In the unfolding story of a nation, there are moments that feel less like ordinary events and more like warnings. In Ethiopia, when a people begin to turn against the very colors that have long symbolized their identity—green, yellow, and red—it is not merely about cloth. It is about the soul of a people.
These colors have stood for life, peace, sacrifice, and freedom. They have inspired not only Ethiopians, but people of African origin across the world as a sign that dignity cannot be colonized and identity cannot be erased. For the young and the old, for women and men alike, wearing these colors has been an act of remembrance and pride.
Yet when such expression is restricted or discouraged, we must ask: what spirit is driving this? For the cause is not only political—it is also spiritual. When fear replaces unity, and control replaces understanding, a nation begins to drift from its moral foundation.
The effect is not immediate, but it is certain. Division grows. Hearts harden. A people become strangers to one another. And when a nation loses its sense of shared identity and justice, history shows that consequences follow—sometimes suddenly, sometimes slowly, but always deeply.
This is why such moments call not only for analysis, but for repentance. Not just from leaders, but from all of us. For every society reflects the condition of its people. If we have allowed hatred, pride, or silence in the face of wrong to take root, then we too must turn back.
“Lord, have mercy on us,” is not a cry of weakness—it is a cry of awakening.
Visions and dreams often come as warnings, not to condemn, but to redirect. They remind us that it is not too late to choose justice over oppression, unity over division, truth over fear.
Before it is too late, let there be reflection.
Before it is too late, let there be humility.
Before it is too late, let there be a return to what is right.
For a nation that remembers its soul can still change its path.
