VOA Amharic Interview with Ato Abdul Hakim and Mesfin Desalgn 
The International Rivers director Ms. Hathatway has been in uproar and has made it her mission to designate herself as the sole authority of how Ethiopia should use its water resources. Ms. Hathawy has simply brushed off the intellectual and professional capacity of Ethiopia and under the guise of environmental concern did everything to hamper the building of the Gilgel Gibe III.
Please take your time and listen to yourself to an interview with Ato Abdul Hakim Mohammed of the Ethiopian Electric Corporation and Ato Mesfin Desalegne of the Environmental Agency with VOA. Both explain the diligent study made in the technical, hydrology, geology and environment to ensure the building of Gilgel Gibe III. It is empowering to hear our well equipped professionals refute the unfounded accusations of individuals like Ms. Hathaway of International Rivers. For whatever political or financial interest Ethiopia will not succumb to anyone that tries to sabotage its development and is doing an excellent job in using its water resources to its benefit. The officials said The Dam will be built and be ready in 2013. Amen!
