Ethiopia to UN: Key Statements on the Nile and Regional Relations
1. We contribute 85% of the Nile’s water, while Egypt contributes 0%.
2. Egypt still views the Nile in a monopolistic manner based on colonial-era agreements.
3. Ethiopia will continue exercising its right to development using the Blue Nile waters, in accordance with the principle of ‘equitable and reasonable use’.
4. We hope that Egypt will reconsider its colonial stance on the Nile and view the issue from a perspective of cooperation and equality.
5. Egypt’s old approach of keeping upstream countries preoccupied with conflicts and unrest to ensure the flow of the Nile’s waters is no longer viable.
6. Ethiopia calls on Egypt to immediately stop destabilizing Africa.
7. We invite Egypt to negotiate based on international law.
8. The Entebbe Agreement will come into effect as of October 13, 2024.
9. Egypt has a golden opportunity to restore peaceful relations with the countries of the Nile Basin Commission by signing the Entebbe Agreement.

@AbrahamPostDoc Encouraging and progressive but accountability from both sides should be in place. We hadn't passed through H2H football matches; the war costs millions of lives and trillion economic disaster. The next generation should learn the costly of civil war!!
Ethiopia peace deal: The word Eritrea isn’t in it once. Yet, much of the “hostile propaganda” (which is prohibited by the deal) from rebels & sympathizers accuse Eritrea. If Eritrea was such a key issue, why sign a peace deal without one mention? @reda_getachew
I express my deep satisfaction at the signing of the Ethiopia peace agreement in Pretoria & congratulate @AbiyAhmedAli's leadership, mediation teams, & the AU for this momentous outcome to silence the guns!
IGAD played an active role in the AU-led mediation efforts from the start
Congratulations all Ethiopians & friends! Just overwhelmed. We should & could have avoided all that mess. I believe we have learned, after burned, we have learned the hard way. Victory is for Ethiopia and peace itself. We must all cheer up and march forward than leaking wounds!
