A Letter from Ethiopia: Abebe Bikila's Gravesite
Dear Jay Jacob,
I have gone to the church where Abebe Bikila was buried.
It is found in the Eastern Part of Addis Ababa. at a place called Nifassilk.
The church is Saint Joseph Orthodox church.
(The) most famous Ethiopian people are buried here.
Abebe Bikila's grave is found in the center of the graveyard.
(The first picture is the monument.)
The last picture is the church where it is found.
Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago, unknown people tried to steal the statue
that is found at his grave place, and when I got there,
the monument was already brought down, and it was fenced with plastic for maintenance,
and also it was prohibited to take any pictures.
So I had to use my mobile phone and take the picture.
I tried to get many pictures, but I was caught by the guard, and I had to stop.
Regards,
N
