 Amazingly, the only exception to this comes from an Amharic writer, not an Oromo.This writer called “Theodros Mulatu’’ , who was Mohammed Zakir’s schoolmate, eloquently portrayed “Meyra” as an outstanding hero in his semi-fictional book titled “አኬል ዳማ” (read as Akel Dama, meaning "the Bloody Land").And truly speaking, it was his legacy that moved more and more Oromo youths of Gelemso and the whole of Chercher region to join the national struggle.
