Ethiopian official: Egypt using Renaissance Dam to appease its internal problems

A picture taken on 28 May 2013 shows the Blue Nile in Guba, northwest Ethiopia, during the river's diversion ceremony 


Demeke Meknen, head of the Renaissance Dam National Coordination Council, told the Ethiopian Fana Radio on Tuesday that Egypt is using the dispute over the dam as a means to appease its internal problems.
 
“The Egyptian officials do not want to take advantage of the dam in a fair way,” he said.
 
“The success of the dam will be through the Ethiopian people, not by Egypt’s attempts to halt it,” he said, adding that his country is capable of building large-scale projects to preserve national unity without any funding from abroad.
 
Meknen praised Sudan for its position regarding the dam. “Khartoum agreed to share common resources in a fair way,” he said.
 
Ethiopia is celebrating the third anniversary of laying the foundation of the dam on 11 April.
 
Relations between Egypt and Ethiopia were strained when the latter started building the dam, as Egypt fears it will reduce its annual Nile water quota of 55.5 billion cubic meters. Egypt is also concerned about its security if the dam were to collapse for any reason.
 
Ethiopia considers the dam a sovereign development project to produce electricity. It does not accept any interference in the project from abroad.

Regardless, in order to expose the ongoing hate propaganda on the Oromo people to the world, Gadaa.com has decided to publish the following English translation of Prof. Getachew Haile’s Amharic article in its entirety.

The fact that we are Christians and Muslims, Oromos and non-Oromos with failed system to accommodate our differences substantially degraded us. On the contrary, had we spoken one language, followed one religion and cherished one culture, we would not have stagnated in backwardness for centuries. The devastating impacts of our religious diversity can be seen from the demolition of the Axumite civilization by Yodit Gudit and the burning of the Amhara civilization by the invading Muslim forces of Ahmed Gragn. Perhaps, these civilizations were able to keep the country in pace with the rest of the world by the time, but they were demolished and we remained stagnated at where we were by then even to this date. Our knowledge about these two civilizations had to entirely rely on few written documents that survived the fire.

The Ethiopian Regional Administration in Ogaden Throws out Of Jail Ogaden 300 Battered and dying Detainees into the streets of Jigjiga

The Ethiopian Regional Administration in Ogaden Throws out Of Jail Ogaden 300 Battered and dying Detainees into the streets of Jigjiga
ONLF LOGO
The Ethiopian regional Administration Ogaden released 300 detainees from Jail Ogaden at midnight on March 6, 2014. Since then more than 20 twenty of the released prisoners died within the last three days. The detainees who are battered physical, mentally and morally are composed of young children born in the prison whose parents died while in custody, prisoners who lost their sight from torture and starvation, detainees who became raving mad after extensive torture and detainees who could no longer take care of themselves and are physically broken after being subjected to harsh and degrading treatment.
For the last three months the regime barred relative to take food to the detainees, while proving nothing of substance to the prisoners.
The regime’s butcher men in Ogaden were too ashamed to release the prisoners during the day and had to throw them into the streets of Jigjiga under cover of night. They later claimed they released the prisoners after cholera broke out in the prison.
ONLF categorically condemns the Ethiopian government for the crimes it is committed against the Ogaden people and in particular the inhumane treatment of the civilian population in Ogaden. The Ethiopian regime’s cowardly decision to collectively punish the civilian population after it failed to confront ONLF fighters is a crime against humanity and we condemn all those who prop this criminal regime by providing funds that enables it to continue committing such Crimes against the Ogaden people and the Ethiopian people as well.
ONLF call upon the UN to investigate the crimes committed in Ogaden as the situation in Ogaden has reached now a catastrophic level and demand that Ethiopia release all civilians detained as part of the Ethiopian regime’s collective punishment campaign in Ogaden.
Finally the international community should be aware of dire developing situation in the Ogaden as food stock dwindle and  the whole population in the territory are suffering from natural and man-made drought mainly due to  trade and aid embargo. The people are reporting that millions are starving because there is nothing to buy for even those who can afford.

