Aklilu Lemma (Amharic: አክሊሉ ለማ, aklilu lämma; 18 September 1935 – 5 April 1997) was a distinguished Ethiopian scientist. In 1989, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award "for discovering and campaigning relentlessly for an affordable preventative against bilharzia."

Lemma was educated at Addis Ababa University College and at Johns Hopkins University, USA, where he obtained his D.Sc. in 1964. His dissertation was on sandfly-borne leishmaniasis.

Following his doctorate, Lemma returned to his home country, Ethiopia, where he obtained a position at the then Haile Selassie I University. aHe founded the Institute of Pathobiology, now known as the Aklilu Lemma Institute of Pathobiology, and taught there until 1976, when he left it for a job in the United Nations. He served the UN in many capacities as a scientist, became the Deputy Director of UNICEF's International Child Development Centre, now known as UNICEF's Innocenti Research Centre and finally obtained a position in his alma mater,&

donkeys for transport, and so on. Over eighty percent of the Ethiopian people have never used oil as fuel. These people cannot miss what they have never had. The energy crisis, as we see it today, is really a problem for those who are dependent upon it.

Another factor which has been bothering me for some time is the following. Take a developing nation, like my own. We want to set up some industries, and the developed countries assist us. They sell us, let us say, machinery based on the use of modern energy, oil or a byproduct fuel. Those who sell us the modern machinery are well aware that in thirty years or so the kind of energy that makes the machines run will not be available anymore. On top of this, between now and the time that we will all be running out of oil, the price is increasing rapidly. It will skyrocket, even. Afterward, what happens? And this is not all.

The prices will go up. Therefore, whatever we produce in the future will be a lot more expensive. The rise in prices will accelerate even further.

What happens after the energy is used up? The developed nations p

Aklilu Lemma

Ethiopian pathologist (1935–1997)

Aklilu Lemma (Amharic: አክሊሉ ለማ; 18 September 1935 – 5 April 1997) was an Ethiopian pathologist.^[1] In 1989, he was awarded the Right Livelihood Award "for discovering and campaigning relentlessly for an affordable preventative against bilharzia."^[2]made his most important scientific discovery very early in his career in 1964 when he discovered a natural treatment to schistosomiasis also known as snail fever or bilharzia. He found that berries from the endod plant, which is commonly used to make soap and shampoos in many parts of Africa, is a potent, inexpensive and safe molluscicide, to prevent the spread of the parasitic worm. This discovery made the plant an object of scientific research in many parts of the world.
