Mammo Wudneh (1931-2012) was a playwright, journalist and President of the Ethiopian Writers’ Association. He was actively involved as a peacemaker between Ethiopia and Eritrea working on an interfaith committee chaired by Abune Paulos, the Patriarch of the Tewahedo Church.
Early life
Mammo Wudneh(ማሞ ውድነህ) was orphaned during the Second Italo-Abyssinian War when the Italians bombed his village, Bashagia in what was then Wollo Province. By chance he later met one of the pilots who took part in the raid that killed his family. In a moving encounter the playwright forgave the pilot.
