@vanessatsehaye Why terrified? It is the Afar people who don't want you, the people that u degraded by diverting their God given river courses, reducing their livelihood to dust and poverty. They have never belonged to you. Be terrified of your deeds instead
The launch of the pan-African media platform Pulse of Africa marks an important step toward countering negative media representations of Africa and asserting our agency in shaping our own narratives. Although Africa is vast and full of potential, it has too often been portrayed as smaller and less capable than it truly is. This is why Pulse of Africa represents such a significant and humble beginning and one that, in the coming years, is poised to grow into a leading continental media platform.
There is no doubt that Africa is on the path to becoming a major industrial powerhouse and a key global player. The establishment of Pulse of Africa is therefore a forward-looking step, laying the foundation for a strong and authentic African voice in global media.
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.

@EIshmael_ Wake up, times have changed, the best way forward is to cooperate with neighbouring countries, Egypt won't give you a drop of water but make you their proxy scarifice just like the west did to Ukraine. It is time to Think and act rationally
The Atlantic cover in 2001: "Russia is Finished" (narrative for the next 24 years), now the same script is applied to China.
- Political propaganda is dangerous as you end up believing your own socially constructed reality - and fail to address the challenges of the real world
The moment Julius Malema explains expropriation of land without compensation like he’s explaining to a 5 year old. Exactly how Trump and the rest are to be schooled.
