Think what you will of Ethiopia's National Dialog, but former Kenyan Prez Uhuru Kenyatta gave one of the most inspiring addresses I've ever heard - and I have heard many, many in my career. If someone hears it and is not moved, they are missing a heart.

Just back from 5 weeks in Europe - it felt hotter there than at any point during my decades in Africa. And local airlines (eg @Ryanair ) leave much to be desired. If only @flyethiopian had routes in Europe they'd make a fortune. I'll take Africa over Europe any day!

[Christopher Landau @DeputySecState]

Great series of meetings today with Ethiopian government leaders, including Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli, Foreign Minister @GHessebon, and Finance Minister Ahmed Shide. We discussed deepening our countries’ economic and commercial ties and various regional conflicts. The discussions were constructive and frank. Ethiopia has incredible potential and increased cooperation will benefit both countries. 🇺🇸🤝🇪🇹

This co-investment is the beginning of a new five-year chapter, advancing self-sufficiency in health and empowering faith-based and private organizations to deliver sustainable care for all Ethiopians. #US_Ethiopia

Re GERD - my advice to Egypt. Drop the political drama and engage with Ethiopia professionally on technical issues. I know from experience that Ethiopia cannot be bullied and the more you push the more immovable they become. It’s time to accept today’s reality!

[Tibor Nagy @TiborPNagyJr]

Delighted that US will participate in Ethiopia's new Addis Ababa airport project to build Africa's largest airport near Bishoftu-allowing more aircraft to use it given much lower altitude. Good match for Ethiopian Airlines, one of world's best carriers.

We wish all Christians a happy #Meskel!

So a Nigerian pilot tested positive for alcohol after almost veering off the runway. One of the reasons I take Ethiopian Airlines whenever possible, or their partner ASKY - since I know such a thing will not happen with them!

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is a bold affirmation of Africa’s ability to marshal its own resources and shape its destiny. Funded entirely by the Ethiopian people, it is more than an infrastructure project; it is Africa’s largest hydropower facility, with an estimated capacity of 6,450 megawatts, and a continental symbol of self-reliance and progress.

For Kenya, it offers immense promise. We are ready to sign a power purchase agreement with Ethiopia to offtake surplus electricity to power our industries, ICT hubs, manufacturing, and agro-processing, while strengthening competitiveness, creating jobs, and driving sustainable growth.

No nation should be denied the chance to build such transformative assets because, with time, they become shared sources of prosperity.

Yet, even as we celebrate, we remain mindful of differing perspectives among Nile Basin countries. Kenya reaffirms its support for equitable use of shared waters and urges Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan to continue pursuing trilateral talks in good faith. Dialogue and compromise remain the surest path to a fair agreement that safeguards prosperity and stability for all.

Honoured to join fellow leaders in witnessing the historic inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam at Benishangul-Gumuz Region. Congratulations to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the Ethiopian people on this remarkable achievement.

With us were Presidents @IsmailOguelleh (Djibouti), @HassanSMohamud (Somalia), Salva Kiir Mayardit (South Sudan), Barbados Prime Minister @miaamormottley, Prime Minister of Eswatini Russell Mmiso Dlamini and Africa Union Commission Chair Mahmoud Ali Youssouf.

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam stands complete!

A testament to Ethiopia’s resolve and a beacon for Africa’s future.

.@USEmbassyAddis thanks Governor Mamo for his service and vision and urges Ethiopia to continue on the reform path he helped to pave. Governor Mamo’s bold leadership helped correct macroeconomic distortions that were holding back Ethiopia’s economy and its people. Change is never easy, and even less so in the face of significant challenges. @mihretum
