The people of Ethiopia are an extraordinary and remarkable people. Other than the Creator, who can truly know and assess our people in their entirety? Through this yearโs election, Ethiopians have once again shown the world that they are a people with a rich culture, deep patriotism, and the ability to safeguard the common good.
On this historic day:
* Citizens who were not intimidated by the cold and darkness of the night,
* Who were not deterred by the midday sun or sudden rain,
* Whom weddings, funerals, childbirth, and other social obligations did not prevent from participating,
* Who were not wearied by long lines,
* Whose physical disabilities did not stop them from casting their vote,
* Those whose illness and old age did not prevent from witnessing the hope of their country,
* Who were not exhausted by carrying their infant children; the future inheritors of the nation,
* And above all, whom the shouting and threats of enemies could not intimidate or stop;
The perseverance you demonstrated amid many challenges and hardships, against all odds, was a contribution made for democracy and for the very survival of the nation. For this, you deserve heartfelt gratitude.
It is a privilege to serve such a people. Therefore, may those who have been elected honor the trust placed in them and serve this people, with integrity and sincerity! A people who have paid a great price for the democratic system. May you be worthy of that responsibility.
Ethiopia will hold its elections on June 1. With over 50 million registered voters, this event is one of the largest civic engagements in Africa. This election represents a significant step toward the democratic Ethiopia we all aspire to see. Ethiopia Decides-Ethiopia Wins!
Over 50.5 million registered voters!
Ethiopians do not require external validation or foreign praise to perform miracles.
This independent drive to secure our own governance is the purest form of modern patriotism. ๐ณ๏ธ #Ethiopia#ModernPatriotism#CivicDuty
What happened to The Economist??? Why do you suspend all your liberal principles when it comes to Ethiopia???
In a traditionally authoritarian political culture with a dirigiste mindset, a free-marketeering, reform-minded leader of a multiethnic party is making economic strides, while battling supremely chauvinistic ethnonationalist paramilitaries.
This is the basic context that you have replaced with a dumb caricature of the African strongman.
#Ethiopia continues strengthening democratic institutions and expanding civic participation. Attempts to discredit the upcoming election through smear campaigns will not distract citizens from exercising their constitutional rights peacefully and responsibly. #BewareOfFakeNews
Ambassador Massinga's recent trip to Bahir Dar demonstrated the United States' lasting commitment to peace, security, and prosperity for the people of #Amhara.
Hear what he had to say about his trip and how it illustrated our priorities in the region.
