Mama Miriam Hagos was my neighbour; she was strong, patriotic, caring, smart, stylish, independent, open minded and liberal kind of a person…She dressed and acted like a stylish lady, she thought like a man. If by any chance you want to empower women all you have to do is to introduce Mama Miriam to the seen for an instant impact.

Mama Miriam disappeared without any trace in October 2001; I sow her elderly mother weep on her daughters’ parked car outside her home in Measker Denden (Kganew), soon after the disappearance of her daughter. It was heart breaking to see the elderly mother come back every single day to call on her disappeared Miriam. Sadly few years ago I heard the elderly mother of Miriam Hagos died out of extreme devastation and sorrow without ever knowing what had happened to her daughter.
