OSLO - Human rights activist Tamagne Beyene was accorded a hero's welcome upon his arrival in Norway. The crowd that was waiting for the arrival of the prominent activist created a microcosm of Ethiopia by deploying representatives of Christians and Muslims, flag-hoisting men-in-uniform, and those graceful in patriotic regalia.
Tamagne was on a fundraising European tour. Watching the video shows how much Ethiopian patriotism - if patriotism is love for ones own country and people - is much alive across Ethiopian communities in the Diaspora.
