በደቡብ ኢትዮዽያ ጋሞ ዞን በደረሰው የመሬት መንሸራተት አደጋ በወገኖቻችን ላይ በደረሰው ጉዳት የተሰማኝን ጥልቅ ሀዘን እገልፃለሁ ። የሞቱ ወገኖቻችንን ነፍስ ፈጣሪ በገነት እንዲያኖርልን እና ለወዳጅ ዘመዶቻቸው መፅናናትን እንዲሰጣቸው እመኛለሁ። ድጋፍ ለሚያስፈልጋቸው ወገኖቻችን ፈጥነን ለመድረስ ሁላችንም ርብርብ በማድረግ ወገንተኝነታችንን ማረጋገጥ ይኖርብናል።

I express my profound sorrow over the tragedy that has affected our fellow citizens following the landslide disaster in the Gamo Zone of Southern Ethiopia. I pray that God grants eternal peace to the souls of those who lost their lives and comfort to their families and loved ones. At this difficult time, we must stand together in solidarity and make every possible effort to swiftly support those in need.

As Reverend Jesse Jackson is laid to rest, we not only mourn his passing but also honor the extraordinary legacy he leaves behind. A towering figure of the civil rights movement, Reverend Jackson dedicated his life to advancing justice, equality, and the dignity of Black nations and peoples across the world. Ethiopia will always remember with deep appreciation his principled friendship and solidarity, particularly during times of need, when he stood firmly in support of the country’s pursuit of justice, fairness, and international understanding. I extend my deepest condolences to Reverend Jackson’s family, loved ones, and all those touched by his remarkable life and service. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Today, the Embassy of Ethiopia in Washington, D.C. had the honor of hosting its annual #Iftar with members of the Ethiopian Muslim #Diaspora from the #DMV area, in observance of the holy month of #Ramadan. The evening offered a meaningful opportunity for reflection, solidarity, and community. #RamadanMubarak

Today, alongside members of the Ethiopian diaspora community in the United States, we proudly commemorated the 130th Anniversary of the Victory of Adwa at the Embassy of Ethiopia in Washington, D.C. 🇪🇹 Adwa stands as a historic testament to unity, sovereignty, and the unwavering resolve to defend freedom. A symbol of national pride and African resilience that continues to inspire generations. #Adwa130 #VictoryOfAdwa #Ethiopia #Diaspora #Unity #Sovereignty

It is my great honour and pleasure to welcome Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to Ethiopia as we co-host the Second Italy–Africa Summit. This occasion represents more than a diplomatic gathering; it symbolizes the deepening partnership between Italy and African nations; a partnership grounded in mutual respect, shared responsibility, and a common vision for sustainable growth. Prime Minister Meloni’s visit underscores our collective commitment to strengthening cooperation across trade, investment, energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and innovation.

It was a pleasure to join Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Mrs. Rubio at the diplomatic holiday reception hosted at the U.S. Department of State. I also enjoyed reconnecting with friends and colleagues. I was particularly pleased to meet Deputy Secretary of State Landau and have a brief, warm conversation.

A pleasure meeting Congressman Gregory Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. I briefed him on Ethiopia’s development progress, including the completion of the GERD. We also discussed peace and security in the Horn of Africa, and I reaffirmed Ethiopia’s commitment to addressing regional challenges peacefully. I encouraged him to champion peace in the region.

What an incredible day in Addis Ababa! Many of us from the embassy community had a fantastic time joining thousands of runners and walkers (and a lot of dancers!) at the 2025 Great Ethiopian Run on November 23, 2025. It was wonderful to celebrate the spirit of #Ethiopia alongside so many enthusiastic participants. The energy on the streets was inspiring. The #GreatEthiopianRun, founded by Haile Gebrselassie, is Africa’s largest road race. Congratulations to everyone who took part and made this day so memorable. #US_Ethiopia

I welcomed General Dagvin R. M. Anderson, Commander of the U.S. Africa Command, this morning for a constructive exchange on regional security and opportunities for enhanced cooperation.

Africa has spoken with one voice at the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP 30) in Belém, Brazil and the world has listened. Ethiopia extends its heartfelt gratitude to the African Group of Negotiators for their unanimous endorsement of Ethiopia’s bid to host COP 32 in Addis Ababa in 2027. We are grateful for the opportunity that the Conference of the Parties is giving us to spearhead the collective effort to tackle one of the most daunting challenges faced by humanity. We are honored to be entrusted by the global community with such an important responsibility. This recognition reflects confidence in Ethiopia’s leadership in climate action and its capacity to host major global events. Ethiopia remains fully committed to delivering a robust and meaningful outcome and inclusive COP 32 that advances collective action against climate change. Building on the momentum of the Second Africa Climate Summit, Ethiopia will continue to champion Africa as a continent of solutions and a committed partner in the global effort for a sustainable future.

@AbiyAhmedAli Congratulations for your amazing work!!!
