He presents a compelling narrative of the internal struggles he faced when confronted with ethical dilemmas that frequently plague political movements. His willingness to scrutinize the actions of both his colleagues and his own choices underscores his moral strength. His fervor for positive change and his unwavering commitment to his principles permeate the pages. Clearly, he is a person of integrity and honesty, and these virtues are the driving forces behind his actions and decisions throughout his political career. This book transcends one man’s experiences; it serves as a reflection on the universal struggle for a better world through political avenues. Semere Solomon, Senior International Development Expert   Within the pages of the memoir, I find a vivid portrayal of my friend, a kaleidoscope of multiple identities and a true citizen of the world. As I read, his colorful personality leaps of the pages, seamlessly weaving through various interactions with both simplicity and profound impact. Even in the grit and determination of a fighter, I glimpse the chic demeanor that was typical of him- a touch of style amid the most challenging circumstance. Each chapter paints a dynamic portrait of a man whose life was testament to the enduring power of authenticity, commitment, and deep abiding love for humanity. Salome Taddesse, Social activist, First Female General Manager of the Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency. It celebrates a life lived in the true sense of the word. His family history, recounted from the arrival of his great grandfather to Asmara from Tigray as a commander in the army of Ras Alula, twinkles reflecting the complex and rich history of Tigray and Eritrea of the twentieth century. These firsthand accounts will likely become a treasure trove to historians for years to come. The rare insight provided by Jamaica’s authenticity is matched by his impassioned reporting of events fraught with highly partisan perspectives. Like many figures in history before him he embraced his choice with joy and passion, there is no hint of regret in his path. His humanity lingers through all the pages, from his distress at the fall of his comrades in the pitch of the battle, to the longing of his father who was jailed for being the parent of a rebel, to his tenderness for his wife, children and grandchild. Like his life, Jamaica’s recollections will leave the readers wanting more. Dr. Isaias Irgau, MD, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS)

Jamaica’s narration of his activities in life is quite interesting. In this book the way he has
accounted his life history fascinating and many people including posterity will enjoy it. The
Appendix on ‘Overview of The Ethiopia-Eritrea Conflict’ has added some zest t..
