Addis Ababa: Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has conveyed his best wish message to all Ethiopian Christian faithful for the Easter holiday that is going to be celebrated by tomorrow across the nation.
In a message he shared on social media, the premier said every year, we celebrate the sufferings of Jesus Christ endured during the Holy Week, before the feast of His Resurrection.
His crucification, death and resurrection, symbolized His triumph over hell and the grave.
Before the feast, we observed the Holy Week, witnessing wailing, temptations, sufferings, betrayal, unity of the evil ones and pains Jesus Christ received.
Comparing Ethiopia’s unprecedented challenges with the sacred days of the week, Prime Minister Abiy expressed optimism that would resonate widely in the country.
He strongly believed that Ethiopia has the power to overcome challenges and its long awaited brightest day will come.
Expressing belief that Ethiopia could be challenged, Abiy noted we are convinced that our journey will not be easy
in our endeavour to heal the centuries old fractures and failures of the country.
In this regard, the prime minister mentioned the backlogs of problems that have been inherited from the past specially, in the spheres of fiscal policy, agriculture, manufacturing, foreign policy, national unity, and in other sectors.
Acknowledging Ethiopia is endowed with immense wealth and strong leadership, the premier vowed to work hard for the betterment of the country and realize its aspiration.
