The GERD (Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam) is a Development Project Not a Peace & Security Issue! Involving UN Security Council is Inappropriate!

While the benefits of #GERD is not limited to power supply to #Ethiopia and it can benefit Sudan and Egypt by removing up to 86% of silt and sedimentation, the attempts by Security Council is unacceptable. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @Chinamission2un Click To Tweet
The #GERD made a great sense of ownership in the country from rich to relatively poor, most of whom had contributed to the construction of the Dam. Thus, any act by Security Council against this ownership will fuel to destabilize the Horn of #Africa Region. #GERDis4Development Click To Tweet
Following the first-year filling of #GERD, most scholars stressed that the dam benefits the lower riparian countries. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @MOFAVietNam @NDeRiviere @irishmissionun @USUN @UKUN_NewYork Click To Tweet
The illegal interference of Security Council against the rule of law and the witness of these neutral scholars is absolutely condemned. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri @PassySolomon @MarrietS @EstoniaUN @IndiaUNNewYork @MexOnu Click To Tweet
UN Security Council is going to look the issue of #GERD next Thursday; really terrible. UN Security Councils mandate is limited to issues related to global peace and security, but #GERD is the matter of development. #GERDis4Development… Click To Tweet
What is the problem with UN Security Council; why it discuses #GERD knowing that the dam is a hydropower generating plant, which has nothing related with global peace and security risk.#GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity Click To Tweet
Surprising! UN Security Council is to discuss #GERD next Thursday, but why is that? is the dam nuclear power plant that risks global peace and security? . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @MOFAVietNam @NDeRiviere @irishmissionun @USUN @UKUN_NewYork Click To Tweet
Because of #Ethiopia planted #GERD for generating Electric power; International PEACE & SECURITY is not violated. Generating Electric power ever never threat security internationally. . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri Click To Tweet
Hydroelectric power is a matter of changing mechanical energy into electric energy, it can't consume a glass of water. So how #GERD affects Egypt water?. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @PassySolomon @MarrietS @EstoniaUN @IndiaUNNewYork @MexOnu @NorwayUN Click To Tweet
Including #UNSC, the world should understand the problem of every #Ethiopian mother. #Ethiopian mothers still using backward energy source: kerosene & woods for cooks. . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @TunisieDiplo @MOFAVietNam @Chinamission2un… Click To Tweet
#UNSC must not deluded by Al- Sis gov't's white propaganda, which he is using as a relief mechanism of Egyptian dissidents. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @USUN @UN @antonioguterres @RussiaUN @MOFAVietNam @NDeRiviere @irishmissionun @USUN Click To Tweet
#GERD is a tool of international peace & Security; rather it's an opportunity for regional cooperation for Investment . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @UKUN_NewYork @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri @PassySolomon @MarrietS @EstoniaUN @IndiaUNNewYork Click To Tweet
The world should understand, when #GERD begin generating power, as it changes the entire livelihood of many. This means on the other hand it decreases migration level of the region to EU & Arabs for job seeking. . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity… Click To Tweet
The world should know, suppressing internal dissidents, Al- Sisi Gov't is using #GERD as a tool to be hegemon over Arab countries . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @NorwayUN @TunisieDiplo @MOFAVietNam @Chinamission2un @NorwayUN @USUN @UN @antonioguterres Click To Tweet
Even though the Security Council has major accountability for the protection of global peace and security, the problem of #GERD is past the scope of UN Security Council and it is no longer clear why the Government of Egypt takes the case to SC. . #GERDis4Development Click To Tweet
The #African Union is a sufficient institution to resolve the Renaissance Dam dispute. #African Affairs by #Africa!. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @irishmissionun @USUN @UKUN_NewYork @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri @PassySolomon @MarrietS @EstoniaUN Click To Tweet
The Security Council should first address international crisis issues. #GERD is not a security issue; it is a hydroelectric dam designed to boost the economic development of #Ethiopia and neighboring countries. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity … Click To Tweet
It is not right that the two sides of the negotiations, Sudan and Egypt, plan to go to the Colonists Union, undermining the role of the #African Union! . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @MexOnu @NorwayUN @TunisieDiplo @MOFAVietNam @Chinamission2un @NorwayUN Click To Tweet

The dam is a power plant, not a nuclear power plant so the UN Security should not review it . #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @UKUN_NewYork @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri @PassySolomon @MarrietS @EstoniaUN @IndiaUNNewYork @MexOnu @NorwayUN @TunisieDiplo Click To Tweet
