U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia Ervin J. Massinga’s Statement on Recent Developments in Tigray and Afar: “I am disappointed to see the leadership of the TPLF, that the United States sanctioned earlier this year, make the poor decision to launch a large-scale offensive today. Rejecting dialogue sponsored by the AU under President Obasanjo and engaging in an unwinnable fight does nothing for the people. Other armed groups would be wise to avoid this. While the U.S. has tools to sanction additional leaders who try to push Ethiopia down the wrong path, I still believe a reasonable political dialogue is the right way to go.”

A TPLF faction is an enemy of the Tigray people and the region. This group has violated the Pretoria agreement. This group is currently waging war in the region, proving itself to be anti-peace and a regional destabilizer. Disarming this group should be the priority.

TPLF did not act alone.
It reignited war in Tigray with backing and encouragement from the ERitrean regime.
If the world cares about peace in the Horn, the demand is simple:
Eritrea - hands off Ethiopia.

Before lecturing Ethiopia about “Its water use” maybe Mr @khaledmahmoued1 should ask himself this -
If the Nile is truly an “existential matter” for Egypt, why are scarce freshwater resources being used to keep desert golf courses green, ornamental fountains flowing, private swimming pools full, and artificial lakes shimmering inside luxury compounds and the New Administrative Capital?
Think about the contradiction.
Egypt tells the world that even a fraction of additional Nile water threatens its very survival. Yet enormous quantities of precious water are being devoted to luxury landscapes in the middle of one of the world’s most water-scarce environments.
So what exactly is the priority?
Food? Drinking water? Ordinary Egyptians? Or prestige developments and elite leisure?
Before demanding that Ethiopia leave its own water undeveloped, perhaps Egypt should answer a much simpler question:
How much more public value could Egyptians get from the water they already have if less of it were spent making the desert look like a tropical resort?
You cannot simultaneously argue that every drop is a matter of survival and treat some of those same drops as landscaping for luxury.
If the Nile is truly Egypt’s lifeline, shouldn’t its first priority be sustaining people not prestige?

Wasteful use of Nile to water a golf course in the middle of the desert 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
Egypt's Minister of water resources said that Ethiopia builds mega engineering projects and infrastructures because its officials are uneducated.🤣
No wonder why President el-Sisi stated that Egypt is not a real country. 🤡
