Kudos, Mudo!
Here is my translation of her speech which, unfortunately, cannot capture the grace, compassion and love in her speech.
“Welcome all. I come here with my heart full of hope. Women like me used to be onlookers of history. Others make decisions for us from afar. We bury our brothers and wipe our tears. We ask when peace will come.
“For the first time today, my country has invited me to speak. This is not only my voice. This is also the voice of women and mothers who watch from afar. Today, Ethiopia is listening to the unheard voices of the past.
“Because we do not talk to each other, we have lost a lot. What we have gained are tears, burying our brothers, hate, sorrow and revenge. If fire could build a house, Ethiopia would have built it a long time ago. You build a house with your hands working together and your hearts listening to each other.
“Ethiopia is yours and ours. So, my compatriots, the anger you brought with you is not going back (home) with you. Discuss it here and resolve it.
“Don’t ask who’s going to win. Let us make Ethiopia the winner. This is the dream of many mothers. Let’s make Ethiopia the winner. May God bless you. Thank you for listening to me.”
