Why do you think Abere’s statement about the natural occurrences of ‘46 lakes’ in Ethiopia is ‘bragging?’ Should he keep quiet or lie that we have only 2-3 lakes?
If you inform ER readers that Eritrea is gifted with a 1000km long coastline, I would say ‘good for you!’. That’s how a level-headed sane neighbor should react. But strangely, of all African countries, you Eritreans got immediately irritated by the statement and downplayed the relevance of the lakes? Why?
Yes, Ethiopia is currently unable to feed itself just like all other African countries or countries that were unable to feed themselves in the past. But the lakes are there to stay for millennia, providing the basis for radical transformation when the right time comes.

Having owning multiple lakes and rivers and yet you can’t feed your people; then what’s the use of it? I would be ashamed if I were them, to brag about all thaw nature resources and yet my government is extending its hand for handouts to feed its people year after year.
