መጋቢት 24 ፣ 2018 በኢትዮጵያ የዘመናዊ ፖለቲካ ታሪክ ውስጥ ልዩ ስፍራ የሚሰጠው ቀን ነው። በዚህ ቀን የተደረገው ሰላማዊ የስልጣን ሽግግር አገሪቱን ከተጋጠመባት ውስብስብ ፖለቲካዊ እና ማህበራዊ ፈተና በማላቀቅ ወደ አዲስ የተስፋና የለውጥ አቅጣጫ እንድትገባ አድርጓል።

ይህ ታሪካዊ ክስተት የአንድነት፣ የህብረ-ብሔራዊ ትስስር፣ የእውነተኛ ወንድማማችነት እና የብልፅግና ጉዞ አዲስ ምዕራፍ መጀመርያ በመሆን ሁሌም ይታወሳል።

በተጨማሪም፣ ሰላምና መግባባት የዘላቂ እድገት መሠረት መሆናቸውን በግልፅ ያሳያ፣ ልዩነቶችን በውይይትና በተቋማዊ ሂደቶች መፍታት የዴሞክራሲ መርሆዎች መሠረታዊ መሆናቸውን በተግባር የተረጋገጠበት ነው።

በመሆኑም ይህንን ታሪካዊ ቀን በመዘከር ለአገራችን የተስፋ ዕድል የሚያጠናክር አንድነት፣ የተቋማዊ ጥንካሬ እና ዘላቂ እድገት ለማረጋገጥ በጋራ መትጋት ይኖርብናል።

Megabit 24 (April 2, 2018) marks a pivotal moment in Ethiopia’s modern political history. A day defined by a peaceful transfer of power that set the nation on a path toward renewal and transformation.

It stands as the beginning of a new chapter shaped by unity, national cohesion, and a shared pursuit of prosperity. Above all, it reaffirmed that peace and mutual understanding are the cornerstones of sustainable development, and that dialogue and strong institutions are essential to democratic governance.

As we reflect on this day, we renew our collective responsibility to strengthen unity, reinforce our institutions, and advance a future grounded in hope and progress.

በመድረኩም፣ ኢትዮጵያን መርጠው የሚመጡ የውጭ ኢንቨስተሮችን ለመደገፍና ለማበረታታት መንግስት ያለውን ፅኑ ቁርጠኝነት አረጋግጫለሁ።

Ethiopia is emerging as a leading investment destination, driven by its commitment to enabling policies and the creation of attractive opportunities across priority sectors.

“Invest 2026” was officially launched today, convening global investors and fostering strong cross-sector partnerships, in the presence of H.E. Temesgen Tiruneh, senior government officials, and distinguished business leaders.

At the forum, I reaffirmed the Government’s steadfast commitment to supporting investors who choose Ethiopia.

The deportation of Solomon is an important step toward accountability for individuals who promote violence & ethnic persecution. No one who spreads hate, calls for genocide, or supports armed groups targeting civilians should be allowed to misuse safe havens abroad.

[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement @ICEgov]

ETHIOPIAN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR, PARAMILITARY MEMBER & GENOCIDE INFLUENCER DEPORTED

Criminal illegal alien Solomon Bogale was denied immigration benefits and ultimately deported to Ethiopia March 5 by our Phoenix officers after ICE discovered numerous social media accounts where he openly identified himself as a member of Fano, a Tier III terrorist group.

Bogale’s posts called for persecution and violence against Tigrayans by “cleansing” them from Ethiopia.

Since 2003, ICE’s HSI-led Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center has deported 1,178 known or suspected human rights violators and war criminals.

Four months ago, in the desert pearl city of Dire Dawa, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs laid the foundation stone to construct 20 houses for our vulnerable citizens as part of the Winter Volunteer Service Program.
Today, in the presence of H.E. Dr. Gedion Timothewos, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and H.E. Kedir Juhar, Mayor of the Dire Dawa City , we officially inaugurated the completed, comfortable residential houses and handed them over to the beneficiaries.
In addition, we left our green legacy by providing financial support and educational materials to rural female students in Dire Dawa.
