=====///====

 Ashenda is a festival of freedom, togetherness and play for children. The festival shows that Ethiopia is the owner of multi-faceted natural and man-made resources, has different languages ​​and cultural traditions, where people live in harmony and love each other. Ashenda festival is a good news that is celebrated after the coming of New Year.

It is a traditional game where girls go through the ups and downs associated with the onset of winter and announce the arrival of a brighter age, get engaged, dance and play with their peers. In addition, mothers and children participate without distinction. The festival is a strong bond for the transmission of the values ​​of solidarity, love and coexistence, which are celebrated in public unity. What makes the celebration of the festival special this year is that the relative peace created in the Tigray region has given relief to the people. In order for the peace situation to be sustainable and for Tigray to come back, the leader's idea of ​​"Winning for Peace" has been preferred.

Based on this, the Addis Ababa city administration will celebrate it in the Millennium Hall on August 28, 2015, in the presence of the natives of the region and the representatives of the Ethiopian ethnic groups and peoples.
