has described Ethiopia\u2019s two-winged special airborne forces, recognized by their distinctive red bonnets as embodying \u201cpurpose in one wing and discipline in the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The remarks were delivered during the closing 65th anniversary celebration of Ethiopia\u2019s Special Operations Command, held with grandeur at Hawassa International Stadium today.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony was attended by senior military officials and members of the defense establishment, alongside Prime Minister Abiy, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the gathering, Premier Abiy characterized the elite operatives as \u201cexceptional gifts of Ethiopia,\u201d reflecting the nation\u2019s culture, language, and identity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese heroic figures are not just fighters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cThey (the elite forces) are champions who bring an end to war while proudly waving the green, yellow, and red flag of Ethiopia, a symbol of African freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emphasizing the long-term vision for a sustainable and enduring institution, the Prime Minister highlighted the role of the Special Operations Command in building and safeguarding Ethiopia while contributing to national transformation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEthiopia\u2019s strength lies in the dedication of its children,\u201d he stated, reaffirming the country\u2019s commitment to preserving dignity, sovereignty, and freedom for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Peace and prosperity across Africa remain central priorities, he added, noting Ethiopia\u2019s continued aspiration to serve as a protective shield for neighboring nations.<\/p>\n<p>From Somalia to Massawa, he said, Ethiopia seeks to promote regional stability, prevent terrorism, and foster shared development.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with advanced technologies, the elite airborne forces are designed not only to defend the nation but also to address strategic regional challenges, Abiy noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister extended congratulations to East African countries and the broader continent, describing the force as a contribution to collective security.<\/p>\n<p>He underscored that the core mission of the unit is to preempt conflict and terrorism, enabling swift and decisive responses to emerging crises.<\/p>\n<p>Reaffirming the Special Operations Command\u2019s commitment, PM Abiy said it would continue to uphold the honor of the red bonnet, the national flag, and Ethiopia\u2019s dignity, building on a legacy of service in both domestic and international missions.<\/p>\n<p>Through the integration of modern technology and disciplined training, Ethiopia\u2019s defense forces, he concluded, remain a reliable bastion of peace for Africa, continuing a tradition of resilience and regional engagement.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #td_uid_1_69dccd89d5010  .td-doubleSlider-2
