Network Security Administration (INSA) have held a discussion marking

Peoples’ Day under the theme of“Democratic Consensus for
Multinational Unity.”

Promises and Challenges” was presented and discussed.
In her opening message, Director-General W/ro Tigist Hamid
stressed that as an institution tasked with safeguarding national security, INSA considers multinational unity a fundamental pillar
of its governance.
She stated that the institution, built from all
nations and nationalities and adorned with the spirit of multinationalism,
serves as a model of a “mini Ethiopia.”
The Director-General further explained that INSA being
an institution born out of the philosophy of “Medemer,” is grounded in the deep
value of multinational democratic principles.
Therefore, she emphasized that any actors who,
contrary to these values, work to undermine the unity and peace of the country
or attempt to fracture national cohesion for personal gain must be challenged
by every member of the institution within their respective duties.
Deputy
Director-General Ato Daniel Guta, in his message, stated that
multinationalism is a source of beauty, grace, and strength for Ethiopia.
He explained that the diverse capacities, knowledge, and skills of each nation
and nationality—when combined—become a powerful force that propels our country
upward through multinational unity and brotherhood.
During the program, the document titled “Democracy and the Federal System in Ethiopia:
Promises and Challenges” was presented by Ato Girma Cheru, Director of Federalism and
Intergovernmental Relations at the Ministry of Peace, followed by discussion.
