Ethiopian Airlines
has on the cover of the January/February 2019 edition of its in-flight
magazine Selamta the image here.
This I think this is significant. I recognize alongside the Emperor Haile Selassie I, Julius Nyerere, Jomo Kenyatta, and in another photo, Kwame Nkrumah. These are the elders.
This publication was timely as it was intended to coincide with the unveiling of the commemorative statue of Emperor Haile Selassie I, erected in the compound of the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹.
The statue was in fact unveiled on February 10, 2019 quite coincidentally the very same day I landed in and departed from Addis Ababa in-transit. This note by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia is worthy of freezing for posterity and so I’ve chosen to preserve it in images below:
As the Emperor himself had proclaimed at the first meeting of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in May 1963, “may this convention of union last 1,000 years,” I will add in support, long live the dream of a united Africa.
