Armoured Vehicles Surround Ethiopian Embassy In Cairo

June 5, 2013

Awramba Times – The Ethiopian embassy in Cairo is surrounded by heavily armed personnel and armoured vehicles. Ethiopian citizens, both refugees and Ethiopian-passport holders, are savagely harassed and beaten by ordinary Egyptians and the police everywhere they move.

According to our sources, it is very difficult for Ethiopians to move around and many people are starving as they fear for their life to go out and buy foodstuff and drinking water. Egyptians are preparing a massive demonstration against Ethiopia to be held next Friday.

On the other hand, Ethiopian Ambassador to Egypt Mohamed Dirrir met with Egyptian opposition leader and former Secretary General of the Arab League, Amr Moussa in Cairo today. Ambassador Mohamed Drirr has a two hours meeting with Amr Moussa on the recent developments on the Nile and has made clear that Ethiopia has no any intention of harming egypt or affecting its access to the Nile waters.

The Construction and Development Party, the political arm of Jama’a al-Islamiya, slammed, on Tuesday, reform advocate and National Salvation Front Coordinator Mohamed ElBaradei for apologising to Ethiopia over the national dialogue session which discussed the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam crisis.

On his Twitter account on Tuesday, ElBaradei –also the President of the Dostour Party– called on President Mohamed Morsy to offer similar apologies to Ethiopia and Sudan for “the irresponsible utterances” made during the session held on Monday.

The live broadcast of the meeting held by Morsy and various political figures included sensitive national security issues and suggestions for naval action against Ethiopia.

Khaled al-Sherif, spokesperson of the Construction and Development Party, called on ElBaradei to apologise to Egyptians for refusing to defend Egypt’s water rights and apologising to Ethiopia for being offended during the presidency’s meeting.

“It’s a shame that ElBaradei apologised to Ethiopia for a meeting he escaped from which involved President Mohamed Morsy and political forces mulling over the risks that endanger the country and its national security,” Sherif said in a statement on Tuesday.

“I hope that ElBaradei will raise his country’s interests above his own, come to the discussion table, and contribute to resolving the country’s problems, at the head of which is the national crisis that endangers Egyptian water security,” he added.
