@khaledmahmoued1 He is on his duty. The ongoing conflict is just a minor incident which can be handle by few troops. Ethiopia is beyond your imagination. You paid those mercenaries to hinder our development. So why he pay his attention for this kind of trap?
Together with @IsmailOguelleh and @AlikoDangote, to day we announce a major strategic investment connecting Damerjog in Djibouti to Dewele in Ethiopia through a new refined petroleum products pipeline, supported by storage terminals at both ends.
The project will be developed through a partnership between Ethiopian Investment Holdings and the Dangote Group. This landmark infrastructure will reduce logistics costs and delays, strengthen energy security, and enhance the efficiency and resilience of the Ethiopia–Djibouti corridor.
More than a pipeline, this is an investment in future growth, regional integration and a more secure shared economic future—with African investment at its center.
Together Djibouti, Ethiopia and the Dangote Group will develop a 120-kilometre pipeline
connecting Damerjog to Dewele, with more than one million cubic meters of combined storage capacity at the two ends.
It is rather heartbreaking to learn that despite efforts by many including the international community to avoid yet another round of war in Tigray, the TPLF leadership early in the morning today launched an all out offensive against government positions in Afar and Amhara. It has taken over federal controlled airports in Tigray leading to the suspension of flights to and from Tigray. The TPLF politico- military leadership has obviously taken irresponsibility to new heights.
@khaledmahmoued1 The era of TPLF stronghold has gone forever. It lost almost everything good it has. The good diplomats, the matured commanders of army... So now they are fighting just to satisfy their masters those who have no any care for the people of Tigray.
U.S. Ambassador to Ethiopia Ervin J. Massinga’s Statement on Recent Developments in Tigray and Afar: “I am disappointed to see the leadership of the TPLF, that the United States sanctioned earlier this year, make the poor decision to launch a large-scale offensive today. Rejecting dialogue sponsored by the AU under President Obasanjo and engaging in an unwinnable fight does nothing for the people. Other armed groups would be wise to avoid this. While the U.S. has tools to sanction additional leaders who try to push Ethiopia down the wrong path, I still believe a reasonable political dialogue is the right way to go.”

@TiborPNagyJr I can say you're right. But the government is always ready for negotiations. But, almost all those rebels has the request that can't be answered. What will you do if you were a PM of Ethiopia?
@NurAbda No need of a political consultation about the nile. Let alone the minister, the position of 135M people of Ethiopia about the nile is the same.
