Monday, March 10, we gathered to inaugurate the ET-302 Memorial Monument & Park, coinciding with the sixth anniversary of the tragic crash. Families of the victims, high-ranking government officials, representatives from Ethiopian Airlines, various stakeholders, and members of the local community came together to honor the 157 lives lost.

Creating the ET-302 Memorial was a journey filled with deep thought, collaboration, and sensitivity. What was once a site of profound tragedy has now become a place of remembrance and resilience.
