New Title:
Abdulkader Saleh Mohammad: A Memoir
A Challenging Eritrean Life Journey

This book presents the challenging life story of an Eritrean academic. It mirrors the political developments in Eritrea, and it reflects the dire conditions that he and other Eritreans faced in the diaspora by vividly describing his journey through Egypt, Germany, and Libya, back to Eritrea. Due to political repression, he finally had to return to exile in Norway. The author portrays the violent clashes that occurred in the Eritrean highlands during the 1950s, and life in the western lowlands in the borderland to Sudan prior to the independence struggle. Abdulkader’s life journey mirrors the tragic political developments, the challenges, but also the resilience of Eritreans over the past seven decades.

New Title:
አብዮታውያን በነገሥታት ዙፋን ላይ
ተካልኝ ገዳሙ

Read at face value, this book can be taken as a life story. However, the underlying aim is to explore, through the guise of a life story, what kind of country Ethiopia was when the author was born, the life of its people, the interconnectedness of its society, its cultures, its administration, and particularly what the plan to modernize the country, designed by Emperor Haile Selassie, looked like, what results it brought after time passed, the beginning and course of the Ethiopian Revolution, then in what condition our country is today, what can be said about its future prospects, and whether the situation that awaits us is something we can control or an invincible force of history that moves on its own. The main focus, therefore, is not on my life but on Ethiopia.

Mr. Tekalign Gedamu was employed in July 1959 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York within the Industrial Development Department. After working there for about two years, he transferred to the Addis Ababa branch office and served for eight years in various positions as an economist. Later, upon the recommendation of Tsehafi Taezaz (Minister of the Pen) Aklilu Habtewold, he served as a department head in the Ministry of Planning and Development, which was led at the time by Minister Haddis Alemayehu. Subsequently, he had the opportunity to lead the ministry and served his country for nine years until the revolution. Following that, he was assigned to various leadership positions at the African Development Bank for over sixteen years and was recognized at the time for making a significant contribution to the bank's growth. Upon returning to Ethiopia from the bank's headquarters in Abidjan (Ivory Coast), he collaborated with individuals like Mr. Debebe Habte Yohannes, Hailu Shawul, General Tafesse Ayalew, Temesgen Mehari, Tamiru Wondimagegnehu, and others who were establishing Abyssinia Bank. He accepted the responsibility of General Manager and served for about seven years. He is one of the early leaders who enabled Abyssinia Bank to reach its current level of success, and his name is mentioned alongside the current CEO, Mr. Bekalu Zeleke, and some shareholders as someone who developed the bank. The ninety-one-year-old Mr. Tekalign is a father of three and is currently living his retirement in Philadelphia (USA).

Kush/Cush and Cush*tic: Language, History, Race, and Religion offers a multifaceted examination of the term “Kush/Cush” and its related concepts, drawing from historical, linguistic, and cultural perspectives. In the realm of historical linguistics, “Cush*tic” is employed to describe a hypothetical language family within the Afroasiatic phylum. This term may also be used to refer to the people who speak these languages. However, there is often confusion between this academic usage and the ancient kingdom of Kush, which is frequently referred to Nubia in historical works. The confusion extends to the usage of the same term in Biblical texts. The book delves into the history of the Kingdom of Kush, the Biblical usage of Kush/Cush, and the so-called Cush*tic languages, offering a nuanced discussion of these intertwined topics.
