🇪🇹 A New Era for Ethiopia: Building the Future Beyond Victory
My fellow Ethiopians,
Our history is a story of courage, resilience, and unshakable pride. The world remembers the triumph of Ethiopia — a nation that stood firm when empires sought to break its spirit. The victory at Adwa was not merely a military success; it was a declaration that the soul of Ethiopia can never be conquered.
But, my brothers and sisters, history is not a destination — it is a foundation. We honor our past, but we cannot live in it. The question before us is no longer how we defended our freedom, but how we will now define our future.
Today, Ethiopia stands at the threshold of a new chapter. The challenges before us are different, yet just as great. The wars of our generation are not fought on the battlefield — they are fought in classrooms, in laboratories, in our farms, and in our hearts.
We must defeat poverty with innovation.
We must conquer division with unity.
We must overcome despair with hope.
Let our new struggle be for progress — a progress that uplifts every citizen, every region, and every dream. Let us build an Ethiopia where the young are not merely inspired by the past, but empowered to create the future.
Our ancestors wrote history with their courage.
Now, it is our duty to write history with our vision.
When the generations to come speak of us, let them say:
“These were the Ethiopians who turned victory into development, who transformed pride into purpose, and who built a nation that stood tall — not only in memory, but in modernity.”
May our unity be our strength.
May our progress be our legacy.
And may God bless Ethiopia — today and forever.
