Honoring Ethiopia 

Tomorrow we want to honor the thousands of Ethiopians that were massacred by the Italian invaders in 1936 in Addis Ababa. In a press release sent to The Ethiopian News Agency, the City Administration said various institutions including the Ethiopian Patriots' Association will lay wreaths to commemorate the day. In addition, a minute of silence will be observed while prayers are held at the Holy Trinity Church and Anwar Mosque in the capital in memory of the massacred Ethiopians, the administration said.
