Are you still complaining that Egypt is circling Ethiopia? That is Egypt’s job. What is yours?
Stop the complaining. Start the outmaneuvering. Hit Egypt where it actually hurts: Nile law, the CFA, regional diplomacy, and coalition building.
Egypt is doing what an historical enemy does. It runs wherever it can find pressure. Fine.
What is surprising is Ethiopia still acting slow, quiet, and reactive on one of the easiest legal wins on the board: Kenya and the CFA.
1. The CFA entered into force in October 2024.
2. Kenya signed the CFA in 2010.
3. Kenya’s National Assembly approved the CFA ratification motion on 27 September 2017 by 83 votes to 37.
Multiple speakers in that sitting said the next step was for the Foreign Ministry to deposit the instrument with the African Union.
So why is this still unfinished?
Why is Addis collecting handshakes when it should be collecting ratifications and deposits? This is not how real diplomacy works. States push each other all the time on unfinished interests.
Look at Kenya itself.
In September 2025, President Ruto flew to Addis as chief guest at the GERD inauguration and publicly announced Kenya’s readiness to sign a new power purchase agreement to expand imports from Ethiopia.
In December 2025, Ruto made a one day working visit to Addis with the Safaricom CEO at his side, and walked out with Abiy’s public backing of Safaricom and Ethio Telecom joint investments across the Horn.
Two visits in four months. Two concrete wins for Kenya. Telecom and power. Locked in, on the record, in front of cameras.
That is what a serious state looks like when it shows up to Addis.
So the question writes itself.
Ruto wanted Safaricom backed. He got it.
Ruto wanted more GERD power. He got the door opened.
What did Ethiopia ask for in return?
Where is the public ask: ratify and deposit?
Ratify. Deposit. Finish the job.
This is not a small bureaucratic step. It is a legal weapon. Kenya completing the process strengthens the transition to the Nile River Basin Commission, tightens the upstream legal front, and buries Egypt’s colonial veto narrative deeper.
Egypt plays the long game. It prepares the language early. It builds alliances early. It shapes headlines early. It turns every delay into leverage.
And Ethiopia?
Too often, Ethiopia wins the hard engineering battle, then sleeps through the legal one. We host the summit, sign the telecom MOU, open the GERD turbines, and forget to walk out with the one signature that would actually rewrite the Nile order.
GERD was the engineering victory.
The CFA and the Nile River Basin Commission must become the diplomatic victory.
If Ethiopia does not build the future, Egypt will build it for us. And it will build it against us.
This is not strategy.
This is sleepwalking.
Wake Up!

For too long, Africa’s resources have been extracted, the value captured elsewhere, the environmental damage left behind.
No more exploitation. No more plundering.
The people of Africa must benefit - first & most - from the resources of Africa.
How is Ethiopia even sitting at the same table with people who say our share is zero?
Egypt’s irrigation minister previously said Ethiopia’s share of the Blue Nile is zero.
He said it with arrogance.
A country that contributes 0% to the Blue Nile, and sits almost 2,000 km away from the source, wants to bully the country that contributes about 85% of the Nile waters.
A country with 0% contribution wants to dictate terms to the source country.
A country with 0% contribution wants to claim control over nearly 70% of Ethiopia’s surface water.
How can Ethiopia’s negotiation team and the Ethiopian government even sat at the same table with this level of arrogance?

JD Vance says the goal is getting Iran to commit to not build a nuclear weapon.
It already made that commitment in 2015 under the JCPOA—a deal Trump tore up.
Now this admin has dragged the country into a pointless war to recover ground it gave away—and American families are paying the price.
We are building the biggest and broadest coalition in American Political History. This includes record-breaking numbers of Arab and Muslim Voters in Michigan who want PEACE. They know Kamala and her warmonger Cabinet will invade the Middle East, get millions of Muslims killed, and start World War III. VOTE TRUMP, AND BRING BACK PEACE!
My latest essay is now published: Roosevelt, U.S. neutrality, Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia, and the price of a world that spoke of principle but failed the invaded.

@africatodayMG@ConnectiveStrat As of October 17, 2025, Colonel Michael Randrianirina is the President of Madagascar. It is a short time to forget what happened to his predecessor. He will do thesame after his anniversary .
The transatlantic slave trade was a crime against humanity that struck at the core of personhood, broke up families & devastated communities.
Let us reject the false narrative of racial difference & fully commit to human rights, equality & the inherent worth of every person.
The UN General Assembly has adopted a Ghana-led resolution recognising transatlantic slavery as the “gravest crime against humanity,” passing despite opposition from the US, Israel, Argentina, and European countries.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro says the war in Gaza was an “experiment” designed to intimidate the Global South and is now spreading, warning that the world is sliding into “barbarism.”
As we commemorate the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, let's reject narratives of fear & exclusion.
Let's work together to eradicate the rising tide of anti-Muslim hatred & bigotry.
Let's build a world rooted in respect, inclusion, justice & peace.

Yes, it is true. Morocco has launched a major diplomatic and economic project called the Atlantic Initiative (officially the "Royal Initiative to Promote Access to the Atlantic Ocean for Sahel Countries") aimed at giving landlocked neighbors a direct gateway to the sea.
@GTWTW_Now Yes, it is true. Morocco has launched a major diplomatic and economic project called the Atlantic Initiative (officially the "Royal Initiative to Promote Access to the Atlantic Ocean for Sahel Countries") aimed at giving landlocked neighbors a direct gateway to the sea. In 2023.
