Addis Hosting The 35th AU Summit Overturns Conspiracy

The propaganda and pressure waged by some western countries on Ethiopia,  tarnishing the image of the country by blowing their trumpet of falsehood attempting to show that Addis Ababa is not a safe place to host the 35th AU Summit of Heads of State and Governments due to security issues are one again futile.

The ill attempt of some western lobbing African Union member countries that Ethiopia is unsafe to host the 35th AU Summit has turned into a fiasco. Despite the propaganda ploy, Ethiopia has celebrated Christmas and Timket with a large number of diaspora coming home.     

For more than a year now, some western countries including the US, where its Embassy in Addis Ababa staged a campaign attempting to isolate Ethiopia from the rest of the world by assuming that terrorist TPLF forces will triumphantly enter Addis Ababa causing major security threat to the international community members and their embassies. Thanks to the efforts of the heroic sons and daughters of this country who fought and foiled the orchestrated conspiracy of anti-Ethiopia forces.  

It is to be noted that the AU is indebted to Ethiopia not only because the country is a founding member of the continental organization but also because the nation has rendered immense contributions to the maintenance of peace and security in the African region.

Ethiopia, along with other African member countries, is calling for a permanent representation in the UNSC, for a continent of 1.3 billion population.  Moreover, the nation is already working towards the implementation of Agenda 2063, African Continental Free Trade Area, COMESA, and other regional modalities of economic integration as part of the battle against economic neo-colonialism and the vicious circle of aid.

Ethiopia, a country also known as the water tower of Africa is now getting ready for the 3rd round of filling GERD which is also expected to generate 15,700 Giga watt-hour of electricity per year.

On January 17, Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed issued a statement on Monday appreciating the decision of the African Union member states to convene the 35th AU Summit in person in Addis Ababa.

The Prime Minister said Ethiopia is pleased with the current leaders of Africa for acknowledging Ethiopia’s historic and unwavering stance to advance African and Pan-African agendas. The implications of hosting the summit in Addis Ababa are immense. Abiy said it would demonstrate peace and stability in the country. It would also create opportunities for us to restate our stance on the African Agenda and practically exhibit Ethiopia’s good status to our African allies. He also called on all Ethiopians to make the summit a success. Twitting on the occasion Prime Minister Abiy said: 

“It is very well known that our African brothers and sisters are at the forefront of our challenges and joys. The identities we share, the history that binds us, and the common challenges we face are enormous. Ethiopia is like a second home for them. Coming to their homeland, Ethiopia, Africans should be treated as natives, not as strangers. We must stretch our hands and open our hearts to welcome and treat them. We should strive to let them have a lasting good impression, delightful stay and tranquility until they return.”

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed added in the statement that now is the time to strengthen the African brotherhood more than ever.

“My dear African brothers and sisters, I want to express to you that Ethiopia has never failed from prioritizing African affairs from its agenda. Ethiopia’s commitment to Africa’s freedom has never dwindled. Her role in Pan-Africanism is always a major one. Ethiopia has always been the same from the past to the present. She has never had second thoughts on being African. Ethiopia lauds the current African Heads of State for deciding to hold the AU assembly here. This is a decision tantamount to the previous African Heads of State who never doubted Ethiopia’s position on Africa.”

PM Abiy Ahmed said Ethiopia is saddened by those who attempted to hold the AU’s 35th assembly elsewhere citing COVID-19 and security concerns. He said the Ethiopian government has been putting in diplomatic efforts to hold the bi-annual AU assembly in Addis Ababa after the first had been suspended due to COVID-19 for three consecutive years.

African Heads of State who recognized Ethiopia’s firm commitment to African affairs, its effort to form the AU and its firm principle to resolve African affairs through Africans have understood the relevance of holding the assembly here, said PM Abiy Ahmed. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed also advised Ethiopians to welcome their African brethren who see Ethiopia as their second home. He said Ethiopia will be a winner only if it succeeds in all sectors. One of these sectors, he said, is the promise Ethiopia gave to Africa which must be sustained.

“The implications of hosting the summit in Addis Ababa are immense, as it demonstrates our peace and stability while also allowing us to restate our stance on the African Agenda and practically exhibit Ethiopia’s good status to our African allies and reap economic benefits in general. As a result, it is expected of all of you to make the summit a success.

Security forces, hotels, transportation providers, as well as entertainment and tourist destinations, all should make extensive preparations. We must embrace and accommodate our African sisters and brothers who are coming here with Ethiopian courtesy, comfort, and safety”

The 40th Ordinary Session of the Executive Council (Ministerial Session) and the 35th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the A.U. (Heads of State and Government Session) will take place from 02-06 February 2022 under the theme, “Building Resilience in Nutrition on the African Continent: Accelerate the Human Capital, Social and Economic Development”.
