But the term Asmarino was coined to my father who was much older than Osman.
My dad, was an elegant 6 languages speaker, 6”4’ in height, very handsome, first the head of Gindae’s police dept then Massawa’s police dept and finally Asmara’s traffic police chief.
He was well known not only in Asmara but in Eritreain general.
And we his kids were never called by our names. We all, were called Wedi Seyoum Gual Seyoum or Deki Seyoum.
I actually believe the ‘Wedi’ like Wedi Afom or other ‘Wedi’ someone is coined after my father’s name.
I have a very secret I want to tell about how my dad, was contemplating to kill the midget Sellassie for he was the closest traffic police officer to him when the cobwebbed, ugly, midget sellassie used to visit Asmara, specially during the evil British Queen Elizabeth visited Asmara. He was the officer on motor cycle in the front of the midget and other dignitaries who visited Asmara.
Of course then we didn’t like it for our dad will be dead too, (we were children) but now come to think about it and since my dad passed away with old age, I wish he fulfilled that agenda in that era.
His then sacrifice would have saved Eritreafrom all the miseries Eritrea
went through.
