Rest in peace brother. You were an excellent speaker and visionary for your country.
What a loss for Ethiopia.
What a shocking news! I am not involved in the political arena… Just heard the bad news today from old friend of mine. Rest in peace brother. You are indeed a man of integrity. May God comfort your wife and children. #ShambuMatriculation #AAU #SidistKillo #SilverSpring #MedhaneAlem
