ADDIS ABABA — Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, in a heartfelt message to Muslims on the eve of Eid al-Fitr, emphasized Ethiopia’s commitment to mending historical divides and enhancing national unity. Celebrating the peaceful conclusion of Ramadan, Ahmed highlighted the period as a time of generosity, mutual support, and a demonstration of Ethiopia’s multi-national unity, setting a precedent for the country’s path forward.
According to Ethiopian News Agency, the challenges faced by Ethiopia have fostered lessons of resilience and unity, essential for overcoming future obstacles.
Ahmed drew parallels between the virtues cultivated during Ramadan and the broader national ethos Ethiopia aspires to embody — encompassing peace, forgiveness, and love. He underscored these values as the foundation for Ethiopia’s vision, which aims not only to bridge historical gaps but also to foster multi-national harmony. This vision, Ahmed asserts, is pivotal to achieving prosperity across all facets of Ethiopian society.
