In a poignant moment for the journalistic community, the venerable Genene Mekuria (Libro), a stalwart in the field for over four decades, has bid adieu. Recognized for his profound insights into sports and a wealth of general knowledge, Genene left an indelible mark on the media landscape. Throughout his illustrious career, he showcased his expertise in sports reporting, seamlessly blending it with a broader spectrum of information and cultural narratives. His written works, radio broadcasts, and television programs, including stints at Zami FM, FM Addis, Bisrat FM, and Asham Television, demonstrated his captivating and articulate presentation style. In 2009, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) bestowed upon him the prestigious 60-year Gondal of Merit Award, a testament to his significant contributions to local sports. Remarkably, Genene stood as the sole recipient from East Africa among a select group of six distinguished journalists to receive this honor. Born on March 5, 1957, in Yergalem, Genene was not merely a journalist but a connoisseur of merging sports and history. His meticulous approach, supported by a trove of evidence and documents, earned him the affectionate moniker "The Moving Library." Despite undergoing medical treatment, Genene Mekuria has left this world today, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered for his unparalleled dedication and passion for the convergence of sports and knowledge.
