  Ethiopia’s sovereign prestige benchmarks our forefathers’ patriotism: FM Taye

Ethiopia’s sovereign prestige is drawn from the selfless and gallant patriotism of our forefathers. The sovereignty of countries have constituted in legal form from the II world war onwards while Ethiopia’s sovereignty has rock-solid historical background and has been handed over to generations.

Sovereignty is freedom and it is demonstrated by institutions and authorities solely vested by the people. Ethiopians all along the past have paid invaluable sacrifices to maintain its process of nation building. Ethiopian forefathers, through their gallant fight against colonialists, have made Ethiopia the emblem of black people’s struggle for freedom.
