If I am not mistaken I think to have met this woman herself as a young man, already during the Derg reign after accompanying a close family member to their family house in the capital and who was the families good acquaintance due to his own political engagement. I was too young to have paid any attention to the conversations between the two, but still was told it was all about a politics (liberation).
