She stated that the contribution is made to support the IDPs in Amhara Region and the army in the war front.
Adanech said, “The Amhara people in collaboration with the country’s joint forces are sacrificing their lives in the fight to safeguard Ethiopia and Ethiopians.” As to her, the people of Amhara are withstanding the incursion by the terrorist TPLF in solidarity with the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) and other local allies.
According to the Addis Ababa City Press Secretariat, the mission of the delegation is to show that Ethiopians stand by the Amhara people during this critical time and help the displaced mothers, children and the elderly people. The support is aimed at facilitating the opportunity to work together for unity and national interest.
