Ethiopia is a country of over 70 districts and nationalities, therefore practitioners from different cultures and languages came together for this great African event. Some practitioners from Europe and North America came to Ethiopia to share their experiences with Ethiopian practitioners. It was the second Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing conference in Africa. Following local customs of hospitality, practitioners in Keta prepared lunch for those who participated in the conference.

As one practitioner said, "It is a foundation and a great chance for Ethiopians to have this chance during this time of Fa rectification." And he added, " The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime has to stop spreading lies and sending products from forced labor camps to Ethiopia and other African countries. We Africans might be financially poor, but we do have our own culture that includes a high moral standard of human values. The CCP is against human nature and good people. It should not be allowed to infect our culture using it's cheap products embedded with blood!"

The practitioners also participated in different large-scale demonstrations to show the exercises and tell people about the persecution of innocent Falun Gong practitioners in China.
