Addis Ababa, December 31, 2021 (Walta) – Ethiopian Diaspora Agency Communication Director, Wondwosen Girma, said paying a visit to Lalibela and Gondar by the Diaspora for Ethiopian Christmas and Epiphany holidays will offer socioeconomic opportunities to the surrounding people and rally them for the rehabilitation and rebuilding efforts. The communication director told ENA that preparations are well under way for the diaspora visit to Lalibela and Gondar for Christmas and Epiphany celebration respectively. We have planned to celebrate Christmas in Lalibela and Epiphany in Gondar. The participation and contribution of the Ethiopian diaspora have significantly increased after the change of a political landscape, which Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, ushered in when he came to office in 2018, he noted. Lalibela and Gondar are historic towns in the Amhara region, witnessing a large influx of foreign and local visitors, before a visit to the former was disrupted for some time by the terrorist group.
