WHO IS SHE?

 

Patriotism full, colonization lacks;

Invasion unthinkable, unsuccessful attacks;

An African legacy, a pride for all blacks;

 

Hospitable and humane;

A refuge for all men and women;

 

From beginning to the end;

A cradle of mankind;

This is not a mere fantasy;

But proved by Dinkinesh or Lucy;

And told for in the Bible and Qoran prophecy;

 

WHO IS SHE?

 

SHE is:

The mother of the Hararis;

The mother of the Gambelas;

The mother of the Southern Nations and Nationalities;

The mother of the Ben/Gumuz;

The mother of the Somalis;

The mother of the Oromos;

The mother of the Amharas;

The mother of the Afars;

The mother of the Tigrians

The mother of all Ethiopians;

Not only Ethiopians, the home of all Africans;

Not only Africans, the refuge of all humans;

 

WHO IS SHE?

SHE is our mamma Ethiopia!

 

Mamma loves her children equal;

Her children also love her equal;

No one is elder and no one is younger;

No one is inferior and no one is superior;

Unlike that of the Dergue and the Emperor;

 

The only and right choice is Federalism;

The wrong and failed one is unitary centralism;

No more for dictator socialism;

No more for exploitative feudalism;

No chance for neocolonialism;

No place for nepotism;

No way for chauvinism.

 

Appreciable is Federalism’s sanctity;

For our common matters, there is a unity;

For each unique feature, there is diversity;

The sum of unity and diversity equals our beauty!

 

Please all Ethiopians stand unite;

It’s our unity which makes us and our friends delight;

It’s our unity which trembles our enemies with fright;

Each of us has his own language and culture;

Autonomous executive, judiciary and legislature;

In all states in all regions;

Equality of all religions;

We unite for our common;

While promoting our own;

 

Hello Ethiopians,

Let’s unite for our common;

While promoting our own!!!

 

Long Live to Mamma Ethiopia!!!
