May the people of Silte Zone prosper. I have friends in Lera and Werabe/Worabe and they invite me to come there all the time but I haven't had the chance yet because of a busy schedule. One love from a Somali brother.
"awfe bahuhaw" I share your hope to see more opportunities are provided to Ethiopian women in general that would change their lives for the better. I may add, alkeso is the birth place of my "paternal" grand father. When I visit home, inshaallh, pretty soon, that would be the first place I would go and see.
U know what your nick alkeso reminded me...The alkeso Mewlid...I was there for the mewlid some 14 yrs a go.And, I visited the then Worabe too.There were only 2 or 3 korkoro bets.Now it is completely an other city.I would like the lives of women could change as well.
in my previous comment, I have tried to associate wearing "Hijab" with most cultures in Ethiopia. When I said " most cultures", I meant in the context of women covering their heads other than religious purpose.
I agree with you on associating wearing "hijab" with culture not only for Siltes but for almost all cultures in Ethiopia. But I really don't share your view on "dignified" & "respectful" aspects of "hijab" to women as you put it. Are you implying that "Silte" women in particular and Muslim women in general, who don't wear "hijab" aren't dignified or respectful? Don't you think that is a little too extreme of a view not to mention "unfair" to your mothers, sisters and wives?
I couldn't agree with you more on the subject. I would think associating wearing "hijab" with "identity" or "culture" could be misleading. What I believe is society should leave the choice to women.
