Addis Ababa, 4 August 2016 (WIC)- Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said Ethiopia’s renaissance will not be hindered by chauvinists and narrowists.
The Premier, in his closing remarks of the 2nd Ethiopian Diaspora Day in Bahir Dar, said that Ethiopia has met the millennium development goals and also recorded a double digit economic growth in the past two decades via cooperative works of the government and the people. These remarkable records should not be lagged by the chauvinisms, narrowists, rent seekers and lack of good governance.
He added that his government is optimistic and is ready to overcome these challenges and to confront them as a matter of survival and realize the Ethiopian renaissance and become one of the middle income countries by 2025.
According to him, the problems related to the Wolkait identity quest are results of inability to take timely and adequate actions by some Tigray and Amhara regional state officials.
Now the government will resolve the problems in the area immediately for once in an exhaustive manner, he added.
Hailemariam also said had these challenges been resolved before it is too late while they are in the grass root level, its effect in the area now would have become null and void.
The 2nd Ethiopian Diaspora Day was marked with the theme “Ethiopia Renaissance by Ethiopians” in the presence of over 2,700 Ethiopians gathered from different corners of the world.
The 3rd Ethiopian Diaspora Day will be marked in the Southern Nations and Nationalities and People’s Regional State seat Hawassa, Walta learnt.
