CONGRATULATIONS 🙏🏽🙌🏾 Once the #Abyssinian Empire split up by Italian colonizers further split apart by a deadly war of independence in the 1990s #Eritrea and #Ethiopia have not seen peace in 2 decades. Ethiopia’s new prime minister DR. ABIY AHMED’s visit to #Asmara, Eritrea’s capital to meet President Isaias Afewerki marks the first time since 2000 that heads of government are meeting between the two countries. The historic peace summit will not replace CNN’s round the clock profit-driven coverage of Trump. But we have always known the revolution will not be televised. And these efforts of peace are in fact revolutionary. See the joy in the streets of Asmara Thinking about the martyred, dismembered, kidnapped, imprisoned, orphaned and dead at sea. This is a monumental day for all of Africa and if the world knew what truly mattered - all of us would be paying attention to two African enemies finding a path to reconciliation for the sake of their people. Know this name: DR. ABIY AHMED. Within the first 100 days of taking office, has reached out to hostile neighbors & rivals, lifted bans on websites & other media, freed thousands of political prisoners. Earning comparisons to Nelson Mandela, Justin Trudeau, Barack Obama & Mikhail Gorbachev, Abiy is already turning Ethiopia’s stagnant political scene on its head. With talks of love & unity, here is what Abiy said about today’s historical peace summit in Eritrea: “We have agreed to open up embassies in our respective countries, allow our people to visit each other’s cities and allow our airlines and ports to operate freely. Love is greater than modern weapons like tanks and missiles. Love can win hearts, and we have seen a great deal of it today here in Asmara.” “Zekeberka hizbi Ertra, selamin kisanetin yegebeaka iyu.” This is what true leadership looks like. Victory to the people! 🇪🇹❤️🇪🇷 #Eritrean #Ethiopian #history made #Africa #hornofafrica #mamaafrica #habesh #habesha #Abyssinia #AbyiAhmed (at Asmara, Eritrea)
