A TRUE STORY OF ABDUCTION, TORTURE, YEARS OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN ETHIOPIA AND VINDICATION
About The Author
Andargachew, a British citizen of Ethiopian descent, is a
philosopher whose passion for the subject stems from his profound
personal experiences.
Enduring the loss of loved ones, imprisonment, torture, exile,
and the collapse of his familiar world, he was compelled to explore
the essence of humanity and the meaning of life.
His philosophical journey, driven by an existential need to
maintain mental health amid chaos, led him to politics, activism, and
extensive writings in his native language.
For Andargachew, human freedom and the freedom of others are
central to life.
