They were found in his pocket after he landed and died in Italy, at the age of 22 on March 13th 2018; Time, you are a matter For those who love you and for those who are your enemies Without tiring, you make me strong, You teach me courage Every day that passes, the errors of men increase more and more But my people, my brothers, my sisters, One thing I can tell you: Nothing is unreachable, Whether you have a lot or nothing. ~ Tesfalidet Tesfom
