Let's embrace some of the holidays of the world! March 2nd is a public holiday in Ethiopia, it is known as "Victory at Adwa Day" (or in Amharic: የዓድዋ ድል በዓል) It's a holiday celebrating the defeat of invading Italian forces way back in 1896. This is a banner with the Ethiopian colours (not quite the modern flag) and Amharic text proclaiming the holiday. Hey, you can celebrate too. Just wish everyone a happy victory at Adwa on next March 2nd! ;)
