Festival de Etiopia, una muestra de la diversidad cultural africana
Ethiopia Festival, a showcase of African cultural diversity

The 2nd East African Festival of Arts and Culture concluded in Ethiopia, highlighting unity through diversity and traditions. Held from 21-24 March at the Addis Ababa International Convention Centre, the event brought together delegations from Rwanda, Burundi, Djibouti, Uganda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Somalia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya and the host country, under the theme "Art and culture for regional integration".

Burundi's Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, Gervais Abayeho, highlighted the value of cultural heritage as a unifying factor for East Africa and the continent in general. He underlined the similarities in the dances of different countries, such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and even with South Africa. He also welcomed the uniqueness of Burundi's cultural heritage, especially its drums, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Lucy Atto, deputy commissioner of Uganda's Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development, emphasised the cultural connection between African countries. "Borders are just lines, but we share dances, instruments and the same spirit," she said.

For her part, South Sudan's Minister of Culture, Museums and National Heritage, Nadia Arop Dudi, thanked Ethiopia for hosting the event, highlighting its importance for regional identity. Ngabo Braive, Rwanda's Permanent Secretary for Youth and Culture, noted that these festivals strengthen ties between countries and promote African culture globally.

Since its first edition in 2022, the East African Arts and Culture Festival has established itself as a key venue for the celebration of artistic richness and regional integration.
