It’s fascinating how misinformation is dressed up as analysis to push a one-sided, oversimplified narrative. Let’s break down the fallacies in this argument: @ShebaPushStart

[Sheba - PushStart 🇺🇸🇪🇹🇪🇷🇺🇸 @ShebaPushStart]

If the only tactic PP operatives employ are to disparage Eritrea and its gov, create conspiracy theories about Eritrea meddling in Ethiopian affairs and push nostalgic sentiments of Ethiopias hey day, it’s evidence of the desperation to galvanize patriotic Ethiopians into yet another colossal war.

At the very least it’s purely disingenuous and has nothing to do with the economic impacts of being landlocked with 120 million people. “I will own another nations sovereign land by force and send thousands to die if I have to” is not reflective of the Ethiopian governments diplomatic genius as PP loyalists have consistently claimed.

It is however evidence (once again) that the prosperity party’s survival and tenure is based on constant war and conflict.

Whether you agree or disagree with my assessment the “numbers don’t lie” argument from “some” should include the 1 million and counting casualties from internal conflict, the several million who are displaced, and majority of the population who are increasingly under economic despair, tons of metrics on the impacts of the gov induced inflation on the masses etc etc. But we shouldn’t care about those stats right? Cause numbers don’t lie… but PP Cadres can’t not lie. It’s the only thing they do well.

On the other hand, Addis Ababa is definitely pretty and shiny. I’ll definitely agree that’s the reality. It’s heaven for tourists from what I hear, if not affordable to the majority of its citizens. Electricity is bright but scarce for the majority who can’t afford it. BUT the idea of course is to emulate prosperity not to actually achieve it.

Who is the aggressor? Who is trying to breach international laws? Who respects or should be respected for honoring their sovereign rights and the sovereign rights of others? Is war the solution? I think NOT

It was a pleasure to meet Prime Minister @anwaribrahim of Malaysia on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit and build on the momentum of his historic visit to Addis Ababa in November 2025.

Our discussions focused on expanding investments, tourism, renewable energy partnerships and cooperation in the lead up towards COP32. We also explored opportunities to learn from Malaysia’s experience in industrial parks, productivity, and manufacturing.

Ethiopia and Malaysia share significant potential for a stronger economic partnership, creating new opportunities in investment, technology, skills, and sustainable development.

Ett slutgiltigt valresultat har vi först på onsdag kväll men om siffrorna står sig har väljarna avsatt Ulf Kristersson som då avgår. SDs genomklappning bryter en trend för högerpopulistiska partier i Europa. Det har varit ett viktigt mål för oss. Nu ser vi fram emot att Magdalena Andersson tar ansvar för valresultatet som ny statsminister tillsammans med viktiga samarbetspartier. För ett Sverige som håller ihop.

𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐄𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐀𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆!

The relaxed, friendly interaction between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at #BRICS2026 is promising and reassuring. They looked comfortable, engaged and genuinely at ease with one another. I believe we should see more of this.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said:
“People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they have not communicated.”

What did MLK mean?
Conflict often begins with fear. Fear grows from unfamiliarity which persists when people refuse to communicate.

I wonder if the leaders of Ethiopia and Egypt truly know each other. Public statements from both sides reflect a degree of suspicion about each other’s intentions and goals. It seems to me mutual suspicion has hardened into deep mistrust. Cumulatively, that has manifestly turned into political and diplomatic hostility making dialogue and compromise seem impossible.

In studying the video clip and their respective body language, I see two leaders ready to sit together, listen to each other, speak honestly, and discover each other's national aspirations and concerns. I look at the warm handshakes, the natural hand gestures, the smiles and laughter of the two leaders and wonder about the optics. Will the people of Ethiopia and Egypt be pleased or displeased by the friendly rapport of their leaders in the video recordings?

I see the two leaders in the video relating to each other not as enemies but as leaders of two great nations who can go very far for the mutual peace, progress and prosperity of their peoples.

In the brief video clip, I saw PM Abiy and President Sisi communicating. To me, they were not simply talking. They seemed to be listening, engaging, explaining, asking and answering questions.

The two leaders can take it to the next step. Genuine communication will result in acknowledgement of legitimate concerns of each other and discover common ground.

One of the biggest lessons I learned at the Ethiopian National Dialogue Conference was that when people start genuine communication they quickly discover common hopes, common fears, common needs, common aspirations, and their common humanity.

MLK was not suggesting that communication magically eliminates genuine disagreements. People can communicate and still disagree profoundly. But they are far more likely to resolve disagreements peacefully when they understand each other’s national interests as brothers and sisters than seeing one another as threatening abstractions.

That lesson applies directly to Ethiopia and Egypt.
Ethiopia and Egypt cannot build lasting peace through media warfare, public accusations, diplomatic posturing and competing narratives. Their leaders must know one another, trust one another and communicate directly with one another.

I learned from participating in the Ethiopian National Dialogue Conference that there is very little that cannot be addressed when people are willing to engage in sincere, genuine and honest dialogue.

Dialogue does not require surrender. It does not require abandoning principles. It does not require pretending that disagreements do not exist.

