Five, four, three, two, one…

As I write, Ethiopia is entering the new millennium.

One of the oldest Christian countries, Ethiopia keeps the Coptic Orthodox calendar and at 5 pm EST, it is midnight in Addis Ababa, the party has just begun and tens of thousands have burst into celebration, as Ethiopia ushers in the 21st Century.

Congratulations Ethiopia, and Happy New Year!

Enjoy the party!
