His life as a civil servant in Ethiopia was
beyond dull. It was, in his own words, “lifeless.”
He imagined there must be more beyond the
ancient Abyssinian borders. As a single man, he
had no obligations to anyone. His parents would
not miss him, nor would his age-mates at the
mosque. He set off for the border of Kenya…
convinced things could only get better. Better to
be an alien in paradise than a prince in shackles.
Or so he thought.
