Tibor Nagy (Tibor Nagy), a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and U.S. Ambassador to, and a true friend of Ethiopia, speaks about the NILE & the GERD. He said, historically Egypt who doesn’t put a single drop of water into the Nile has all the cards on the use of Nile water while Ethiopia who contributes 85% of the Nile water is completely excluded from using the Nile Water. The Colonial treaties on Nile (that Egypt referees to as water norms) is the dictionary example of unfairness. #GERD #ItsMyDam #AfricaRising

🇪🇹 I made this AI video because I heard Trump falsely claim the US financed the GERD and that it harms Egypt. Let’s be clear: – Ethiopia financed and built the dam. – The Nile still flows. – Egypt isn’t harmed. – Ethiopia has the same right to rise. #GERD #Ethiopia #FactCheck

#Ethiopia: “The dam is on. There are now two big dams on the #Nile - the #GERD and the #Aswan Dam,” Professor John Rao Nyaoro. Professor Nyaoro, former Executive Director of the Nile Basin Initiative (#NBI) and author of ‘Realizing the Water Security of the Nile Basin States’, said this in a comment in the wake of the completion of the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). “Now Egypt has got no alternative but to agree to come to the table, cooperate with all the Nile Basin states for equitable and reasonable utilization of the GERD so that they can also benefit,” he told Citizen TV over the weekend.

“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

🇪🇹 When the World Bank Said No, Ethiopia Built the Future Anyway Denied funding by the US-run World Bank—an institution that dismissed them as “lesser races”—Ethiopia did the unthinkable. With a GDP of just $29 billion, it rallied 130 million citizens, including the diaspora, to fully fund a $5 billion dam themselves. The result is the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD): Africa’s largest hydroelectric project, a monumental feat of engineering, and a thunderous act of defiance. It is proof that dignity needs no permission. And a stark warning to every gatekeeper who said no: Africa is done asking.

Trump calls impact of #GERD on Nile waters “a big problem” U.S. President Donald #Trump has commented on the Grand #Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), describing its impact on Nile waters as “a big problem” for Egypt. “They built a little dam in Ethiopia that’s like the largest dam in the world. And it affects the water going to the Nile. Would you say that’s a problem? I would say that’s a big problem,” Trump said on Saturday at the American Cornerstone Institute Founder’s Dinner in Mount Vernon, Virginia. He listed the GERD alongside other global crises, including tensions between #India and #Pakistan, #Thailand and #Cambodia, #Armenia and #Azerbaijan, #Kosovo and #Serbia, and #Israel and #Iran. In July, Trump controversially claimed the GERD was “largely” funded by U.S. Watch

#Ethiopia defends #GERD at #UN, urges #Egypt to end 'destabilization efforts' in Horn of Africa Ambassador Yoseph Kassaye, Ethiopia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, defended the country's right to build the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile River during a response to Egypt's statement at the UN General Assembly. He emphasized that the dam is crucial for Ethiopia's development and energy needs, benefiting millions of people. Ambassador Yoseph criticized Egypt’s approach to managing Nile water, referring to it as a "colonial-based policy." He also called on Egypt to halt what he described as "destabilization efforts" in the Horn of Africa. "The old playbook that seeks to secure unfettered flow of the Nile by preoccupying the source countries with conflict and insurgencies will not work," the ambassador stated, urging Egypt to "immediately stop its destabilization efforts in the Horn of Africa."

Egypt is expanding the Toshka spillway and its lakes in the far south of the country to accommodate excess water resulting from Ethiopia’s unilateral management of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Toshka Lakes can take in around 56 billion m³ of surplus Nile water.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is a non-consumptive water projects, that generates electricity by passing water through turbines, allowing most of it to continue downstream. Unlike consumptive uses such as irrigation that divert and deplete water, GERD doesn’t block Nile from flowing to downstream countries.

#GERD project manager says #Sudan, #Egypt should have shared half of construction cost In a televised interview, Eng. Kifle Horo, project manager of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), said the project brings significant benefits not only to Ethiopia but also to downstream countries, particularly Sudan and Egypt. He emphasized that Sudan will benefit from consistent water flow, reduced flooding, full reservoirs, and year-round farming opportunities. On Egypt, Kifle noted that the dam’s location in Ethiopia reduces evaporation compared to Egypt’s plain-based reservoir, potentially saving an additional 4 billion cubic meters of water annually. He argued that given these advantages, “Sudan should have covered at least 30% and Egypt 20% of the cost,” adding that instead of cooperating, both countries opposed the project, costing Ethiopia lives and resources.
