Great person with positive attitude . In his interview with
BBC he stated that we may differ by thought but not by
nature . Like the late singer John Lenon song ; ” GIVE PEACE A CHANCE ” , our brother Fezum is promoting
for unity and peace inside our country and beyond with
neighbors .
I wish him success and recognition at higher level for
his talent .
Truly Truly I say to you November 27, 2013
Wodi- Vacaro that has brought positive wind of change, it seems starts to restore the former Eritrean with dignity and proud filled positive image that has Isayas stolen and buried . this is why like the bible says; It is nice to see wonderful decent, intelligent, competent human citizens like Wodi Vacaro, Kibrom Dafla, Wodi Tikabo, and now this singer Fitsum Sebhatu. Little by little; Eritrea is on a way smelling Eritrea,when the hidden decent citizens becoming on forefront that is known in former good time.
The bible says; “When good men come to power, everybody celebrates, but when bad men rule;like wicked Isayas people stay in hiding. (Proverbs, 28; 12, and 28)
