Bekele geleta wikipedia

His name is Bekele Geleta, Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). I have already told his harrowing story [read here].

I interviewed Bekele Geleta, Secretary General of the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies.
