A group of savage Arabs were sticking their something on your mouth and bloody azzzz for weeks and Isaias was not hearing the sad cries of your wife and children in the Cairo prison.
Do you need help from other Africans? Oh! I mean from your Arab Muslim brothers?
Is Fiyamta, tarik Jeberti and deqi Arawit still bleeding in their azzziz?
First aid is coming from Ethiopia? You said, no. You mean, you only love and trust the Arabs.
No worries, your mouth will heal soon, but your bloody azzzi will take time until your godfather Issaias dies.
