Ahmed Mohamed Al-Johari passed away on June 24 in Ayssaita, Afar Region, Ethiopia. He was a towering figure in Afar poetry and a pioneer of modern Afar music.

He continued his musical contributions until 1967, when he moved to Addis Ababa to lead the newly established Afar-language program on the Voice of Addis Ababa’s external service.

Above all, we will remember him as an icon of Afar music and a dignified gentleman—a man who left an indelible mark on both our cultural and political history.
