Ermias Ayn Ekulu

Listeners' Tales

Available for over a year

Ethiopian Ermias Ayn Ekulu describes how the listening to the BBC altered his view of women. "Network Africa is my favourite programme, and I was listening to it when I heard this proverb: 'A bird rests on the tree of her choice'. The first thing that came to my mind was every one of us has a moral obligation to respect how free human minds should be - particularly the minds of women."
