History
Born March 14, 1981 in Asmara, Eritrea. Father (Haile) is a government employee, mother (Ariam) a housewife. Jodit's father was
a fighter in Eritrea's 30-year war with Ethiopia which culminated in the defeat of Ethiopian armed forces and Eritrea's
independence on May 24, 1991. Jodit grew up in Eritrea's capital, Asmara, and was able to avoid the poorer conditions of
the villages located outside the big city. At 18 years of age and still attending school, she was called by the
Eritrean government to join the compulsory National Service. A fervent supporter of President Isaias Afworki, she
joined the army in Sawa (a large training camp) and was released after 6 months with distinction.
Joined the EDF (Eritrean Defense Force) in 1999 to fight the Ethiopians as renewed conflict escalated along the border.
Jodit speaks Tigrinia, Amharic, Arabic, English, and Italian. She married an Italian engineer but was not
allowed to leave Eritrea by the dictatorial government. Gave birth to a son, Dawit, in 2002.
In February 2004, rejecting a new wave of news about a resumption of war with Ethiopia, she joined a rebel
group under the name of the Eritrean Young Democratic Front (EYDC) which eventually overthrew the government on July 18, 2005.
She subsequently took up a post in the new Ministry of Justice.
In 2009, Jodit returned from an assignment in Sudan as hostilities once again erupted with Ethiopian forces seizing the
coast of Eritrea. Because the previous dictatorial government was supported by the United States, Jodit
rejected the idea of requesting help from Americans as part of the U.N. military response to aid Eritrea.
Initially reluctant to work with the Ghosts, she has slowly become impressed by the
professionalism and determination of the Ghosts to defend her homeland. However, when questioned by locals about her
decision to work with the Ghosts, she prefers to smile and talk about her son, Dawit, leaving the question unanswered.
