Ambassador Sultan Hanfar Alimirah was born in 1942 in Hinale Kebele, Asaita Woreda, Afar Region. As a child, he arrived in Asaita Arabia (now Mohammed Hanfarre High School and attended grades one through four.
He then attended 5th to 6th grade in Asmara, Eritrea.
After graduating, he went to various schools in Addis Ababa (Menelik, Tefari Mokonen, Kotebe) and high school in Egypt in 1960. He took a matriculation and went to Cairo University to pursue higher education. Similarly, in 1964, he moved to the United States and graduated from the American University of Washington, DC, with a degree in political science.
Sultan Hanfar has served in various capacities since childhood. In particular, he served as the head of the Asaita Woreda Administration, the Asaita City Cantiba, and the Asaita Agriculture Bureau.
Since 1961, he has turned his attention to politics and fought for the representation of the Afar people in the central government. He had good relations with Emperor Haile Selassie and many other leaders and conducted their own political activities at the palace. For a short time, he met with President Mengistu Hailemariam for eight consecutive months. Later, their allies, led by Sultan Hanfar, marched to Saudi Arabia to fight the Derg.
They have lived in exile for 17 years and have struggled. Sultan Hanfar Alimirah, one of the negotiators on behalf of the Afar National Liberation Front (ALF), was one of the negotiators during the May 13, 1983, negotiations between the Derg and the opposition in London.
He served as a member of the Federal Parliament, and in the 1987 election he became the President of the Afar National Regional State. He was instrumental in organizing the region and later served as Ethiopia's ambassador to Kuwait from 2000-2006, providing electricity to Afar and similar regions. In particular, the Afar Movement and the Afar Liberation Front (ALF), along with its friends, formed an organization that included two Afar youths in the struggle for self-government, with the support of the Eritrean Afar Youth in Djibouti, both financially, intellectually, financially, intellectually and intellectually. He is one of the leading heroes of the successful Afar people's struggle for the present generation of Afar.
Sultan Hanfar did not bow down to them, they did not bow down to oppression, they did not take advantage of them. He was a hero known for his personality and bravery throughout the Afar people, who did not like gossip and lies. Dr. Abiy was one of the citizens who came home peacefully the day after the election, when he argued about Afar's second foreign exile in protest of the TPLF's involvement in Afar politics during the TPLF regime. He was a veteran politician who fought against the TPLF and fought until the TPLF left the palace.
He was succeeded by his father, Sultan Alimira, in 2004 as a spiritual and cultural leader of Afar, who served the community until his death. Sultan Hanfar left behind two sons and five daughters on earth and passed away today at the age of 71. May Allah grant them Paradise. I wish comfort to his family and the people of Afar. By the will of Allah, I will present to you a book of testimonies that I took from his mouth at another time, quoting the testimonies of his comrades and friends. Once again, I wished the Sultan paradise and comfort for his family and our people.
