Today, we started the winter volunteer service with the cleaning movement. The international standard of a city is cleanliness, beauty and urbanity. That is why we have been able to engage our people and mobilize stakeholders to create a beautiful, clean and green city and make Addis Ababa one of the 10 cleanest cities in Africa. We have been able to reverse the fact that Addis Ababa was criticized before for not being clean and beautiful, and that its green city cover is decreasing with the series of works we have done. Cleaning is a routine. Cleanliness should be a culture. We must always make sure that it is connected with every activity of our life in every area. Cleaning starts at home. Therefore, all of us in our areas; We should keep it as a culture in our institutions. I would like to entrust us to become ambassadors of cleanliness by working tirelessly and always following up to make this a culture. May the Creator bless Ethiopia and its people! Mayor Adane Abebe
