We will never be satisfied

We cannot walk alone. And as we walk we must make the promise that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the opposite party leaders, members and devotees of right and freedom, “When will you be satisfied?”

I want to tell you that today we can never be satisfied as long as most of the nation is the victim of the unspeakable horrors. We will never be satisfied as long as our nation is suffering due to abuse of human and democratic rights. We will never be satisfied unless all the peoples of this great land provided with equal economic and political freedom irrespective of their religion, political attitude and ethnical background. We will never be satisfied as long as the journalist and politicians are at Prison for what they say and wrote. We will never be satisfied as long as job opportunity is based on political and ethnical background.

No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice role down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to every direction of the country and even go back to jails knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Lets us not wallow in the valley of despair.

I say to you today, my friends, though, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted to Ethiopians dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up.

I have a dream that one day all the nation of the land will have equal political and economic freedom. I have a dream that one day the state, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression; will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream today…I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hills and mountains shall be made low. The rough place will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight. This is our hope. This is the faith that I have in my heart. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the ethnic diversity of our nation in to a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.

With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. And if Ethiopia is to be a great nation, this must be come true.

When we allow freedom to ring from every parts and mountains of the country, we will be able to speed up that day of when all people of this holy land will be able to join hand.

God Bless Ethiopia and Ethiopians!!!
