From Humanitarian Crisis to Football Delusion
ETHIOPIA ― In a country ranked 100th out of 123 nations on the 2025 Global Hunger Index, where the FAO and WFP have classified entire regions as hunger hotspots, Ethiopia’s leadership appears dangerously detached from reality.
Roughly 13 million Ethiopians, including 4 million internally displaced people, urgently require humanitarian food assistance. Across large parts of the country, communities continue to endure conflict, displacement, drone strikes, kidnappings, and collapsing public services.
Yet Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh travelled to Bahir Dar, the capital of one of the country’s poorest and most unstable regions, not with a plan for reconstruction or recovery, but with a fantasy worthy of a development policy. (find the speech in the comment section)
Standing before thousands, he promised that the ruling "Prosperity Party" would transform Bahir Dar such that one day, it would be capable of hosting clubs like Arsenal F.C., Manchester United F.C., Liverpool F.C. and other elite clubs whenever Europe’s weather becomes cold.
For millions of Ethiopians struggling to survive, the speech landed not as an inspiration but a mockery.
People who cannot safely travel between towns were promised Premier League tourism. Families mourning relatives lost to war were offered fantasies about elite European clubs playing exhibition matches in a conflict zone.
Citizens living without reliable healthcare, electricity, or security were told to dream about English Premier League while their daily reality continues to collapse around them.
The cruelty is not merely in the promise itself. It is in the staggering disconnect between the suffering on the ground and the fantasies being sold from the podium. Absolutely unhinged.
Sheeko cusub oo xiiso leh maahah Sheekada dhahaysa Re-shape the map is equal to Ethiopia Sea-Access.
Dadka isku howlaya arintaas waa Dadka Shaqo aan loo dirsan u haya Ethiopia.
The fact that Ethiopia is landlocked Country by nature.

Egipto, Sudán y Etiopía aún no llegan a un acuerdo por la Gran Presa del Renacimiento Etíope.
Trump se ha ofrecido a mediar en el conflicto. Así, como lo oís.
Egipto exige, pero la realidad es esta 👇🏼
Contribución de agua al Río Nilo:
Etiopía (86%)
Sudán (14%)
Egipto (0%).
El principal contribuyente de agua del Nilo son las Tierras Altas de Etiopía.
Etiopía es la fuente de la gran mayoría del caudal que llega al cauce principal del Nilo, aportando el 86% del agua total a través del Nilo Azul, el río Atbara y el río Sobat.
El otro gran contribuyente es el Nilo Blanco, desde la región de los Grandes Lagos.
El Nilo Blanco aporta el resto del caudal (aproximadamente un 14%). Aunque es el tramo más largo, pierde gran cantidad de agua por evaporación en zonas pantanosas como el Sudd en Sudán del Sur.
Se dice que Uganda contribuye alrededor del 2% (es el principal gestor del flujo del Lago Victoria).
Kenia, Tanzania, Ruanda, Burundi y RD Congo suman entre todos menos del 1% de contribución
Y os preguntaréis... ¿Y Egipto? Pues es un país receptor (caudal neto cercano al 0%).
Egipto no aporta caudal al río, sino que actúa principalmente como consumidor o zonas de tránsito dónde el agua se pierde por evaporación o uso agrícola. Es un país puramente "aguas abajo" que depende en un 95% del caudal que llega desde el sur.
Esta disparidad entre quién pone el agua (Etiopía) y quién la consume históricamente bajo tratados antiguos (Egipto) continúa siendo el eje de las tensiones.
They can delete it but it remains right here thx to Mitmita ☺️
Nobody knows who he is in Ethiopia. Let alone in Ethiopia, the average Ethio diaspora don’t know him.
PP cadres tried to create drama & chaos but he saw them for what they are 😂😂 #Monkeys
Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdel Aty, said “Ethiopia has no right to participate in Red Sea governance mechanism as it is a deadlocked country.”
By the same logic, Egypt, a downstream beneficiary with zero contribution to the Nile's flow, has no right to say in its upstream governance, let alone claiming for hydro-hegemony. After all, if geography disqualifies landlocked Ethiopia from the Red Sea, why shouldn't it disqualify non-contributing Egypt from the Nile?
