Families fleeing #Moyale clashes appeal for urgent aid in Kenya, estimates suggesting up to 10,000 displaced families who fled the ongoing clashes in #Ethiopia’s #Moyale are appealing for urgent humanitarian assistance after crossing into Kenya with few belongings. In a video report by Butiye Online TV, displaced people describe their plight and call for help as they struggle to find safety, shelter, food and other basic necessities. Initial estimates by the displaced people themselves suggest that up to 10,000 people, mostly women and children, have fled across the border. The displacement follows escalating territorial and administrative dispute between Ethiopia’s Oromia and Somali regional states, which erupted into armed clashes on 22 October, with reports of heavy gunfire and homes and businesses burned. Unconfirmed reports indicate multiple casualties from the ongoing conflict. The Kenya Red Cross Society has launched an emergency response to provide temporary shelter, food, safe water, medical assistance and other essential support to affected families.

Video: Over the course of the last few days, major state run and party owned media outlets in #Ethiopia have upped the discussion on the need for Ethiopia’s direct access to sea outlet. One of these broadcasts was aired on 16 October on the state owned EBC English program discussing how “the lack of direct coastal access to sea outlet stands out as a notable hindrance” for Ethiopia’s sustainable economic growth and its ambitions to become “a middle income country”, as well as develop its military, “specifically its navy force and exert influence in the region.” The host explains efforts being undertaken under the leadership of the incumbent to “rectify historical injustices and reclaim lost rights.” The short program runs to a wrap with the host highlighting “the quest for an alternative sea outlet for Ethiopia becomes an unquestionable necessity, and not an option.” AS.

“No amount of dams built in Ethiopia will hurt Egypt or Sudan”: Meles Zenawi Today marks 14 years since the passing of #Ethiopia’s late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. His words on the Nile are worth replaying as #Egypt renews its warnings alleging Ethiopia “plans to control the flows of the Nile River to downstream countries” by building more dams. Meles was the leader who envisioned and mobilized Ethiopia’s signature, self-financed national project, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (#GERD), initially advanced under the name “Project X” before its official launch. Speaking to Egyptian media shortly before his death, Meles argued that additional dams in Ethiopia would not threaten downstream countries. “On the contrary, if dams are built in Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan will benefit.” #Ethiopia #Egypt #Sudan #Nile #GERD #MelesZenawi #NileBasin #GreatEthiopianRenaissanceDam #EthiopiaEgyptRelations

#Ethiopia: “If there is any Ethiopian who believes that Ethiopia will forever remain a geographic prisoner, that person is a dead one,” PM Abiy Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has reiterated his government’s position that Ethiopia “must be relieved from the shuttered doors and the isolation” that he believes has contributed to its poverty. He made the remarks at the inauguration of his latest book, Medemer, on Tuesday night. “It is not wise to assume that a country as large as Ethiopia should be handed to our children while encapsulated,” Abiy said while ruling out the prospects of “conflict and war.” However, he said that Ethiopians should not believe in the notion that Ethiopia will remain "a geographic prisoner."

Video: #Ethiopia’s President Sahle-Work Zewde admits Ethiopians are unable to create a “national narrative” that “unites us”, unable to build a state that enjoys “legitimacy” by majority of Ethiopians, and unable to “reconcile our differences.” The president said this in her annual opening speech outlining the government’s priorities at the joint session by the House of People’s Representatives (HoPR) and House of Federation (HoF) this afternoon. President Sahle-Work also highlighted that these failures have led Ethiopia to “become two-faced”: one that signifies the failures and the other that defines a country that has rich national gifts, culture, and the history of independence She also admitted that Ethiopians have failed to reconcile their differences with each other and instead resorted to have “civil wars” and violence that are costing the country incalculable prices. The President cautioned that the country should mend this broken track-record and correct these contradictions. In order to do this, Ethiopians should “pause and evaluate” the road that the country came so far to consider what’s been beneficial and what’s been costly for the country to ensure the foundations to hand over a better country for future generations are laid. The new chapter the country is going through now is not of “few individuals”, but of a collective chapter for “all Ethiopians”, she said. Ethiopians should move head with the issues they agree on and engage in dialogue on the issues of disagreement. “History should not become the source of our differences,” the president said, adding that more time must be invested in mapping out the future of the country.
