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. Itโs time to accept todayโs reality!
@NErihagerey@AbiyAhmedAli I don't blame you for turning a blind eye to one of the biggest achievements in Ethiopian history brcause you can't point to anything close in Eritrea. While Ethiopia is jumping forward, Eritrea has frozen in time. It is painful for you but just take it easy and cope.
@Abdrezak1584333 PLO was one of the biggest sponsors of TPLF and EPLF. I think Ethiopa's support for Palestine was wrong in the first place. If Palestine and most of Arab countries are against Ethiopian interest, Ethiopia should consider withdrawing its support.
Africa's largest hydroelectric dam, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), on the Blue Nile is scheduled to open Tuesday to major fanfare in Ethiopia. https://t.co/Zzyvrnb2lW

We, Ethiopians, Achieved Centuries-Old Dreams
Today, we are on the eve of the inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) that marks the realization of a vision held by generations of Ethiopians. For centuries, the people of Ethiopia have dreamed of harnessing the power of the Abbay (Blue Nile) to fuel national development, energize transformation and improve livelihoods. This monumental project, finally coming to fruition, symbolizes our national pride and sovereignty. It is a testament to Ethiopiaโs determination to utilize its natural resources responsibly and equitably for the benefit of its citizens and the broader region.
We Have Not Achieved This Result Overnight but Overcome Numerous Odds!
The journey to this moment has been long and challenging. Ethiopia faced international skepticism, economic constraints, and geopolitical pressures from various quarters. Technical challenges, security concerns, and complex negotiations with downstream countries added layers of complexity. Despite all these obstacles, our steadfast commitment, resilience, and innovative spirit enabled the country to progress forward and reach this historic milestone.
The GERD stands not only as an engineering marvel but as a symbol of overcoming adversity through perseverance.
As we have been all along saying, it is built with Ethiopian sweat and blood to benefit not only #Ethiopia, but also the people of African in the region to access clean energy including multiple benefits to immediate downstream countries.
Congratulations to All Fellow Ethiopians who made this possible and those friends of Ethiopia and Africaโs development for enduring support.
Ethiopia shines! ๐ช๐น The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) inauguration stuns the world. A monumental achievement for Africaโs largest hydropower project, powering progress and unity. #GERD#EthiopiaRising#AfricanPride
@EIshmael_ Government of Somalia doesn't even last a week without Ethiopian support. First work to have a country that can last a weak before bluffing about helping Eritrea.
@AuetMelache@TiborPNagyJr You see your egnorance? I asked a simple question. Why don't you answer it? Bashing western democracy while enjoying the benefits? Make it make sense. Ig you adore the tyranny in Eritrea, go and enjoy it.
and Sudan - basically all their neighbors. They mobilized Egypt and Somalia to form a tripartite opposition to Ethiopia's interest on the Red Sea. And Eritrea is no where to be seen in peace keeping missions in Africa. If this is not contribution to peace in the HOA, what is?
True. Eritrea is helping one faction against the other in Sudan and Somalia. They engaged in war against TPLF in support of the government of Ethiopia. Now they are helping TPLF and Fano to destablize Ethiopia. Since independence they waged war against Ethiopia, Yemen, Djibouti,
This is the former U.S. ambassador to Ethiopia, @TiborPNagyJr, before he became a lobbyist for Abiy Ahmed & Somaliland. Deep down, Tibor knows that the self-reliant nation of Eritrea has been a major contributor to peace and stability in the Horn of Africa. Unfortunately, lobbyists like Tibor lack consistency and go with whoever pays them more. As a result, he is blackmailing and defaming Eritrean gov 24/7 on this platform.
