Comment on The Forgotten Pioneer: Akalework Habte-Wold’s Vision for Ethiopia by Habte Jebessa Debella

Dear Editor,
H.E. Mr. Akaalewold Habtwold established a legacy that will last for millennia. He made a paramount contribution to Ethiopian conservation by championing the creation of the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Organization (EWCO), which evolved to EWCA, when the country had little foundation in wildlife science. He is famously remembered for his humble appeal to the UNESCO General Assembly in 1963, which led to the establishment of Ethiopia’s national parks. As we approach the EWCA’s 60th anniversary in 2026, it is our hope that his foundational role will be rightfully honored.

You are right on target in describing miqegnet but you are wrong in thinking it is solely an Ethiopian disease. It is found everywhere where there are human beings. I am an Ethiopian- Canadian Professor teaching at one of the well known universities in Canada but my colleagues most importantly the head of the department started to to treat me as an enemy because I happen to have publications, most of them books coming out every now and then. Whereas publications of faculty are exhibited in windows near the department, through the actions of the chair, my books were deliberately kept out of sight. At one time, when we were ordered to exhibit our books to the public he deliberately assigned me a place complitely hidden from the visitors. Shame on him, I have now published three more books. You should never give in to Miqegnoch. Doing so is to satisfy them. Lo and behold the guy is transferred to another university and my books now adorn the department windows.I hope he would not commit suicide when he revisits and sees a dozen books to my name.

Aren’t we paying 200,000 birr per year? Other international schools are paying 9000$ at Sandford and 7500 euros per child at German school. It’s an international school, how do you expect to attract international teachers with this kind of tuition? Any random school without the caliber of Lycee is charging double the current tuition amount these days.

This article muddles the water when mixing lies with real issues the school has. Yes, the school must address the question of teachers pay, racial discrimination, transparent audit process, or any other issues we parents may have. But this kind of fabricated stories will deter us from having real discussion and address the real issues with the school.
