Africa-Press – Ethiopia. Civil society organizations (CSOs) operating in the capital have reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the final phases of the Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission’s mission, emphasizing that building national consensus is the only path toward bequeathing a better Ethiopia to the next generation.

Our association has already coordinated with the academic community to submit essential agendas that serve the national interest,” Dinkalem stated.
He added that establishing a civilized dialogue framework today is essential for ensuring that the next generation inherits a peaceful and democratic nation.
Similarly, Girma Zewde, Secretary General of the Yeka Sub-City Inter-religious Council, noted that building the values of sustainable peace is a daily duty for religious institutions.
He explained that the Council’s goals are deeply intertwined with those of the Commission, and they are working hand-in-hand to promote agendas that strengthen the social fabric of the country.
Girma pledged continued active participation to ensure the successful completion of the Commission’s remaining tasks.
Sofia, a member of the Addis Ketama Sub-City Chamber of Commerce and Sectoral Associations, also highlighted that a refined dialogue system is a prerequisite for national development.
She affirmed that the business community is ready to play its constructive part in supporting the Commission’s efforts to find lasting solutions to historical national challenges.
