Mexico Square, one of the major landmarks in
Addis Abeba, is now in ruins due to the light railway construction. The
two line rail lines will extend 17.35km from east to west stretching
from Ayat Village to Tor Hailoch, passing through Megenagna, Legehar and
Mexico Square.
During the Italian occupation of Ethiopia, Mexico was the only
country to condemn the occupation in the League of Nations. Since then,
relations between the two nations have strengthened. In Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia thanked Mexico by naming a square in the city called "Plaza
Mexico."Mexico then named a metro station in Mexico City, Metro Etiopía.
