Ethiopian Somalis benefiting from dev’t: PM Hailemariam

kaliPrime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn has said the Ethiopian Somali Region has become beneficiary of the peace and development opportunities created in the Region over the past years.

The Premier made the remark Sunday evening on an event held at Sheraton Addis that focused on Ethiopian Somalis’ culture and history organized by Heber Ethiopia: Art and Culture Committee in collaboration with the House of Federation.

Hailemariam said the Ethiopian Somali Region which had been a victim of oppressions in the previous regimes is now on the journey of peace and development as a result of unity based on diversity guaranteed by the Ethiopian Constitution.

The fact that the 8th Ethiopian Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Day would be marked in the Region in the coming December is an indicative of the equal rights guaranteed to all by the Constitution, he said.

Speaker of the House of Federation, Kassa Tekleberhan for his part urged artists to popularize the diverse cultures in Ethiopia that are not yet promoted.

Chief of the Ethiopian Somali Region Abdi Mohammed Umar said the region which had been known for its instability in the past is now turned to a place where its people are busy with development endeavors. He also called on investors to invest in the region.

The event was tagged ‘Kali Night’, named after a place where Ethiopian Somalis refused to accept to be included under the British colony witnessing that they were Ethiopians, it was noted on the event.

Art works focused on the history and culture of Ethiopian Somalis were presented on the occasion attended by federal and regional officials, artists, elders and various sections of the society.
