We urge the Arab League and its member states to refrain from interfering in the issue of the GERD, which is the sole concern of the riparian countries and the African Union. African Solutions to African Problems #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @OlusegunObasnjo pic.twitter.com/iANBkVYeWN Click To Tweet

If the Arab League is going to continue making statements on behalf of Egypt, then perhaps the AfricanUnion needs to tell it not to undermine its own tripartite dispute resolution on Nile water rights between #ETH Sudan and Egypt. Fourth round filling of #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM Click To Tweet

Ethiopia is and will continue to act respecting the principle of equitable and reasonable utilization of the waters of NILE. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @USAmbUN @EU_Commission @MikeHammerUSA @AUC_MoussaFaki @Oolusegun_obj @Bankole_Adeoye @EUtoAU pic.twitter.com/cjos61lRZs Click To Tweet

Any allegations that Ethiopia has taken unilateral measures against the use of the waters of nile is a deliberate mischaracterization. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @antonioguterres @SecBlinken @StateDeptSpox @SamanthaJPower @EUtoAU @Pontifex @PMOIndia pic.twitter.com/sERX9C8nNe Click To Tweet

Egypt should act responsibly to lay the foundation for the future generations of all the nile river basin countries to nurture friendship and cooperation based on mutual respect. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @ChinaEmbAddis @AlsisiOfficial @MofaSudan @JoeBiden pic.twitter.com/frTLf8pPTs Click To Tweet

Egypt’s attempt to exert pressure on Ethiopia by using the Arab league forum indicates its lack of good faith and violates the Agreement on Declaration of principles it concluded with Ethiopia and Sudan! #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @UN @JosepBorrell pic.twitter.com/CYUMsr8cGL Click To Tweet

Ethiopia calls up on Egypt to abandon its unlawful claim to the monopoly of the Nile river citing defunct agreements and a colonial mentality based position in good faith and reach a win-win outcome. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @_AfricanUnion @EUtoAU pic.twitter.com/uJIGMoKDQj Click To Tweet

The fundamental truth is - a country which does not contribute one drop of water to the #Nile (#Egypt) - cannot demand 100% of the right to decide how the waters should be used by all -Tibor Nagy #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @OlusegunObasnjo @EU_Commission pic.twitter.com/lPE5vPFkWG Click To Tweet

The Grand #Ethiopia'n Renaissance Dam (#GERD) doesn't need a 'Legally Binding Agreement' rather the downstream countries, #Sudan & #Egypt, need to come to a win-win solution for mutual benefits. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @MikeHammerUSA @AUC_MoussaFaki pic.twitter.com/1kIpn8KMvy Click To Tweet

#Ethiopia is following the Law of International Watercourses that states the 'Principle of Equitable & Reasonable Use Without Significant Harm' to the Downstream Countries. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @Oolusegun_obj @Bankole_Adeoye @MikeHammerUSA pic.twitter.com/lyPIcRhJna Click To Tweet

NO objective reason for controversy: #GERD. Built & financed by people of #Ethiopia on the #BlueNile. GERD will enhance nations of Nile Basin. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @antonioguterres @USAmbUN @SecBlinken @StateDeptSpox @SamanthaJPower @Pontifex pic.twitter.com/HRAKqvGjTi Click To Tweet

Considering Ethiopia contributes 85 Percent of the Nile waters, it would be logical to say that ‘Egypt is the gift of Ethiopia. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @PMOIndia @ChinaEmbAddis @AlsisiOfficial @MofaSudan @JoeBiden @UN @JosepBorrell @_AfricanUnion pic.twitter.com/HRAKqvGjTi Click To Tweet

Despite its tremendous share of the Nile waters, Ethiopia has never used the river. On the other hand, Egypt does not contribute a drop to the river; however, it claims to have historic use rights that should not been questioned. how is that fair!? #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM Click To Tweet

15

Honest and heartfelt attempts for cooperation have never been the agenda of Egyptians because, deep down, they know that their claims are not about fair utilization of the resource between riparian countries. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @OlusegunObasnjo pic.twitter.com/QpU9JkwIfN Click To Tweet

In return for its efforts towards cooperation, Ethiopia was met with more threats, more funding to forces of instability in Ethiopia and ridiculous requests to operate the GERD which is absurd and ungrateful! #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @EU_Commission pic.twitter.com/CKI3w5bSwa Click To Tweet

17

With the weight of the world upon their shoulders, Ethiopians once again demonstrated they can handle the unimaginable whenever they stand together for a common cause! #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @MikeHammerUSA @AUC_MoussaFaki @Oolusegun_obj @Bankole_Adeoye pic.twitter.com/TqyEnyjYUi Click To Tweet

It is now a matter of months before Ethiopians start to enjoy the fruits of their solidarity.#4rthroundfilling #GERD. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @MikeHammerUSA @antonioguterres @USAmbUN @SecBlinken @StateDeptSpox @SamanthaJPower @EUtoAU @Pontifex @PMOIndia pic.twitter.com/1jvMsYAs30 Click To Tweet

The partial and full operation of the dam is expected to do justice to the frequent power outages in households, small businesses and industries, besides lighting up the houses of millions of Ethiopians. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @ChinaEmbAddis pic.twitter.com/qmwVPw4SC9 Click To Tweet

We have already tested success and there is more of it ahead of us. The fishing, irrigation and entertainment potential business along the new lake in formation is also tremendous. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @AlsisiOfficial @MofaSudan @JoeBiden @UN pic.twitter.com/QpJG1GdoH8 Click To Tweet

Ethiopia has generally been a country that abides by international law. It never acted against the principles of international law and violated international conventions, treaties and agreements. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @JosepBorrell @_AfricanUnion pic.twitter.com/QpJG1GdoH8 Click To Tweet

22

Ethiopia has always been countering the irrational claims of Egypt and Sudan based on the principle of equitable and reasonable utilization and the principle of obligation not to cause significant harm. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @OlusegunObasnjo @EutoAU pic.twitter.com/iANBkVYeWN Click To Tweet

23

Ethiopia’s utmost care to act in consideration of the water interests of Sudan and Egypt paid off as the filling ended without causing any problem whatsoever, as was corroborated by the lower riparian countries themselves. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM pic.twitter.com/cjos61lRZs Click To Tweet

24

Ethiopia achieved its rightful goal and, will do so until the dam is finished, by strictly following the principle of equitable and reasonable utilization while Egypt went to great lengths with its malicious acts against Ethiopia. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM pic.twitter.com/sERX9C8nNe Click To Tweet

Ethiopia’s consistent commitment for cooperative engagement, consultation and negotiation on any issues of the Nile and peaceful settlement of any misunderstanding doesn’t seem to be accepted by Egypt. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM EU_Commission @MikeHammerUSA… Click To Tweet

26

Ethiopia’s struggle for development is confronted by Egypt’s cravings for more control over the Nile and its blatant disregard for the development needs of Ethiopia. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @AUC_MoussaFaki @Oolusegun_obj pic.twitter.com/CYUMsr8cGL Click To Tweet
