Sorry, You Do Not Belong Here!
Some doors do not open, not out of hatred-but out of truth.
In SORRY, YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE , a voice rises from Ethiopia-firm, unflinching, and steeped in centuries of memory. This is not a cry of hostility, nor the cold silence of indifference. It is the clear reasoning of a man who has seen suffering, carried the weight of history, and understands what it means to guard a land already heavy with its own wounds and prayers.
Through a series of reflections that move between heritage, faith, land, and identity, the narrator confronts one of the hardest questions of belonging: Can those uprooted by war and exile ever truly plant themselves in another's soil? With metaphors drawn from Ethiopia's seas, rivers, and mountains, and with comparisons to the Palestinian struggle for home, the book speaks to both sides of displacement-those who seek refuge and those who must decide whether to offer it.
This is not an easy book. It is bold, unsettling, and deeply human. It forces readers to think beyond politics and pity, beyond the rhetoric of charity or nationalism. It challenges the very idea of borders, not as lines on maps, but as living thresholds of culture, faith, and identity.
A work of passion and argument, SORRY, YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE reads like part memoir, part manifesto, part meditation. It asks hard questions that linger long after the last page:
What does it mean to belong?
Can a land carry the prayers of more than its own people?
And what happens when hospitality itself threatens to erase the host?
This book is for readers of cultural criticism, political thought, and literature of resistance-those who seek writing that does not flatter, but confronts.
Unapologetic. Poetic. Fierce.
SORRY, YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE will leave you shaken, challenged, and unable to see the world in the same way again.
