El Sisi: Nile dam must benefit Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan equally

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Tuesday said the Nile’s water was a gift that his country would never surrender and any deal with Addis Ababa on its new dam must be of equal benefit to Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan.

Mr El Sisi mixed angry speech and stern warnings to Ethiopia with renewed commitment to negotiations on the dam during his televised comments on Tuesday.

"I want to reassure you because our case is a just one,” he told the Egyptian public.

“This civilisation was created because of water. God almighty is the one who brought this water to us.”

He urged the public to work hard to help Egypt grow stronger, and did not rule out military action to protect the country's share of Nile water.

“No one dares eat the lion’s food. Be lions. Being a lion is not just empty talk," Mr El Sisi said.

Democracy does not work without rule of law

Ethiopian government was foolishly tolerating  extremists thinking that they would  stop their behaviour once they started expressing their opinions freely. But criminals will not learn from their mistakes and start respecting laws. It is good now that the government has realised that and has begun taking steps to make sure that laws are respected.  Without rule of law, a country can not build a democracy system.

Wayanes are like a cornered cat

Wayanes are like a cornered cat. They have run out of options. The have played all their cards. That is why they are now recycling the same old tricks  that they are liberators of the oppressed ethnics, to come to power again. But people are not fools. You may fool them once, but you can not fool them twice. They only option Wayanes have now is to surrender their power to the Tigrian people, or the people will bring them to justice. 

Ethiopia is a powerhouse in the making

A very interesting video. Ethiopia will be superpower.

Jawar is like one of the Wayanes

No Oromo voted for Jawar. He is a self-appointed defender of the Oromo people. He sells in the name of the Oromos to gain political power,  just like Wayanes  who sell in the name of the Tigrian people for political power. 

He hates Ethiopia  not because the oromos were oppressed but for religious purpose. Oromos built Ethiopia. It is a fiction that the Oromos were oppressed. There were no ethnic discrimination in Ethiopia before Wyanes came to power.

Ethiopianism and ethnic federalism will always collide

Ethiopia is a country where many ethnic group live together without hate and discrimination.  Ethiopianism  is togetherness and brotherhood. When you are Ethiopian, your religion  and ethnicity is not used against you. You can  live wherever you want, marry whomever you like.  

 

Ethnic federalism is totally contradictory  concept to Ethiopianism. It was introduced by  enemies of Ethiopian. That is why the two concepts collide. It is impossible to reconcile hate and love. As long as ethnic federalism is the law of the country, there will be no peace.

PM Abiy is showing a great leadership and he can stay in power

PM Abiy is showing a great leadership. He is willing to listen to good ideas and implements them. Ethiopia does not need to hold an election to replace his government for the time being. The purpose of democratic  election is to replace a leadership in power  with a party that has  better ideas. Democratic election is innovation of leadership, but if the party in power respects free media and also is  willing to  listen to the opposition parties and implement their good ideas as well, holding an election is not that much important. Let us not holding an election  just for  the sake of it and  waste resources.
