A picture worth 1,000 words. ❤️
After two wonderful months in Riyadh, we had to leave rather suddenly, without my husband. It was a long, exhausting journey from Bahrain to Addis Ababa and finally home to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.
On our Ethiopian Airlines flight, we all fell fast asleep. When I woke up, my four-year-old daughter was missing from her seat. I found her a few rows ahead, fast asleep in the arms of a lovely flight attendant named Lydia.
She had woken up crying and confused, and Lydia, not wanting to disturb me, had picked her up, comforted her and rocked her back to sleep. My little girl stayed there for the next three hours.
In the middle of a difficult journey, this beautiful act of kindness meant the world. Thank you, Ethiopian Airlines, and especially Lydia, for reminding us that kindness and humanity know no borders. ❤️
A Pre-Tana Forum Dialogue was held today in Bahir Dar under the theme “Navigating a Changing World: The Role of Diplomacy and Dialogue in Advancing Peace and Security in Africa.” The event emphasized the importance of African agency, dialogue and diplomacy in addressing the continent’s peace and security challenges.
Delivering opening remarks on behalf of Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos, Chief of Staff Adam Tesfaye highlighted the importance of dialogue amid rapid geopolitical shifts, global fragmentation and uncertainty.
He noted that navigating the changing international landscape requires Africa to champion its own solutions, reinforce African agency and rely on durable instruments such as diplomacy, dialogue and mutual trust.
Mr. Adam also emphasized the interconnection between economic sovereignty, development and peace and security, noting that lasting peace and stability require African countries to build economic resilience through regional integration, industrialization and trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
He further underscored the importance of platforms such as the Tana Forum in fostering strategic dialogue, strengthening trust, developing a shared understanding and advancing coordinated, African-led approaches to addressing the continent’s peace and security challenges.
Highlighting Ethiopia’s longstanding commitment to collective security and peaceful coexistence, he reaffirmed that dialogue remains the only viable path to durable peace and security.
The dialogue brought together diplomats, scholars and other stakeholders to assess changing global and regional dynamics, explore the role of preventive diplomacy and inclusive dialogue, and discuss the contribution of platforms such as the Tana Forum to advancing practical approaches to peace and security in Africa.
The Pre-Tana Forum Dialogue precedes the 12th edition of the Tana High-Level Forum on Security in Africa, scheduled to take place from 23 to 25 October 2026 in Bahir Dar under the theme “Pathways to Peace in Africa: Economic Sovereignty and Geopolitical Transformation.”

The 19th National Flag Day
“Our Flag for National Consensus and Unity”
National unity is the foundation of Ethiopia’s path to prosperity. Our national flag symbolizes our shared history, sovereignty, and the strength we draw from standing together in our diversity.
At Adwa, people from all parts of the country put aside their differences and stood together, capturing the attention of the world. Rather than being divided by adversity, our ancestors demonstrated the power of unity. The call to stand together has never ceased, and each generation must choose how it will respond.
Medemer poses a simple question to us all: Are we merely spectators watching our nation’s destiny from the sidelines, or are we owners who can say, “This is my country, and its future is of concern to me”?
Our languages, religions, and identities are strands of a single fabric, woven together through centuries of shared history. Standing for the nation begins with small acts of courage and requires working toward a vision that goes beyond ourselves.
The generations before us made sacrifices so that we could inherit this country. Today, we must strengthen it together and pass it on to the generations to come..
Therefore, ask yourself today: What will you contribute to the unity and prosperity of your country?