Dialogue, especially among leaders, requires that they must learn to understand, respect and communicate with one another and become moral agents for their respective societies.

That is why the friendly interaction between Prime Minister Abiy and President Sisi at BRICS is more than a pleasant diplomatic moment. I see it as the beginning of an excellent opportunity to resolve the disputed Nile issues once and for all.

There is no need to litigate the Nile dispute in the court of world public opinion or on social media. No need for media declarations and public posturing.

1. Meet quarterly.
Prime Minister Abiy and President Sisi should meet regularly, alternating between Addis Ababa and Cairo.

2. Private first, public second.
No cameras. No speeches. No grandstanding. Let the two leaders speak candidly about their concerns, interests, fears and red lines in private.

3. Create a small Joint Ethiopian-Egyptian Nile Team.
A trusted group of Ethiopian and Egyptian experts should be organized to undertake tasks and report directly to the two leaders. No direct involvement of the bureaucracies.

4. Put every difficult issue on the same table.
GERD operations. Drought conditions. Hydrological data sharing. Water security. Notification procedures. Future Nile development, Etc.

5. Separate principles from mechanics.
Explicitly acknowledge the legitimate interests of both countries: Ethiopia's right to development and Egypt's legitimate concerns about water security. The rest is negotiating the technical mechanisms for addressing those concerns.

6. Adopt a “no surprises” principle.
Neither Ethiopia nor Egypt should ever be blindsided by lack of critical hydrological and dam operation information, failure to disclose issues and problems, or an unanticipated decisions.

7. Let science lead to the extent possible.
Create a joint scientific mechanism through which Ethiopian and Egyptian hydrologists examine drought scenarios, climate variability and operational data and provide the leaders with common factual findings.

8. Stop fighting through the media.
Governments should communicate disagreements directly to each other rather than allowing headlines and public rhetoric to harden positions. There should be a hot line for direct communication between the two heads of state to communicate as needed.

9. Look beyond the dam.
Explore cooperation in solar energy, electricity trade, irrigation efficiency, desalination, agriculture and Nile-wide infrastructure. The more shared interests Ethiopia and Egypt create, the smaller the space for confrontation becomes.

10. Give diplomacy a deadline.
Set a 90-day political objective: identify the remaining disagreements, quantify them where possible, and present the two leaders with concrete options—not another endless round of negotiations.

Why wait to start direct dialogue?

I believe Ethiopia and Egypt will eventually find a way to live with their differences and cooperate on the Nile.
History, geography and mutual interests will make it inevitable that these two ancient civilizations must ultimately find a modus vivendi, a feasible arrangement and a practical compromise on the use of Nile waters.

I hope PM Abiy and President Sisi will continue the BRICS conversation in Addis Ababa and Cairo.

George Bernard Shaw famously wrote:
“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’”

Some people may look at PM Abiy and President Sisi sitting together and ask, “Why?”

I look at them and ask: Why not?

I am pleased to participate in the 18th BRICS Summit in India, under the theme of building for resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability.

Across BRICS, we have capital, technology and markets. The opportunity is to bring them together, create more value, and ensure that value is generated where resources are found. Ethiopia is ready to build these partnerships across minerals, renewable energy and our growing industrial base.

We must also build resilience into our systems, ensure AI serves the needs of our continent, advance predictable debt resolution, and link climate action with economic transformation.

Together, BRICS can turn cooperation into shared value, resilience and sustainable growth.

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

I had the opportunity to meet with President Vladimir Putin as well today for a constructive discussion on strengthening the strategic partnership between Ethiopia and Russia.

Our discussions reaffirmed our shared commitment to advancing cooperation across key areas, including defence and security, trade and investment, education, and technology. We also explored opportunities to expand educational exchanges and deepen collaboration in cultural and people-to-people ties.

We further discussed strengthening our cooperation on climate and development priorities, including collaboration toward COP32, while working together to expand mutually beneficial trade and economic exchanges.

Today in Mojo, we inaugurated the first phase of a modern logistics center expansion, a 60-hectare hub set to play a major role in making the #AfCFTA a success for Ethiopia and the continent. With capacity for up to a million 20ft containers a year, it enables domestic packaging of dry bulk cargo, saving foreign currency and creating jobs for our citizens, powered by the country's first-ever Rail-Mounted Gantry crane.

Fully digital and part of the DESSU Corridor linking Ethiopia, South Sudan, and Uganda, this milestone strengthens our place in global logistics and opens a new chapter in regional economic integration.

🇪🇹 A New Year. A New Renaissance.

TIME Africa presents the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam as more than Africa’s largest hydropower project. Built largely through the sacrifice and determination of Ethiopians at home and abroad, it is proof that Africans can finance bold dreams, build at scale, and turn shared resources into shared prosperity.

GERD can be more than a dam. It can be a bridge connecting Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, and the wider region through clean energy, economic interdependence, and cooperation.

As Ethiopia welcomes 2019, may we choose bridges over walls, hope over division, and collective progress over conflict.

May this be a year when our unity becomes our greatest power and Ethiopia’s renaissance helps illuminate Africa’s future.
