The Inauguration of GERD: A Moment of Greatness and Joy for Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

September 2025

A new chapter in African development and national pride has been written as Ethiopia officially inaugurates the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)—the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa. This monumental event is not just the commissioning of a dam, but the celebration of a dream realized, a renaissance reborn, and a great collective achievement for Ethiopia, its people, and all who love the nation.
The mood across Ethiopia is one of overwhelming happiness and pride. GERD represents a towering symbol of hope, dignity, and self-reliance—a testimony that greatness is possible when a nation stands united.

GERD: A Power of Powers
The GERD is not merely a structure of concrete and steel—it is a power of powers, generating not only electricity but empowering the country across multiple dimensions:
Electric Power: With a projected generation capacity of 5,150 megawatts, GERD will more than double Ethiopia’s current electricity production, providing power to millions and transforming lives in both urban and rural areas.
Economic Power: The dam promises to boost industrial growth, create jobs, and position Ethiopia as a regional energy exporter, offering power to neighboring countries including Sudan, Kenya, Djibouti, and Eritrea.
Social Power: GERD will reduce energy poverty and open the door to education, healthcare, clean water, and digital access for countless Ethiopian communities.
Technological Power: Built and managed primarily by Ethiopian engineers and institutions, GERD is a showcase of the country’s growing technical and engineering capabilities.
Political Power: GERD reinforces Ethiopia's sovereignty and right to pursue independent development. Despite pressure, threats, and diplomatic hurdles, the project stood firm.
Indeed, GERD is more than a dam—it is a MEGA project in every sense: a rallying cry to Make Ethiopia Great Again.

A Nation’s Unified Effort
What makes GERD even more extraordinary is how it was built—not by foreign investors or international aid, but through the contributions of Ethiopians from all walks of life. Civil servants donated a month’s salary, the diaspora purchased bonds, farmers gave what they could, and spiritual leaders united the nation in prayer and purpose. Management, laborers, engineers, and citizens gave their money, time, and sweat.
It is rare in modern history to witness a major infrastructure project that is truly people-funded and people-driven. GERD is just that—a national monument forged by unity.

Triumph in the Face of Adversity
GERD’s journey was not without resistance. The project faced:
Geopolitical opposition, especially from downstream countries like Egypt, which feared for its historical share of Nile waters.
Diplomatic tensions, with failed negotiations and intense international scrutiny.
Internal challenges, including technical complexity, financial strain, and occasional mismanagement.
But in the end, Ethiopia prevailed—not through confrontation, but through resilience, dialogue, and an unwavering belief in its sovereign right to use its natural resources for its people’s development.

A Renaissance Realized
With GERD’s inauguration, Ethiopia has firmly placed itself on the path of renewal and transformation. It is, in every sense, a renaissance—economic, social, and cultural. The dam has become a national symbol, much like the obelisks of Axum or the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela—only this time, it powers the future.
For Ethiopians young and old, GERD stands as a reminder: greatness is not inherited, it is built. It is built with courage, with unity, and with vision. (1/2)

Everyone sees the aircraft.
Almost nobody sees the machine behind it.

This week, Ethiopian Airlines gave us access to the people, systems, technology, training, and infrastructure that power one of the world's most respected airlines.

What stood out wasn't just the scale. It was the discipline, precision, and long-term vision required to build an organization that connects Africa to the world every single day.

Too often, conversations about Africa focus on potential. What we witnessed in Addis Ababa was execution.

Behind every departure and arrival is a world-class operation built by thousands of people working toward a shared mission.

Thank you to Ethiopian Airlines for the invitation and for the opportunity to see firsthand what excellence looks like behind the scenes.

The world's attention often goes to what is visible.
Real impact is built by what isn't.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹

ከተሰራ እንደዚህ ነው:: አራዳነታችሁ አሁን ነው የደመቀው🫡

ይህን ለውጥ በዓይናችን እያየን መካድ እውነትን መሸሽ ነው።

አዲስ አበባ ሸገር በፍጥነት እየተገነባች ነው ዛሬ የምናየው ለውጥ ገና መጀመሪያው ነው ከዚህ በላይ ብዙ ይሰራል፣ ብዙ ይገነባል ብዙ የማይታሰቡ ህልሞችም ወደ እውነት ይቀየራሉ። ለአመታት በእቅድ ውስጥ ብቻ የነበሩ ፕሮጀክቶች ዛሬ በተግባር እየተፈጸሙ ነው፤ መንገዶች እየሰፉ ናቸው፣ የእግረኞች መንገዶች እየተገነቡ ናቸው፣ አረንጓዴ ስፍራዎች እየተፈጠሩ ናቸው፣ የከተማዋ ገጽታም በቀን ከቀን እየተቀየረ ነው።

አዲስ አበባም እንደ ስሟ አዲስ፣ አበባ የሆነች፣ ውብና ዘመናዊ ከተማ ትሆናለች። ይህ ደግሞ በቃላት የሚነገር ሳይሆን በዓይን የሚታይ እውነት ነው።

