The award-winning Eritrean poet not seen for almost 20 years
The family of the Eritrean poet Amanuel Asrat who won the 2020 Pen Award for International Writer of Courage, say they welcome the award that's been given to him. Mr Amanuel has not been seen or heard from in nineteen years, since he was arrested in his homeland. He was the editor of the newspaper Zemen at the time. We hear from the poet's brother, Daniel Asrat Mebrahtu.
