In respect of GERD Meles‘s role must be upheld. He was regarded as a good father of God GERD and as a leader of the pioneering campaign to bring faith and vision to life. For this, he is remembered and respected by more than 120 million Ethiopians — regardless of any change of government or political shift. He lives on in the spirit and in the heart of Ethiopia.

It is true that many of Meles‘s political decisions carried negative consequences. His ethnic-based policies have left deep scars and remain at the root of many of Ethiopia’s wars and political challenges today. We cannot deny this legacy. Yet, at the same time, we must also acknowledge his role in advancing Ethiopia’s politics and economy. He was the leader who put into practice the vision of his predecessor, laying the foundation for the very buildings of GERD that are now being inaugurated.

To ignore his legacy is as obvious as denying that one plus one equals two. While I personally disagree with many of his policies, I still thank Meles Zenswu for his contributions. He must be respected, he must be remembered, and he must also be recognized as a good father of God of GERD.

It is disappointing that no pictures were shown, no journalists, no politicians mentioned his name during the inauguration. This silence is not only a shame but also a loss for us all. We cannot build truth by constructing buildings while ignoring the truth itself.

Today is a day to remember Melese Zenawi in a positive way.

Agreed but don’t forget the midget melese refused building of Haileselassie statue in OAU ground among the forefathers of the organization or something like that. I remember there was a big controversy about that. Haile deserved that or more for his contribution of African independence. The Midget, Eng Simegnew, the unknown who paid in their lives deserved some thing to remember at the site of the dam.
You know Ethiopian political system is built in ምቀኝነት እብሪት የ ethnic አንዱ በአንዱ ላይ ማነሳሳት building on the ruins of the previous ruler and ንቀት. ይሄኛውም ተራው ይጠብቅ:: Belive me for the current ruler and system worse revenge will happen when the time comes as everything it does is against the Ethiopian people and the poor. It will be dramatically erased from history once Ethiopia gets restituted to its former glory! God can do that. We will not continue to cry with cycle mad leaders and violence.

Gerd - give Melese Zenawi a credit. It is his.
But why was the evil man came up with this vision? Maybe that is the only place that can produce a mega energy for the Tigray Tigrie project. Could be.

Abiye Ahmed Ali is full of drama. A con artist trying to steal other people’s work.

FORGET GALLU EVEN WE AGAZIAN AGAME SEE MELES AS BEING TRAITOR AND TOO SOFT. WE REMEMBER HOW HE REFUSED TO PREPARED TIGRAY WHEN OUR OWN AGAZIAN AGAME KING I SAY AZZZZZ WAS PREPARING TO WAGE WAR ON HIS OWN ADI ABO TIGRAY

Yea, I also asked why GERD was built in Benshangul, not in Amhara region. May be some one with water eng idea knows if that had scientific value. But can not rule out conspiracy too! Everything Meles and TPLF did was against Amhara ethnic as they posited Amhara their class enemy and demise only OPDO to come and destroy them. Amhara infact was amicable to them but they still hated and wanted to destroy it.
Abiy should have sought a job in acting vs being some sort of project CEO than a leader!
They show us him crying What for? croc tears

Gerd belongs to Ethiopia. Period.
But What the hell is Benashengol? The Weyannies might as well be creative and declare it the Tigray region.
I have visited Bahir Dar, lake Tana and the Nile fall in 2018. The fall is a short distance from Bahirdar. They might as well call Bahir Dar the capital of Benashengol.
