Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed shares Ethiopian Christmas wishes

Addis Ababa, January 6, 2024 (FBC) – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) has extended his greetings to all citizens on the occasion of the Ethiopian Christmas (Genna) holiday to be celebrated among Ethiopian Christians on Sunday in commemoration of the Nativity of Jesus Christ.

“The birth of Jesus Christ is a moment during which two extraordinary things happened. Firstly, the anticipated phenomenon happened in unexpected manner; and secondly, the unexpected ones appeared to exist in a place where they had not been expected to come to,” the Premier noted.

During the time of prophets many read and heard about the coming of Jesus Christ. But, they expected the Nativity of Jesus Christ to have occurred in a palace or a home of wealthiest people. No one had expected the Birth of Jesus Christ which transformed the world and human beings to have occurred in a humble manger. Due to this, the world itself fell asleep when its narrative was changing in a spectacular manner.

Things that change the history of the world and a certain country as well might not happen in an expected way, the Prime Minister remarked.

In his message, the Prime Minister underscored that it is not possible to address existing problems through a vicious circle like accustomed manner.

The Prime Minister further called on the faithful to contemplate the way the world is transformed and weigh the path to their future apart from enjoying the blessings they get through the birth of Jesus Christ while celebrating the holiday.
