He was a son of a farmer in rural Gara Muleta.He was among the very few young Ethiopians of farmer family background to rise to the position of high government rank through his educational achievement. He played an important role in the forming of the Organization of African Unity, the predecessor of the present-day African Union.

Nice interview and well articulated and precise answer from the veteran diplomat( Ketema yefru).
Knowledge gives confidence and fluency; and Ketema Yefru demonstrated both with stature and eloquence !!
May God bless his soul !!
