Our country, Ethiopia, is a wonderful country that has not lost its beauty for centuries and is still as beautiful and beautiful as it used to be. Our ancient country is home to a people who share the table of love, peace and unity.
The heroes of Adwa, our fathers and mothers, inherited the land of paradise that attracted the attention of the people of the world.
In the Ethiopian Julian calendar, on February 23, 1888, or at the end of February and early March, in the Gregorian Calendar, the treaty was signed at the same time, about 468 km north of Addis Ababa. Historical records show that the town was located at the foot of Mount Ambassel, in a place called ‘NigusYisma’ in Wollo.
“We have confirmed that the Ethiopian peasant army, which traveled from 100,000 to 120,000 barefoot, including 9,000 cavalry, defeated the European invaders trained at the military academy around 4:00 am on February 23,” said historian George Berkeley in his book ‘The battle of Adwa and Emperor Minilik II’ which was translated into Amharic by Dagnew Haile Selassie.
The victory of Adwa, in which our brave fathers and mothers barely defeated the modern Italian army, shines a light of freedom not only on Ethiopians but on all Africans. It is a place where the arrogant, the despised, the honored, and the yoke of impotence are removed. Adwa Victory Seals Ethiopian National Honor The struggle of the black people for freedom is at stake.
Adwa is the price of blood and bones. Yesterday, our heroic patriots of Adwa handed us over to a country that has shed its blood, broken its bones and longed for this people of the world. Today’s sacrifice is to serve our country sincerely and diligently. Our archenemy is the unifying force of poverty.
We need to follow in the footsteps of our Adwa patriots by using diversity for the victory of Adwa and work to use our diversity for national unity and national development.
As we celebrate the 125th anniversary of the victory of Adwa under the motto of “Emblem for National Unity”, we must do our part by preserving our national identity and achieving our path of prosperity.
Adwa lays the groundwork for young people to know their history and identity.Thus, young people are expected to pay tribute to the legacy of patriotism, unity, and adventure gained from the Adwa victory.
Young people should not only be proud and proud of Adwa’s victory, but also write a brilliant story of their own time and set a new era of their own.
Finally, Deputy Mayor of Dire Dawa, KedirJuharthanked the Office of Culture and Tourism and the Government Communication Affairs Bureau for their beautiful organization and coordination of this Adwa Victory Day celebration, which has given us the pride of the country.
