Unverified Flood Impact Claims Undermine #Nile Basin Cooperation

By The #GERD International Collaborative Consortium

Statement rejecting Egypt accusations that GERD releases caused flooding. The flooding in Sudan would have been worse if it had not been GERD attenuating the flow from heavy rain. The rainfall in other rivers downstream of GERD was very high which contribute to the flooding.

Press Release on Egyptian Accusation-October 2025

@grok check your number again. It is approximately 48BCM for both. No details how the results are generated. Is the results based on reservoir simulations? For after GERD, details of the releases will help such as number of turbines in operation or additional releases etc.

[Grok @grok]

Based on the graph, annual flow volume before GERD ≈43 BCM, after ≈53 BCM (sums of monthly MCM).

Variation (10 BCM higher after): Likely due to different hydrological years; "after" data from wetter period with higher rainfall in Blue Nile basin. Dam regulation evens flow but doesn't add water—evaporation typically reduces total slightly.

@et_elias_et @YonasBiru57 Your case may be an expectation than a standard approach. Hope your family volunteered to give up their property and happy with the compensation and relocation package they received. Cite, a number of examples no compensation was given; peoples were asked to demolition their home

Yes, #EOTC followers are resilient, but behind such a beautiful scene of countless Celebrations, Orthodox Christians are being persecuted openly by @AbiyAhmedAli Gvt. Their Churches burned to ashes, Priests killed inside the Church and entire families slaughtered for keeping the one true faith.
If you enjoy this, be their voice!

Water criss in Addis has reached unimaginable proportion.Unless the government gives it proper attention it could be a reason for its downfall.Folwers and trees are priority?

[Alem Gebriel @galema12]

@lfreemansafrica Mr @lfreemansafrica you follow Ethiopian and the Horn Africa very closely. The current criss in the Amhara region is unsessary and started by the foolish action of the government in power. When a segment of society is targeted, killed, jaled etc. resistance is a natural reaction

@Milkesse Uless you and others stop the ethnic line thinking and accept the universal principle all peoples are created equal and deserve equal treatment, Ethiopia will not change. The difference b/n you and Abiy is that you are not part of the Government; ከዝንጀሮ ቆንጆ ...

[Milkessa Gemechu @milkessam]

At a time when it is almost impossible to comment on Abiy's brutal rule from within the ruling regime, we should be able to look back and learn how leaders like Lemma Megersa managed to declare the autonomy of Oromia's ruling party: "Our master is our people" speech.
As a speak-up for the Oromo people who have been suffering since Abiy came to power, I have also spoken up for the Tigrayan people who survived Abiy's devastating war. Now, the Amhara people are at the receiving end of Abiy's barbaric attacks. Amhara regional state leaders should be able to learn from Lemma Megersa how to say NO to their masters. I fully support Amhara's demand to govern its people. Here is a three-minute speech that declared complete autonomy for the ruling party of Oromia at the time. But a wolf in sheep's clothing hijacked the train.

[Alem Gebriel @galema12]

@robel_no @Jawar_Mohammed Jawar used to say "Oromo First" and produced a lot of decons that are part of the architects of the current criss. Is he a changed man? I doubt it. At least he still has not publically stated ethnic based admistration is the cause of all the problems and need be erradicated.

[Jawar Mohammed @Jawar_Mohammed]

Sending detainees back to a prison cell on the same day they underwent surgery is cruel and inhumane treatment.

The two prominent Amhara leaders, MP Christian Tadele and Yohannes Buayalew, should be released instead and not subjected to further mistreatment. Their continued incarceration serves no purpose and has only deepened societal polarization.
