The marriage of Teddy Tadesse and Venus Hagos was covered by the program Sunday entertainment of the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation
. not that this happened when Eritrean President Isayas Afeworki arrived in Addis Ababa for a three-day visit two weeks ago; perhaps other marriages took place that day in the capital and / or the rest of Ethiopia.
What made it special, at least from the point of view of the producers of the EBC program and perhaps from the point of view of the younger generation who is in their twenties, that is 39 is that the newlyweds come from Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Given the last two decades of war between Eritrea and Ethiopia, it is understandable that marriage is special. But again, there has been a new marriage relationship between Ethiopians and Eritreans over the last twenty years, at least in the diaspora.
Had it been these past two decades, Teddy 's and Venus' wedding would have been seen as many other weddings of Asmara and Addis Ababa couples as it were. was perfectly normal. After all, Eritrea itself was part of Ethiopia.
