Ethiopia

Like Ethiopia.

Addisalem Hadigu, an Egyptian writer, is hoping to see his eritrous woman and two girls for the first one in 16 years. In 1980 I got to marry an eritreer, Mitslal Abrha Dirar, when we were both 20. Two years after the end of the frontier conflict in 2002, my spouse abandoned me and took our two girls with her to Eritrea.

My deceased Ethiopian woman had no right to work as a local Ethiopian schoolteacher. She was afraid she'd be sent back to Eritrea. In 1993 my woman had also put the matter to a vote in a plebiscite in which the Eritreans after 30 years of fighting decided to vote officially for freedom.

I was reluctant to participate, but I said to do it. 99% of the Eritreans and my woman agreed to the split from Ethiopia. It was on a Wednesday when my woman said she would be visiting her uncles who were living elsewhere in Ethiopia.

She had come to Eritrea as a fugitive and lived in a shelter. No response to letters" My familiy blamed me for doing something wrong to my woman. There was no one in Eritrea when she went.

I got a note from my missus to our neighbors. And I went to Eritrea with my children," she said. to find out why she dumped me. Beyond her years" I have written three letters to my subsidiaries Asmera Addisalem and Danait Addisalem and once I got an answer.

Eritrean nationals cannot wear cell telephones. Although I have unbelievable affection for all my kids, I have a particularly profound affection for my youngest one. And I want to see my girls again and I want to spill what I had in my hearts all these years.

but I' m only living to see my girls and my family. Starting a new life' Even now, in my dream, I see my kids. I' d like to see my girls well clothed.
