September 6 is observed as a day of independence and national pride, celebrating the enduring spirit of freedom and unity that defines Ethiopia’s identity. As one of the few nations in Africa never to have been colonized, Ethiopia stands as a symbol of sovereignty and resilience.
- Independence – Derived from the Latin independens, meaning “not depending on others.” As a symbolic name, it represents freedom, self-determination, and the unbreakable resolve of a people devoted to preserving their nation’s dignity and autonomy.
