Congratulations on the 130th Adwa Victory Day. The victory of Adwa is a victory that showed the unchanging strength and power of Ethiopians. Ethiopians have an unchanging position on the national interest, independence and sovereignty of their country. They will use all their abilities to plant this position on a firm foundation. Systems and leaders can change; They may have differences in some cases; Their position about their country and what they spend for their country will not change. Not all of our heroes who marched to Adwa agree with everything. They had the same purpose, not the same. They had one country but not one culture and faith. At that time there were gangs who betrayed their country and flew with the enemy. There were also those who sold the long-term interests of their country for the sake of temporary gain. There were also brokers who sided with Bada. Our brave mothers and fathers fought not only against the invading Italian army. Not only from villagers, gangs and country brokers. Patriotism means conquering bad and bad. Patriotism means defeating personal interests for the sake of the nation. Patriotism means sacrificing one's honor for the sake of the country. Adwa victory festival is where we remember all these. Just as the Adwa Victory Festival revealed the power and strength of Ethiopians, today is the time to show the full power of Ethiopia. We must reveal the potential of our country in agriculture, industry, tourism, mining and digital. To repeat Adwan's victory in all fields, Ethiopia's power must have a solid foundation. It increases the capacity of the country. Builds capacity. It makes the country strong. It strengthens her position. It will advance the country. It crosses her position. I hope that our Adwa Victory Day will be a time when we will build Ethiopia's strength and strengthen the position of Ethiopians. May Ethiopia be proud of her children's efforts and live forever!! May the Creator bless Ethiopia and its people! February 22, 2018
