What is your biggest fear?
The possibility of national disintegration and state collapse
What was the brand of your first ever mobile phone?
The unbreakable Nokia, but I don’t exactly remember the model
How long do you spend on your phone?
I usually do not want to spend more than five minutes on a single call. But since I have to make and receive between 40 and 50 calls a day, I spend three to four hours every day.
Which foreign meal/food did you not like after tasting it?
I am very reserved when it comes to food. I don’t want to eat anything different from what I am used to.
Where do you want to go on earth before you die?
Jerusalem
What is your biggest regret?
I don’t really have any regrets. I only do what I really want to.
If you got a chance to have dinner with a prominent person, with whom would you choose to have that supper?
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD). I missed the opportunity to attend the state dinner he hosted for the Beautifying Sheger project.
