Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed issued a statement in celebration of Africa Day, honoring the continent’s shared journey and enduring vision.

"Happy Africa Day to all our African brothers and sisters! 63 years ago, our forefathers gathered right here in Addis Ababa and dared to dream of a free, united Africa, and that dream still burns bright. Today, as the proud home of the African Union, Ethiopia stands shoulder to shoulder with every African nation in that same spirit of unity. The work is far from over. Let us move from words to action, from promises to progress. Africa's greatest resource has always been her people, and together, we rise!"
