Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Calls for a New Era of National Heroism to Safeguard Ethiopia's Sovereignty

KT News 08-09-2024/:- In a powerful statement addressing the nation today, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed emphasized the necessity of expanding Ethiopia's concept of freedom beyond the preservation of territorial sovereignty. While lauding the nation's resilience in maintaining its independence, he urged a deeper understanding of freedom, extending it to crucial domains such as food security, technological advancement, fiscal autonomy, and national dignity.

"We are proud to have maintained our freedom," the Prime Minister declared. "But we have learned that border independence does not stop there. Freedom must be on all sides." He further elaborated on the importance of achieving self-sufficiency in various sectors, emphasizing that true independence is multi-faceted.

The Prime Minister also called for a new form of heroism—one rooted in nationalism and defined by the selfless contributions of citizens. "We need a new kind of heroism to uphold these branches of freedom. The heroism of nationalism. National heroism is the sacrifice of time, knowledge, money, and strength to defend Ethiopia's independence wherever we are deployed," he stated.

Abiy's message underscores the collective responsibility of Ethiopians to contribute to the nation's growth and protection. He stressed that the future of Ethiopia lies in the hands of its people, and it is through their dedication and sacrifice that the country will continue to thrive and safeguard its sovereignty. "A country is built and protected by its children," he concluded, calling on all citizens to rise to the challenge of this new era of national heroism.
