A man wears novelty sunglasses as he prepares for the Coptic millennium celebrations in central Addis Ababa, Tuesday Sept. 11, 2007. The streets are scrubbed, the flags are flying and the flowers are blooming along Addis Ababa's streets, all in preparation to ring in the new millennium Tuesday, seven years after the rest of the world. Ethiopia follows the Coptic calendar, which is seven years behind the more common Gregorian. Among the celebrations scheduled is a concert by the U.S. pop group Black Eyed Peas in a multimillion-dollar (-euro) hall built just for the occasion. (AP

I wish you “HAPPY NEW MILLENNIUM and a HAPPY NEW YEAR”, in all the languages of our nations/nationalities/tribes, from one corner of Ethiopia to the other.
May God (Allah), bless the Ethiopian nation and lift it with his holy hands to the mountain top, from where it will shine again, and make all Africans proud of its history and its civilization, which is the core of African history, civilization and pride!

While thousands of political oppositions such as the Oromo citizens, CUD members and other ethnical nationalities who never support the regime sit in Wayne’s torture prisons, the celebration of Millennium is just disgusting paradox.
Shame on you, you damn TPLF gangs. Your celebration of The Millennium is coasting the precious blood of thousands of political opposition that are being murdered in secrete by the Agazi thugs.
There can never be peace until the TPLF thugs are driven out to their barren province, Tigray.

I read all comments every where really I felt with something how are Ethiopians love each other; the wish and all blessings to each other is excellent, but why we don't greet each other when ever and where ever we see each other? Really amazing any ways leave some politicians aside and be together b/c I don’t like politics and their comments are also sucks.
HAPP NEW YEAR FOR ALL OF YOU.
MAY GOD BLESS ETHIOPIA AND US.

Happy new year Ethiopians as you celebrate your millenium ask yourself what have we achieved? We are still living in a hut that is not even good enough for birds,We are still using wooden plough, we ARE BEING decimated by AIDS, We are still plagued by recurrent droughts and we are pulling each others leg to gain political power. Ichallenge everybody to ask him/herself what have I done to my people or country? please dont give me that age old excuse they wouldn't let me work.
Happy new year to you all. If I ever live a century I would see your grand children living in at the same hut, farming with a wooden plough.prove me wrong
