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

It is sad for the United Nations Security Council to consider the GERD issue as topic of discussion knowing that it is a project aimed at alleviating poverty of the Ethiopian People #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @MOFAVietNam @NDeRiviere @irishmissionun @USUN Click To Tweet
The GERD is an electric generating project not a weapon of mass distraction to be discussed ate the United Nations Security council#GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @UKUN_NewYork @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri @PassySolomon @MarrietS @EstoniaUN @IndiaUNNewYork Click To Tweet
Ethiopia is the founding member of the United Nations. The United Nations should not betray Ethiopia just like its predecessor the League of Nations that tried to slaughter Ethiopia to the Fascist Italy. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @NorwayUN @TunisieDiplo Click To Tweet
In a world that is flooded with endless security threat it is immoral to present the Ethiopian grand hydroelectric project GERD as a security issue. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @MOFAVietNam @Chinamission2un @NorwayUN @USUN @UN @antonioguterres @RussiaUN Click To Tweet
The UN should have financed the GERD in its poverty alleviation effort let alone to be an obstacle for the completion of the project financed by the poor Ethiopians to fight against the number one enemy, poverty #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @MOFAVietNam Click To Tweet
Ethiopia however poor it may be will not bow to neo-colonialists who wanted to discourage its bold move to free itself from the yoke of poverty. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @irishmissionun @USUN @UKUN_NewYork @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri @PassySolomon Click To Tweet
The Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam is a project built on our own land, on our own river, with our own money respecting all international laws. Nothing will stop us from realizing our dream. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @EstoniaUN @IndiaUNNewYork @MexOnu Click To Tweet
More than 65% of Ethiopians live in darkness without electricity whereas Egypt that contributes nothing to the Nile River enjoys 100% of electric power. How unfair is the UNSC to accept Egypt’s demand to discuss GERD on UNSC. #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity Click To Tweet
Ethiopia never aspires to harm the downstream countries by the GERD. @TunisieDiplo @MOFAVietNam @Chinamission2un @NorwayUN @USUN @UN @antonioguterres @RussiaUN @MOFAVietNam @NDeRiviere @irishmissionun @USUN @UKUN_NewYork @KenyaMissionUN @nazaninemoshiri @PassySolomon @MarrietS Click To Tweet
The amount of water that Ethiopia holds in the GERD is less than the water that Egypt wastes by evaporation from the Aswan Dam built on the Nile river #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @EstoniaUN @IndiaUNNewYork @MexOnu @NorwayUN @TunisieDiplo @MOFAVietNam @MexOnu Click To Tweet
Egypt very well knows that the GERD would not harm on Egypt. This was openly expressed by its foreign minister. But Egyptian president Al Si Si wants the GERD issue to divert the attention of the Egyptian opposition towards his unlawful rule of the country #GERDis4Development Click To Tweet
The Renaissance Dam is not an issue of threats to neither Egypt nor Sudan African regional threat is poverty #GERDis4Development #RespectEthiopianSovereignity @Chinamission2un @NorwayUN @USUN @UN @antonioguterres @RussiaUN @MOFAVietNam @NDeRiviere @irishmissionun… Click To Tweet
