It’s an Happy New Year in Ethiopia 🇪🇹, Welcome to the year 2018. Ethiopia which was not colonized like other parts of Africa uses the Ethiopian Calendar, also called “Ge'ez,” which is seven to eight years behind the Gregorian Calendar we using.
Happy New Year Ethiopia 🎉🌍
Ethiopia is not just another country in Africa it is a pillar of African pride and resistance.
📜 A Brief History about the Origin of Ethiopia :
Ethiopia is one of the oldest continuous civilizations on Earth, with roots going back over 3,000 years to the Kingdom of Aksum.
It is the only African nation never colonized, defeating the mighty Italian army at the Battle of Adwa in 1896 a victory that inspired Black people across Africa and the Diaspora to rise against imperialism.
Ethiopia gave us ancient script (Ge’ez), the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, and was home to Lucy (Dinkinesh), the oldest human fossil, reminding us that Africa is humanity’s cradle.
Addis Ababa became the headquarters of the African Union (AU) making Ethiopia the political heart of Pan-Africanism.
📅 The Ethiopian Calendar Africa’s Own Timekeeper:
Ethiopia follows its own calendar system about 7–8 years behind the Gregorian calendar used globally. That means while most of the world is in 2025, Ethiopia just entered 2018.
This calendar has 13 months (12 months of 30 days each, plus a short 13th month of 5 or 6 days).
Its calculation is rooted in ancient Coptic and Julian traditions, but kept proudly Ethiopian, reminding the world that Africa does not always have to follow foreign timelines.
🌍 Why We Celebrate as Africans:
Ethiopia’s story is not just Ethiopian it is African resistance, African dignity, African continuity. Even their calendar is proof: Africa can measure time on its own terms.
✨ May the Ethiopian New Year remind us that we are the children of warriors, kings, and queens who bent history but never bowed to it.
