Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said despite the enormous difficulties Ethiopia has been going through, renaissance of the country is certain and in the hands of its people.<\/p>\n
The premier made the remark in his greetings to Ethiopian Christians on the occasion of Easter that marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
In his address to the faithful on his Face-Book page, Abiy said \u201c we celebrate this year\u2019s Easter holiday in the midst of hope and struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n
In this regard, he noted that Ethiopians are on the one hand looking forward to the renaissance of their country, fighting hard to overcome the challenges that lie ahead on the other hand.<\/p>\n
Even if the renaissance of Ethiopia seems bizarre and far-fetched today, it will not stop the resurrection of the country. It may take time for all of us to see this truth and prove it with our own hands, but it will definitely happen, the premier underscored.<\/p>\n
According to him, the 6th upcoming General Election in June is one of the milestones that will prove Ethiopia\u2019s renaissance as the people have yearned democracy for a long time. In this regard, Abiy said the path through which Ethiopia passed was dark and full of turmoil, pain and death.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we have learned from the resurrection of Jesus Christ that there will be a resurrection after death, joy after suffering and light after darkness. As we look forward to the success of our country\u2019s democracy, we have reached the top of the mountain where the light is shining,\u201d the premier elaborated.<\/p>\n
The PM added that Ethiopia is in the final stages of completing the construction of its Grand Renaissance Dam built with sweat and the people have been eagerly waiting for this to materialize. \u201cWe are (therefore) looking forward to the second round filling of the dam this upcoming rainy season.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Ethiopia get closer to its goals and the realization of its hope, the challenges have been strong, he noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must not however forget that our challengers will not hesitate to throw the last stone that disrupts us\u201d as we struggle to conduct the upcoming election and complete the dam successfully, Abiy stated.<\/p>\n
Bandits, as witnessed these days, are threatening the country\u2019s journey and doing their level best to prevent the resurrection of Ethiopia. They are carrying out their devilish mission by killing innocent people and displacing them from their homes.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, \u201c no matter how many times they beat Ethiopia to death, they will never succeed in killing it. They want us to slow down and stumble over the resurrection. However, the renaissance of the country is inevitable as was the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the premier stressed.<\/p>\n
He finally wished Ethiopian Christians across the country a happy Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that will be celebrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
