[Ethiopian Herald] Ye Gulelew Sekaram in Amharic or 'The Drunkard of Gulelle' is officially recognized as the first modern short story in Amharic literature which was written and published around 1946 by Temesgen Gebre, a little known Ethiopian writer and a patriot during the war of resistance against Italian occupation of Ethiopia. He was a patriot who fought against Italian fascism in 1936 and spent most of his life in a somber northern district of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.
