Adwa victory opens gates of freedom for our African brothers, sisters: Deputy PM

Addis Ababa, March 2, 2022 (FBC) – Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister, Demeke Mekonnen congratulated Ethiopians and Africans at large on the 126th Anniversary of the Victory of Adwa.

In his congratulatory message, the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister said that many of Ethiopia’s enemies repeatedly tried to violate its sovereignty and independence, but none of them succeeded.

Thanks to the freedom-loving sons and daughters of our country, we successfully resisted all of the attacks and stood tall and proud throughout our long history!

“We were able to stay free because we chose to unify our forces and solidify our strength, and there is no other testament to that than the victory of Adwa,” Demeke said.

“We celebrate Adwa not only as a Victory Day against tyranny but as a day that opened the gates of freedom for our African brothers and sisters by inspiring anti-colonialism struggles,” he underlined.

Ethiopians today are firm to preserve the independence of their country, guided by the spirits of the success of their forefathers and mothers, Demeke underscored.

“Unity was the key to breaking free of the chains of oppression, but it also is indispensable to grow and shine together,” he added.
