Can't agree more on this with you, our legend Ambassador. Now is the right time, especially, for African countries to safeguard their developments by investing on and start harnessing their God given abundant capacities for Agree Energies. #CORE_Development #EV_Chrg_Stion #GERD

[Dr Eng Seleshi Bekele @seleshi_b_a]

Ethiopia’s long-term investments in renewable energy and resilience are paying off during today’s global energy shocks. From the #GERD inauguration in 2025 to bold policies like banning non-electric vehicle imports in 2024, the country has reduced its vulnerability to external oil shocks. This is proof that strategic planning and renewable energy investment strengthen energy security. #Africa must now accelerate its transition and harness its vast renewable potential.

Very interesting and eye-opening article, wow!

Only for those who really want to understand the real global level consequences and implications of the current war!

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

BREAKING: Qatar’s Prime Minister stood at a podium today and delivered one sentence that will fracture Gulf alliance architecture for a generation: “Everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is.”

He did not name the country. He did not need to. The Arab diplomatic vocabulary has a grammar for this. When a Gulf leader says “everyone knows” without naming, the audience fills the blank. The X discourse filled it within minutes. The interpretation was dominant and immediate across Arabic-language accounts, with Gulf analysts and Arab media converging on the same reading.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who also serves as Foreign Minister, called for an immediate halt. His full statement: “This war needs to stop immediately. The aggression needs to stop immediately. Because everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is, and dragging the whole region into this conflict is dangerous.” He described Iranian strikes on Qatar as a “dangerous miscalculation” and “betrayal.” He urged restraint from all sides.

Consider the position this man occupies. Qatar hosts Al Udeid Air Base, CENTCOM’s forward headquarters, the nerve centre of Operation Epic Fury. American bombers launched from Qatari soil. Iran retaliated against the LNG facility down the road. The same government that provided the runway for the war is now absorbing the economic consequences. QatarEnergy declared force majeure. Ras Laffan sustained extensive damage. Seventeen percent of Qatar’s 77 million tonne capacity is structurally impaired. CEO Saad al-Kaabi told Reuters repairs could take three to five years. Twenty billion dollars in annual revenue is offline.

The Prime Minister of a country that enabled the operation is publicly questioning who benefits from it while his national energy company faces half a decade of impaired production.

That is not ambiguity. That is a fracture.

The fracture runs through the entire Gulf alliance system. Saudi Arabia hosts Prince Sultan Air Base and absorbed Iranian missiles on Riyadh. The UAE hosts Al Dhafra and lost Shah and Habshan to zero. Bahrain hosts the Fifth Fleet and declared partial force majeure. Kuwait hosts Camp Arifjan and is watching two refineries burn. Every host provided the military infrastructure. Every host is absorbing economic retaliation. And the most outspoken just asked, on camera, whether the country benefiting from degrading Iran at zero direct cost is the same country whose allies are paying the full price.

The market implications are immediate. If Qatar’s political establishment is signalling frustration with the cost-benefit distribution of this war, the assumption that Gulf states will indefinitely absorb strikes while providing bases becomes fragile. A frustrated host is a conditional host. Conditional basing changes the calculus for every military planner who assumed Al Udeid was permanent.

The LNG implications are structural. A multi-year force majeure on contracts to Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China is not a delivery delay. It is a repricing of the global gas map. JERA’s CEO said there is no spare bridge capacity. Asian spot LNG doubled to $24 to $25 per MMBtu. European TTF surged 68 to 85 percent. BASF and Yara are cutting fertiliser output. The facility that feeds them may not fully recover until 2029 or later.

The diplomatic signal and the infrastructure damage are now the same story. Qatar’s PM is not merely commenting on the war. He is repricing Qatar’s willingness to absorb its consequences. The country that houses the command centre and the country that exports 20 percent of the world’s LNG are the same country. And its leader just told the world, in one sentence, that the arrangement may no longer be worth the cost.

