... It is only fitting that the present and future generations of
Ethiopia should revere the names and scan closely the
biography of Our forefathers who, through their courage,
wisdom and foresight, throughout the last three millenia,
devoted their lives to the greatness and advancement of
Ethiopia, and to honour each one of them by erecting and
preserving memorials. Monuments so erected help to recall
the past, to link the present with the future generation and to
encourage Our beloved people to accomplish better things with
greater zeal and devotion by reminding them of the greatness
of Our history.

| Unveiling Ras Makonnen Monument |
It is for Us today a source of gratification and immense joy
when We unveil in the city of Harar this statue of Our father
His Highness Ras Makonnen, whose name occupies ample
space in the pages of Ethiopian history as the foremost among
the country's distinguished servants who, during the past
century, rendered invaluable service to preserve the unity and
greatness of Ethiopia, already attested by recorded
acheivements.
