise
Let Jagema kello, our lion, know that Ethiopia bleeds
that it needs his defense
