#Coming_UP: The Standard Signal Ep.26| #ትሰማ: Why Violence Against Ethiopian Women Is a Crisis of Power Can a campaign about violence against Ethiopian women really be apolitical? #TsedaleLemma and #YordanosBezabih (#Jordi), a fierce advocate for gender equality and intersectional Afro-feminist, unpack the deeper struggle behind #ትሰማ (#Let_Her_Be_Heard) - from institutional failure and selective justice to patriarchy and the politics of power. The conversation also challenges the idea that gender equality is somehow foreign to Ethiopian culture, asking a fundamental question: Who gets to define culture, and what happens when protecting “culture” becomes a way of protecting unequal power? Watch the full conversation. Premiers at: 5:30 PM EAT today.

#Coming_UP: The Standard Signal Ep.25| One Prime Minister, Two Narratives: What Abiy’s Amhara & Oromo Interviews Reveal One Prime Minister. Two audiences. Two very different messages. Why did Abiy Ahmed choose highly choreographed interviews with state-controlled Amhara and Oromo media shortly after his party’s landslide election victory? Tsedale Lemma and Professor Ezekiel Gebissa decode the political strategy and competing messages behind the interviews. They also discuss the Prime Minister’s claims about Ethiopia’s relationship with the #Red_Sea, and the dangers of invoking historical memory to project contemporary territorial politics.

“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

"There is no peace to be found from #Prosperity... We cannot secure our sovereignty through peace," #TPLF Chairperson #Debretsion_Gebremichael said during a public forum in #Mekelle on Sunday, where he accused the federal government of failing to implement the #Pretoria Agreement and urged #Tigrayans to "restore our national honor" and prepare to safeguard the region's sovereignty.

“Come back to your people”: Debretsion urges #Tigray armed groups outside region to resolve differences through dialogue In a video message aired today, Debretsion Gebremichael (PhD), who was re-elected as president after the TPLF reinstated the region’s pre-war council, called on Tigrayans who have taken up arms outside the region and are fighting alongside “the enemy’s army” to return and pursue political differences through dialogue. “Come back to your country, come back to your people,” Debretsion said, urging them to join existing political organizations in Tigray or present their ideas through their own platforms and seek public support through peaceful political processes.
