Tesfaye Gebreab Speaking for Justice in Ethiopia
We talk to the renowned Eritrean journalist and editor in the Ethiopian printed press. In Eritrea, however, amongst his fellow Eritrean citizens, he is mainly known for his books and his attachment to the Oromo ethnic group. Tesfaye Gebreab journalist and author, has written eight books –historical novels, true stories, short stories, and memoirs. His latest book, ‘Ye Nurebi Mahder’, ‘Nurenebi File’ has gotten a great notice from local and regional readers as he pens a hundred year long story of Eritrea and Ethiopia. Even though Tesfaye writes in Amharic he receives admiration from Eritrean readers.
- -A small introduction of yourself please.
I was born on August 28, 1968 in Oromia, in the town of Bishoftu. My parents were Eritreans who in the 1950’s, migrated from Menedefera, Eritrea, to Ethiopia. I worked as a journalist in the past, but at the present time I am a full time writer. I have authored more than eight books.

Alemseged Tesfay in a sense is Eritra’s Chinua Achebe, born in 1944 in Adi Quala, Alemseged is widely known for his Historical Narratives, Novels, Essays and Dramas. Heavily influenced by the fact that he couldn’t find any Literature written by Eritreans in his studies abroad, Mr. Alemseged has in many ways than one, had dedicated his life to creating what he couldn’t find in his younger years as a student, Eritrean Literature, written by Eritrean. Alemseged’s most widely read book, Aynifelale, the first of what was going to be a three volume historical narrative of colonial Eritrea, a lifetime spent in perfecting a well-researched and documented History of Eritrea from 1941 to 1950- was first published in 2001. His first book, in my perspective, is rightly held as a modern Eritrean masterpiece. Alemseged in all his written master pieces showed, writing our history is a powerful tool in the fight to regain ‘what is ours, the Eritrean Identity!
Alemseged’s third volume, Eritrea; From Federation to Occupation and Revolution, after a long wait, was inaugurated this past Friday at the G3 hall at Expo Grounds in front of a pact audience, which I was lucky enough to attend. The ground might had been fully
