Addis Ababa: President Sahlework Zewde has urged women to vigorously participate in the national reconciliation process, vital for the success of Ethiopia's nation-state building endeavors. The Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission is undertaking a consultation forum under the theme: "National consultation for you (woman), about Ethiopia through you, Ethiopia is consulting," which aimed at fostering women's participation. In her remarks on the occasion, President Sahlework stressed the need for conducting an inclusive national consultation that would hugely contribute to national consensus and create an enabling environment for togetherness. The Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission consists of 11 members, has embarked on facilitating inclusive techniques of discussion and reconciliation that heal wounds, build consensus on key troubles, and assist Ethiopia in remedying its complicated issues. Moreover, the dialogue commission has so far carried out identification of participants in various regional sta tes and city administrations including women participants, it was learned. Accordingly, the president underscored that the national consultation has become indispensable in reviving eroded social values and bringing about research-based solutions to differences and disagreements in Ethiopia. She further mentioned experiences of many countries that had gone through the national consultation and overcame difficulties. According to her, those countries have become successful in achieving better economic development and reconstruction by giving priority to dialogue and consultation instead of the temporary solution of war. Emphasizing that the national consultation that is being intensified in Ethiopia has many benefits to build a better country, Sahlework noted that women should be prepared to play their constructive role in the dialogue process. Differences of opinion and political disputes that arise in Ethiopia have resulted in the fact that women are the main victims, the president indicated. For this reason, she said women's participation in the nation-state building aspiration is imperative, adding that they should demonstrate their important engagement in the national consultation project.