ሀገርን ለማበልጸግ የሚደረገውን ጥረት በአክብሮት እየተመለከትን “ወቸው ጉድ!” እያልን እናያለን። ከተማችን እንዲህ በሚያስደስት ፍጥነት ስትለወጥ ማየት ለማንኛውም ቅን ዜጋ ደስታ ነው። የሚሰራው ስራ ለአንድ ቡድን ወይም ለአንድ ትውልድ ብቻ ሳይሆን ለመጪው ትውልድ ጭምር የሚተርፍ ታሪካዊ ቅርስ ነው።

በሌላ በኩል ሀገርን ለማወክ፣ ለመሸጥ፣ ለመበተንና የህዝብን ተስፋ ለማጨለም የሚሞክሩ በጥላቻ የተሞሉ ወገኖችም ይህን ለውጥ በዓይናቸው እያዩ አይተው እንዳላዩ ይሆናሉ። ለውጡን ማየት አይችሉም ሳይሆን ማመን አይፈልጉም። እውነቱን ለመቀበል ከመፈለግ ይልቅ እውነቱን ለመካድ ይሞክራሉ።

አንዳንዶች ደግሞ የዚህን ከተማ ለውጥ በየቀኑ እያዩ ላለማመስገን እና ላለመቀበል ራሳቸውን ያስጨንቃሉ። ነገር ግን የሚገርመው እነዚሁ ሰዎች በኮሪደር ልማት የተገነቡ ፓርኮች ውስጥ ሰርጋቸውን ያከብራሉ፣ ልደታቸውን ይደግሳሉ፣ ከቤተሰብና ከወዳጆቻቸው ጋር ፎቶ ይነሳሉ፣ በውብ አካባቢዎቹ ይዝናናሉ በተሰሩት ውብ ስፍራዎች ወክ በመከመር ክብደታቸውን የቀነሱም አሉ 😂 ለውጡን በቃላት ሊክዱት ቢሞክሩም በተግባር ግን እየተጠቀሙበት ነው። ይህም ራሱ የለውጡ ትልቅ ምስክር ነውና በፌስቡክ በተለይ ኢንስታግራም ላይ በስቶሪ የምንተዋወቅ ሰዎች ቀጥሉበት

ከተማ አስተዳደሩና መንግስት በጂም ቤት ገንዘብ እየከፈላችሁ ጂም እየሰራችሁ አይደለም ጂም ጅብ ቢበላችሁ ሰውነታችሁ የማይቀንስ ቀን በቀን ባማረው ስፍራ ወክ አድርጋችሁ ሰውነታችሁ ውልቅ ብሎ የከሳችሁ ሰዎችን እያየን ነው 😂 ይህ ልማት ከእናተ በጥላቻ ከሞላችሁ ሰዎች ምስጋና አይፈልግም ይህ ድንቅ ለውጥ የተሰራው ለእናተ ብሎም ለልጅ ልጆቻችሁ ነውና በርቱ! ወክ ማድረጋችሁን ቀጥሉ ዱብ ዱብ በሉበት ለናተው ነው ለውጡን ባታዩም እኛ የእናተን የሰውነት ለውጥ እያየን ነው እንላለን 😜

በመጨረሻም ማንኛውም መንግስት ምስጋና ፈልጎ የሚሰራ አይደለም። የተመረጠውና መንግስት የሆነው ሃይል ህዝብን ማገልገል እና ሀገርን ማልማት ግዴታው ነው። ቀድሞ በነበሩ መንግስታትና በታሪካችን እንዲህ አይነት ፈጣን እና ሰፊ የከተማ ለውጥ ስላላየንና አሁን ስናይ ማድነቅና ማበረታታት ደግሞ የዜግነት ሀላፊነት ነው። ጥሩ ነገርን ጥሩ ነው ማለት አድርባይነት አይደለም እውነትን እንደ እውነት መቀበል ነው

ታሪክ ግን ከማንም ጋር አያዳላም። ማን እንደገነባ ማን እንዳለማ ማን እንዳፈረሰና ማን እንዳወከ በግልጽ ይመዘግባል የዛሬው ትውልድ ቢከራከርም፣ የነገው ትውልድ ግን ውጤቱን በዓይኑ ያያል፤ ፍርዱንም ታሪክ ይሰጣል።

ከተማ አስተዳደሩና መንግሥት የጀመሩትን የልማት ጉዞ ይቀጥላሉ መንገዱ ረጅም ቢሆንም አቅጣጫው ግን ትክክል ነው። ምክንያቱም የሚገነባ እጅ ሁልጊዜ ከሚያፈርስ እጅ ይበልጣልና። ልማትን የሚያግድ ድምፅ ለጊዜው ሊጮህ ይችላል ነገር ግን የተሰራ ስራ ለዘመናት ይናገራል

አዲስ አበባ እየተቀየረች ነው ሸገር እየተገነባች ነው ኢትዮጵያም ወደ ተሻለ ነገ እየተጓዘች ነው