Ethiopia has finalised its preparations and stands ready to host the distinguished delegations of the 39th African Union Summit and the Second Italy–Africa Summit.

As you gather in the diplomatic capital of Africa, I warmly invite all distinguished delegates to plan ahead and extend your stay beyond the halls of the AU to experience a new era of African-led tourism development.

[The B1M @TheB1M]

This massive $12.5BN new airport is currently under construction in Ethiopia. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects for Africa's largest carrier Ethiopian Airlines Group, phase one of Bishoftu International is set to serve 60 million passengers a year, with capacity rising to 110 million passengers (through four runways) once all subsequent phases are built.

The airport sits around 40km south of Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa and has been primarily designed as a transit hub – it's expected that some 80% of passengers arriving will board connecting flights without leaving the building.

Phase one is targeting a 2030 completion date.

What an incredible day in Addis Ababa! Many of us from the embassy community had a fantastic time joining thousands of runners and walkers (and a lot of dancers!) at the 2025 Great Ethiopian Run on November 23, 2025. It was wonderful to celebrate the spirit of #Ethiopia alongside so many enthusiastic participants. The energy on the streets was inspiring. The #GreatEthiopianRun, founded by Haile Gebrselassie, is Africa’s largest road race. Congratulations to everyone who took part and made this day so memorable. #US_Ethiopia

[Eleni Gabre-Madhin @EleniGabre]

I cannot think of a prouder moment for #Ethiopia and for #Africa.

Today, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), is inaugurated, a US$ 4.3 billion mega-project launched in 2011, financed _entirely_ by the government and the people of Ethiopia.

I remember vividly, as CEO of the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange, setting up a way for each willing staff member to contribute a portion of their monthly salary to this dam. And seeing hundreds of our staff choose to do so. I remember the excitement by which my sons received bonds in their name from their grandparents, so that they too would be part of history.

And today is that day of history.
Today is the day that celebrates the millions of everyday Ethiopians who shared in this great vision and in the giant collective dream of a small country to dare greatly, to defy conventional “development” experts who thought otherwise, and to forge its own destiny on its own terms.

Nothing is perfect, and there is much we have yet to do, but one thing we cannot deny is that this dam is a testament to the will of the Ethiopian people, united in a single purpose.

Congratulations Ethiopia 🇪🇹

We, Ethiopians, Achieved Centuries-Old Dreams
Today, we are on the eve of the inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) that marks the realization of a vision held by generations of Ethiopians. For centuries, the people of Ethiopia have dreamed of harnessing the power of the Abbay (Blue Nile) to fuel national development, energize transformation and improve livelihoods. This monumental project, finally coming to fruition, symbolizes our national pride and sovereignty. It is a testament to Ethiopia’s determination to utilize its natural resources responsibly and equitably for the benefit of its citizens and the broader region.

We Have Not Achieved This Result Overnight but Overcome Numerous Odds!
The journey to this moment has been long and challenging. Ethiopia faced international skepticism, economic constraints, and geopolitical pressures from various quarters. Technical challenges, security concerns, and complex negotiations with downstream countries added layers of complexity. Despite all these obstacles, our steadfast commitment, resilience, and innovative spirit enabled the country to progress forward and reach this historic milestone.

The GERD stands not only as an engineering marvel but as a symbol of overcoming adversity through perseverance.
As we have been all along saying, it is built with Ethiopian sweat and blood to benefit not only #Ethiopia, but also the people of African in the region to access clean energy including multiple benefits to immediate downstream countries.
Congratulations to All Fellow Ethiopians who made this possible and those friends of Ethiopia and Africa’s development for enduring support.

[Pulp Faction @DanielsonKassa1]

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is absolutely gigantic. It contains more cement than the entire city of Addis Ababa. It’s bigger than all the pyramids of Egypt put together. And the best part, it produces huge amounts of clean energy. A massive accomplishment by the people of Ethiopia🇪🇹 #GERD
