ተስፋ[ኮድ አርም]

Ethiopia is a country where so many different cultures come together as one to form a fascinating nation. It is a country where the works of nature can genuinely be appreciated. And most of all, Ethiopia is a country where faith is the rule of life. It is a country where the people live cheerfully for they have faith and conviction, which can be seen in everything they do, and everyday. Ethiopia is culturally diverse, has been existent since the beginning of time, and is incomparably unique. It is one of the richest countries in the world if affluence is measured in terms of cultural diversity, possession of historical records and incomparable uniqueness. And one aspect of its uniqueness is having its own calendar, making it the only country in the world to celebrate the second millennium eight years later than the rest of the world. As we celebrate the millennium, we should also celebrate the culture, history, uniqueness and beauty of Ethiopia.
