Nile River is "taker of life", say Egyptians but not with Grand Ethiopian Renascence Dam Tekleab Shibru Associate Professor of Geomatics, Chicago State University Feb 24, 2020 - Previous article entitled, "Grand Ethiopian Renascence dam (GRED) is a blessing in disguise to Egypt", argued how an Ethiopia's project, GERD, is extremely misunderstood by the very beneficiary of it. The project mainly aimed at harvesting cheap and clean energy has a great potential to offset Egypt's dire energy deficit and addictions to fossil fuel and other non-renewable...
Ethiopia's naive peacemaking could lead to war Alas, Abiy appears to have let the prize go to his head and, in doing so, may have forgotten an important rule of peacemaking: timing matters. Sometimes, rushed reconciliation, regardless of the good intentions behind it, can lead to disaster. Consider, for example, the tragedy of U.S.-Iran relations. It was not the Islamic Revolution that paralyzed relations between the United States and Iran. ...

Open Letter to President Issayas Afeworki Gebre Selema 2-20-20 - Dear President,I watched your interview with interest because I was hoping you will have breaking news in your interview for the downtrodden Tegarus on both sides. But I was very disappointed there was nothing for the young Tegarus on both sides of the Mereb. I, personally, have less interest in the never ending squabble with Woyanes and Shabia. I do believe both you have betrayed your fellow fighters...

Now is the time to decide he said! (Aigaforum Feb 19, 2020)
A piece from my prison memoirs: Remembering TEGADAY and ex-prisoner Mulugeta Hagos Mekonnen Gebru Boj'Boj 02-18-20 - Blessing in disguise: before I start my main piece, I would like to mention and thank some of the bravest fellow prisoners that I had spent prison time with, who were also prison mates and friends of Mulugetta Hagos. Few years before the maniac, bloodthirsty and lunatic Mengistu regime was crushed for good, I had the "opportunity", yes opportunity, to be a prisoner in the two most notorious prison centers: Maekelawi and alembekagn. When I think about...
Greater love is to lay down one's life for one's friends: How Nile river related Ethiopia to Egypt Tekleab Shibru Associate Professor of Geomatics, Chicago State University 02-18-20 - Egyptian president Al Sisi said; “Nile River is God’s gift to Egyptian people” in his twitter account on Oct 05, 2019.

US-proposed GERD deal sets Ethiopia water release at 37 bcm, major disputes remain A draft agreement prepared by the United States and the World Bank regarding the construction and filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is expected to be sent to Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan on Monday...The US is now pressuring both Egypt and Ethiopia to compromise and agree to an annual release of 37 billion cubic meters from the Blue Nile. Engineer Seleshi, if you have to resign on protest, do so. Otherwise, do not sign any agreement that guarantees Egypt anything. Do not chain Ethiopia's future to Egypt's goodwill. If you remain silent and sign this deal as is, the future generations will curse you and your ethnic group forever for signing the second Wuchale! We will pray for you to have the strength to stand up against the Abiy government which is compromising Ethiopia's interest. Dr. Seleshi, Ethiopia is not in a good position to negotiate such an agreement. Remind President Trump how the US Senate blocked President Obama's nominee for supreme court judge during his last year in office arguing such an important decision should not be left to an outgoing president! Tell the US to give the Ethiopian people time to elect a representative government that can sign any deal.
TPLF Official Statement on the Occasion of the 45th Anniversary of the Launching of the Armed Struggle of the People of Tigrai, TPLF 02-19-20 - We are celebrating the 45th anniversary of the launching of the armed struggle of the people of Tigrai against the then-prevailing enormous oppression, discrimination, and violence in our country, Ethiopia. When we do so, we renew our promise to move forward with greater fortitude by remembering the past commitment and various achievements of the people of Tigrai and by charting our future with better clarity and stamina. When the people of Tigrai resorted to raising arms, it was well-aware of the consequences of such an engagement in terms of human...
Finally, the foreign community and the Diaspora youngsters who can not read Tigrigna or Amharic can read for themselves what TPLF is thinking and saying. Kudos! The next challenge is to add an English podcast of main news stories from Tigrai daily! Yika'Al Eyu (can be done)!!
Was Abiy drunk when he asked TPLF to change its name and dissolve to PP? How could he not know TPLF is not a typical political organization? Surely he must have known TPLF was special where hundreds of thousands of Tegarus paid their life to nourish it and sustain it over the years. He should have known that the people of Tigrai have heavily invested in this organization, unlike others! People should not misunderstand the relationship the people of Tigrai have with this organization. Judging from Lekatit 11 event of this year, let alone the people living in Tigrai, even Diaspora Tegarus living from Vancouver to Australia, from London to Qatar and from Seattle to Boston are intertwined with TPLF. The people have a big space for TPLF in their hearts! Look for your self the many events scheduled for Lekatit 11 around the globe! Eternal glory to all martyrs! Aigaforum Feb 2020
