Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed called Adwa the day the sun rose for all Africa and black people.

The Ministry of Culture and Sports has sent the Kin Ethiopia Food and Culture Troupe to Kenya today to honor Adwa Victory Day. This group has previously promoted Ethiopian culture and cuisine in various countries. The trip marks a significant cultural exchange.
