Thus the #American government still would recognize #Ethiopia as a sovereign nation and would not recognize Italy’s conquest.

#GERD #Webuild: The main dam stands 170 meters tall and spans 1,800 meters at the crest, with a volume of 10.7 million cubic meters of concrete — earning it the record as the largest roller-compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam ever built in Africa by volume.

.@POTUS and @VP are investing nearly $1 billion in airports across the country.

Last week, @USDOT Deputy Secretary Polly Trottenberg and I visited Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to highlight how this funding will create jobs, modernize terminals, and improve the passenger experience.

A remarkable achievement:

Ethiopian Airlines (ET) reported $6.1 billion revenue for FY 2023, a 20% increase from 2022.

Transported 13.7 million passengers.

ET is now the world’s 14th largest airline (by revenue).

Bangladesh exported clothing worth $42.6b last year. The industry helped lift 160m, primarily women, out of poverty. @FT

#Ethiopia too can export billions:
*Vast industrial parks
*Large productive labor
*Cheap energy
*Close to markets

@POTUS should reinstate Ethiopia’s #AGOA

Today, Africa's largest power plant, the GERD’s first turbine began generating power. This is a good news for our continent & the downstream countries with whom we aspire to work together. As Ethiopia marks the birth of a new era, I congratulate all Ethiopians!

1/3 Ethiopia is a strong economic engine on the continent of Africa, and its survival as a democratic and safe nation will be dependent on its ability to engage in trade and economic opportunities for its people. We have to stand with Ethiopia against divisive forces and

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

I join other African leaders in reiterating that a continent of around 1.3 billion people needs a permanent voice and seat at the UNSC represented through a bloc. Issues and decisions that concern the continent cannot continue being addressed without continental representation.

I asked a man who emigrated from Ethiopia if he was vaccinated. He said “of course”. He told me he came to the United States for the opportunities this country offers. Like the vaccines.

[Zemedeneh Negatu @Zemedeneh]

The Tweet of #Ethiopia’s Minister of Water & Energy Dr. @seleshi_b_a is a powerful statement of determination & accomplishment. He confirmed that #GERD’s 2nd filling was completed today. You all make us proud. Congratulations!

Nothing will stop Ethiopia from completing GERD!

I'm lucky to work with some really creative nerds at @stpaulpublicw. Check out how cool our "Eastbound Kellogg Bridge" proposed project is with this interactive and historic page: https://t.co/WQWAfKywVD.

The false impression about Africa’s true size was reinforced through the use of maps designed centuries ago which distorted shapes and sizes and made areas far from the equator such as Europe and North America appear larger than they actually were #AfricaDay

Just in: High Aswan Dam (HAD) storage through last week.

At ~179m, HAD sits on 30-year RECORD storage for this time of year (going all the way to 1992).

We see no downstream impact of water shortage on #Egypt & #Sudan because of #GERD this summer.

Great time to #FillTheDam !
