During his tenure at these institutions, Memher Ibrahim is fondly remembered as a dedicated and exemplary educator and as a high impact librarian.
Memher Ibrahim was an enthusiastic person with strong will to overcome challenging situations. He was gifted with excellent interpersonal skills, listening and writing ability.
More importantly, he was someone who dedicated himself to make a contribution to improve the situation in his native land, Eritrea. He was dearly loved and admired by everyone who had the good fortune to know him. His infectious smile and soft-spoken manners, will forever be remembered by all those who knew him, and particularly by all GI members.
His loss is a serious blow to all justice-seeking Eritreans and more so to the members of the Global Initiative to Empower Eritrean Grassroots Movement.
