It is a great pleasure to participate in the Africa Water Security Conference (AWS-2026) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
On the second day of the conference, I had the privilege of presenting our joint research, on behalf of all co-authors ( Asfaw Kebede K.(Ph.D) Juan Carlos Zamora Luria Abdulaziz Mohamed Christos Boufidis Matthew Griffiths Denys Grombacher) entitled:
“Enhancing Groundwater Investigation in Semi-Arid and Complex Geological Settings through Transient Electromagnetic Surveys: A Case Study in Dire Dawa, Eastern Ethiopia.”
This study represents the collective work of our research team, exploring the application of Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) surveys to improve groundwater investigation in challenging geological environments.
Beyond presenting our research, AWS-2026 has been a valuable opportunity for knowledge exchange, scientific dialogue, networking, and collaboration. The diverse sessions provided insights into groundwater and water resources, climate and hydrological modelling, water quality, climate resilience, nature-based solutions, digital technologies, irrigation, and transboundary water governance.
A particularly inspiring experience was listening to Prof. Assefa M. Melesse, PhD, PE, BCEE, BC.WRE of Florida International University, whose keynote highlighted 'From Data to Decision: Integrating Hydrological Science, Climate Intelligence, and Transboundary Governance for Water Security in Africa'
The conference has also provided an excellent opportunity to connect with researchers and professionals from different institutions, disciplines, and countries, opening possibilities for future research collaboration and professional partnerships.
I gratefully acknowledge the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark through the “Rapid Groundwater Resource Mapping Programme for Integrated Water Resource Management in Ethiopia – a capacity development programme for new and faster hydrogeophysical groundwater assessment technologies.”
My sincere appreciation goes to the ACEWM, Addis Ababa University, and the organizers of AWS-2026 for creating this valuable platform.
With one more day remaining, I look forward to continuing the discussions, strengthening connections, and exploring opportunities for future collaboration toward a more water-secure and resilient Africa.

The Unwritten Chapter

Today, on the final day of 2018 E.C., I stand at the threshold of a year I wish I could consign to oblivion.
2018 E.C. was never merely a passage of months and days. It became a year etched into the deepest recesses of my memory, where neither time nor distance will ever completely erase its presence.
You brought grief that words could not adequately articulate, and a desolation so profound that even the passage of time seemed incapable of diminishing it.
You taught me the most unforgiving truth of existence: that some losses are irrevocable, some absences are eternal, and some wounds do not disappear; they become permanent inhabitants of the soul.

There were days when sorrow became ineffable.
There were nights when memories became unbearable.
I witnessed things I wish my memory could forget.
I lost something that can never be restored.
And yet, I reached your final day.

2018 E.C, you left behind scars that may accompany me.
But you did not annihilate me.
So, on your final night, I bid you farewell.
Not with celebration.
Not with gratitude.
Not with the illusion that everything is healed.
I say goodbye with the quiet acceptance of someone who has endured what cannot be undone.
What was lost will remain lost.
What happened cannot be rewritten.

I will carry the memories, but not their chains.
I will carry the scars, but not the burden.
I will carry the lessons, but not the despair.
And when your final moments disappear into the past, I will leave behind everything that belongs to you.

2018 E.C., you were a chapter I never wanted to write, yet a chapter I was compelled to live.
Tonight, I close that chapter.
I cannot resurrect what was lost.
I cannot reverse what happened.
But I can choose not to remain imprisoned within you.
So farewell, 2018 E.C.
May you remain forever in the annals of my past, where your memories may exist, but your darkness no longer governs my future.
And now, I leave you behind.
