Abdissa Aga

Colonel Abdissa Aga was born in Welega. His
father lost his temper and killed his own
brother when Abdissa was about 12 years old.
Though he went as far as Addis Ababa to
appeal for the release of his father, he was
executed. Sad and embittered, he joined the
Ethiopian Army around the age of 14 and
fought against Fascist Italy in 1936 in Ethiopia.
He was captured and imprisoned in.............More Abdissa Aga

The last Pharaon & the first Roman Emperor

The last Pharaon of Egypt and the dashing Roman general
One of the most famous women in history, Cleopatra VII was the brilliant and beautiful last Pharaoh of Egypt. Although she is often portrayed as a femme fatale, Cleopatra was deeply religious and studied to be a nun. An accomplished mathematician and gifted linguist fluent in nine languages, Cleopatra was also skilled politician popular with her people.

She married her younger brother, Ptolemy, and she became the mistress of the Roman general Julius Caesar. Following Caesar's death, Roman general Marc Antony went to Egypt to advance the growing power of Rome. Cleopatra captivated Antony. Their affair scandalized Roman society and bothered Roman politicians, who were suspicious of Egypt's power.

Yet despite the risks, Antony and Cleopatra married in 36 B.C. The couple planned to conquer Rome. But in 31 B.C. the Roman general Octavian destroyed the combined forces of Antony and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium. Hearing a false report that Cleopatra was dead, Antony fell on his sword. With no hope left, Cleopatra induced a poisonous asp to bite her.

Four thousand years of glorious Pharaonic rule was finally finished. Egypt became a Roman province. Octavian (later Augustus) became the first Roman Emperor, launching a new era in history.

Annan Fetta?

'Annan Fetta?'
Amargna
With that her full moon-smile,
asked me
'annan fetta?' but,

At that moment, I did not know,
'got milk?' has been
what she really meant.

If did I understand the meaning then,
could've lit up my teeth &
replied, " cheese it."

And of course, " please" I'd say
"give me milk & millk is you,
that's it
that's all
what I want."

In the winter time

In the place where i came from:

roof-corrugated iron is being
knocking constantly with snow balls
And makes a noise ta ta ta ta ta.......

If a bald head man,
Taking a walk while it's snowing
tiny snow balls bounce up & down
all over his head
And makes a noise ta ta ta ta ta ta......

Winter time is the time for fresh corn
putting it on the fire
listen to that same noise
yes, of course
it makes a ta ta ta ta....'s noise

In the place Where am I living now:
winter & snow
as cold as hell
Firecly cruel
One should hybernate with alcohol
To escape from that troublesome winter
Blues here and there
surfaces to the air
No fun budy at all
until got kicked out by summer
and
No ta ta ta ta ta ta.....
it's just a silent &
noiseless winter.
