I was born in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia on December 1st 1978. I am the second son of my parents. When I was a baby my father left us and went to war
frontier in the east of Ethiopia. Since then all of the responsibility was on the shoulder of my mother and she raised us without our fathers involvement.
When I was in the elementary school I had been involved in schools mini media club as a journalist. Since then love of literature and philosophy was developed in my heart
and mind. Before graduating from Ginbot 20 residential high school at 2001, I joined Fortune, a local weekly newspaper as sales and marketing promoter until 2002.
