First of all I would like to express my condolences to his family, friends and all of us about his passing. I knew Afewerk Abera in adigala 1969 where we both teached elementary school in this small town next to shinile where I served edget behbret. We had great times and lots of fun with him and others, he was a great, thoughtful human being, will be missed by many! As i watched today Yonas reading what ato Afewerk wrote before he passed away, I was eager to hear more about his adigala memories, infact we had suffered from the war between Ethiopia and Somalia which took place in adigala may 1969 where we both along with other teachers wounded but luckily survived and transported to Aysha by military convoy and then flew to diredawa by army helicopter. Since then never saw him, but I always wondered where he could be!! I wish I could have seen him before he passed, very sad! May God rest his soul in peace! Surafel
