Muhammad Abdalwali

Muhammad Abdalwali (1941–1973) was a prominent Yemeni writer of Ethiopian descent, and one of the earliest authors in Yemen to adopt writing for artistic purposes rather than for nationalist agendas.^[1] He authored a dozen short stories and two novels.

His parents were from Ethiopia; his father was a republican revolutionary who opposed the Imamate. Abdalwali graduated from the Gorki Institute in Moscow and was a communist.^[1] Given his Ethiopian heritage, many of his works dealt with Yemeni immigrants and exiles and the fate of Yemeni-African marriages. His novel You Die a Stranger, for example, is about a Yemeni national who opens a small shop in Addis Ababa but long has a desire to return home.^[1]
