Statement by V.P. Boakai on Int’l Day of UN Peacekeepers (May 29, 2015)
It is always a pleasant engagement for me to be in your midst, as I am today, in this familiar setting on the same purpose-celebrating strides we are making as a result of humanitarian efforts invested by peace keepers. It was just about this same time last year when we stood here for the third time to register this nation’s appreciation of the services rendered by these peace forces on our soil.

Fellow Citizens:
We have gathered here today to celebrate another year in our statehood, the 168th Independence Anniversary of the existence of our Nation. It is a celebration far different from that of the previous years as we look back to the last year, to the true test of our faith and resilience to the challenges posed by an unknown enemy that our nation had never seen before. Despite those trying times, our country and its developmentobjectives have not faltered, and the fundamental principles of this Nation, dedicated to democracy, the rule of law, human freedom and individual dignity, were strengthened by our resolve to defeat the Ebola Virus Disease.
[Protocol] Ladies and Gentlemen: It is again a great pleasure to be in Addis Ababa, this fast transforming city and country. I extend profound gratitude to His Excellency the Prime Minister, the Government and people of Ethiopia for the warm hospitality and the tremendous work that was put into organizing this conference.
