GENERAL COMMENTS
Le'ul (Prince) Asfa-Wossen Asserate was born in 1948 in Addis Ababa,[1] where he attended the German school[2] and received his "Abitur". He went on to study law, economics and history at the University of Tübingen and at Magdalene College, Cambridge. In 1978, he was awarded a Ph.D. with honours in Ethiopian history at the University of Frankfurt am Main. In 1974 the Derg takeover in Ethiopia made it impossible for him to return to the land of his ancestors: His father and 60 other dignitaries of the Imperial Government were executed without a trial and all the members of the Imperial Family were held in kith and kin detention for more than a decade by the Derg. The Derg is the military junta that toppled emperor Haile Selassie.
