The Federal Government of Ethiopia is wasting a lot of money on propaganda

Post by AbyssiniaLady » 05 Aug 2020, 09:08

Abiy ahmed regime has wasted a ton of money on social media influencers for propaganda which could have been spent on tackling street child poverty, like woyane, Abiy ahmed regime has invited foreigner popular internet personalities to visit Addis Ababa, all expenses paid, Abyssinians enjoy being praised but we never walk the talk.

Ethiopia is going to disintegrate sooner or later, propaganda isn’t going to save it.

Rather than wasting money on this baseless propaganda, the government should be spending money on street children.

Sudan rejects Ethiopian proposal on filling GERD

Sudan on Tuesday announced its rejection of an Ethiopian proposal regarding the filling and operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), said Sudan’s Irrigation and Water Resources Ministry in a statement.

According to the statement,Sudan rejected the Ethiopian proposal as it stipulates that an agreement should only be about the first phase of the filling of the GERD, while it links the agreement with reaching a comprehensive treaty regarding the Blue Nile water.

The precondition for Sudan’s participation in the Nile dam talks is that an agreement on the filling and operation of the GERD should not be linked with reaching a treaty on the Blue Nile water, it said.

Sudanese Irrigation and Water Resources Minister Yasir Abbas sent a letter to South Africa’s minister of international relations and cooperation concerning Ethiopia’s changed stance, the statement said.

It noted that Abbas thought a message from his Ethiopian counterpart on Tuesday prompted “serious concerns regarding the course of the current talks, the progress achieved and the understandings reached.”

“The Ethiopian proposal represents a great change in the Ethiopian stance and threatens the continuation of the talks led by the African Union,” said Abbas, adding that the proposal constitutes a violation of the Declaration of Principles signed by Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia in March, 2015.

On Monday, Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia resumed a new round of talks on the filling and operation of the GERD.

Ethiopia, which started building the 4-billion-dollar GERD in 2011, expects to produce over 6,000 megawatts of electricity to push the country’s development.

Egypt, a downstream Nile Basin country that relies on the river for its fresh water, is concerned that the dam might affect its 55.5-billion-cubic-meter annual share of the water resources
