Military Academy – Harar
…You are commanders tomorrow …
“ … Ethiopia is anxious to preserve and safeguard
peace not only to herself, but she is also equally desirous that others enjoy
it, and that men live in happiness and in a stable and better world.
…
You should note that discipline and orderliness are
inextricably interwoven with every facet of military life; each and every one
of you must strive diligently, free from any triviality, so as to be able to
pass on to the next generation of Ethiopians the maximum of your benefits.
…
Henceforth, the soldiers you command as well as your
superiors will be keeping a critical eye on you to assess your knowledge and
qualifications. If you are negligent of this fact, people will not think much
of you. If, however, you dedicate yourselves to duty, you stand to benefit much
from it in the long run.
…
We will not pass without making mention of the great
happiness and honour that We today feel in having with Us Our great guest, His
Excellency Dr. Heinrich Lubke, President of the Federal Republic of Germany.
This coincidence should make you all more happy also.
…
May the Almighty God help you acquire the quality of
duty-mindedness, enable you to be vigilant both in body and mind, and thereby
facilitate your work in the future so that you may serve your country
faithfully and loyally and bring Our combined efforts to final fruition.
