Addis Ababa, October 2, 2022 (FBC) – Ethiopia is home to people with their own indigenous traditions and vibrant culture, said Abbaa Gadaas who celebrated Irreechaa, Hora Harsade, in Bishoftu.

According to Abbaa Gadaa Gobena Holaa, Ethiopians are people with their own indigenous traditions and vibrant culture.

He recalled that, on October 1, Irreechaa colorfully celebrated at Hora Finfinnee in Addis Ababa City, where people from different ethnic groups attended, regardless of religion, gender or anything else.

He said that the Abba Gadaas travelled from Tulema Abbaa Gadaa’s office to Hora Harsade, Bishoftu.