Kun ilaalcha dhuunfaa kiyyaa ti. Obboo Ahmadis ittisuufii miti. Kun karaa tokko, karaa ani dubbii kana ittin ilaaluu fi hubadhu dha. Karaa biraatiin yoon ilaalu garuu, dhimmi kun dhimma dhugaarratti hundaaye ta’ullee; Obboo Juneeddiinis waan badaa uummata Oromoorratti dalagullee; kanaafis ittigaafatama qabaatullee; yeroo gabaasni kun itti dhiyaate (timing) yeroo gaarii natti hin fakkaatu. Xinnoo waan muddamaan dhiyaate dha jedheen yaada. Maaliif yeroon kun yeroo gaarii hin taane? Muddamaan dhiyaate yoon jedhu hoo maal jechuu kooti? Gaafiilee kanaaf deebii gabaabaa kennuun yaala.
Innumtuu (Obboo Juneeddiin) sababaalee adda addaatiin, fakkeenyaaf qaaneffachuudhaan yookaanis waan itti amanee hojjechaa ture sanarratti hanga lubbuun isaa dabartutti irratti cichuudhaan of dhoksuu waan maluuf, gadi bayee dubbachuuf tarii fedhii qabaachuu baatus, otuu gabaasni kun uummataaf hin dhiyaatin dura Obboo Juneeddii ofitti dhiyeessanii wajjin dubbachuun ykn haasa’uun tooftaa gaarii ture jedheen yaada. Kun silaa karaa lamaan carraa bana ture. Tokkoffaa, Obboo Jundeeddiin gadi bayee waan ta’e hundaa uummata isaatti ibsuu fi achumaanis dhiifama gaafatee, xinnaatullee boqonnaa sammuu akka argatu carraa isaaf bana ture. Lammaffaa  ammoo, innumtuu (Juneeddiin) waayee kana dubbachuuf fedhii kan qabaatu yoo ta’e, mootummaa Wayyaanee keessatti nama bakkee guddaa (taayitaa olaanaa) qabaachaa ture waan ta’eef (badii inni uummata Oromoorratti dalage akkuma jirutti ta’ee jechuu kooti) waan diinni godhaa ture fi jiru akka saaxilu fi hawaasota addunyaatti akka himu malaan ittifayyadamuun ni danda’ama ture.
Dhimma kana karaa biraatiinis yoon ilaalu ammoo, wallaalaa ofii gorfachuun; jallaa ofii qajeelfachuun; beekees ta’ee otuu hin beekiin, kan uummata keenyarratti badii dalage fi dalagaa jirus balaaleffachuu fi abaaruun barbaachisaa ta’ullee, yeroo ammaa yeroo tokkummaan Oromoo abdii namatti horachiisaa jiru kanatti, obsa dhabnee waan tokkotti muddamuun gamnummaa natti hin fakkaatu. Mee fakkeenyaaf haa jennuu, otuu Habashootni namticha kana (Juneeddii) ofitti qabanii dhimma ofiitiif itti fayyadamanii, hangam aararratti aara ofitti daballa? Nama uummata isaarratti balleessa hanga kana hin jedhamne dalage/dalagde seenaanuu isa/ishii hin hirraanfatu. Innuu otuu du’ee biyyee keessa hin seenin du’ee jira. Kan du’aan addunyaarraa boqate wayya. Kan jiruudhaan du’e nama du’a lama du’e dha. Kun waan wal nama mormisiisuu mit. Kanaaf, dhimma kana itti muddamuun yeroon isaa yeroo murteessaa natti hin fakkaatu jedha.
Amma garuu, akka natti mul’atutti, namtich kun karaa adda addaatiin waan of salphiseef; kanarratti dabalamee ammoo, erga inni baqatee Ameerikaa seene kanatti dafanii waayee kanaan isa simachuun, fedhiillee yoo qabaate, namtichi kun gadi bayee Wayyaanees waan saaxilu fi ofiifillee badii dalagetti amanee uummata Oromoo dhiifama waan gaafatu natti hin fakkaatu. Namtichi kun du’a lama du’ee jira; salphina hangana hin jedhemane keessa jira. Kan isaaf wayyu silaa, kan dabre dabree, yoo kutannoo fi hamilee qabaate, gadi bayee, akka aadaa hawaasa hammayyaa keessa jirutti, waan dalagamee dabreef uummata isaa dhiifama gaafachuu dha. Kana godhuunuu silaa gootummaa (jagnummaa) dha. Seenaa xuraaye sana hanga tokko xurii irraa dhiquu ta’a jedheen yaada. Gaafii guddaan garuu, Obboo Juneeddiin gara uummata irraa dhalateetti deebi’uudhaaf carraa kanatti fayyadamuu danda’a moo akkuma seenaa isaa xureesseetti dhuma lubbuu isaa eeggatee addunyaa kanarraa boqota laata? kan jedhu ta’a.
Gara dhimmichaatti deebi’uu fi cuunfuudhaaf, waan Obboo Ahmad Saayyoo dhiyeesse, akka ilaalcha kiyyaatti, kan barumsa ta’uu qabu dha. Biyya keessattis ta’ee biyya alaatti, warri dhimma saba ofii dhiisanii; fedhii ofii guuttachuuf alagaa fi diina jala deemanii; uummata ofii miidhan, booddeen isaanii salphina fi badii akka ta’u hubachuu qabu. Karaa kanaan yoo ilaalame, gabaasni kun qeeqamuu hin qabu. Gabaasni kun dhugaa uummata keenyatti himamuu qabu dhas. Warrumti diina tajaajilaa jiranillee, beekaniis ta’ee otuu hin beekin, kan balleessa hojjechaa jiran, dhugaa kana hubatanii barumsa irraa argachuuf isaan gargaara jedheen yaada, amanas. Namni seenaa badaa hojjete, yoomiyyuu maqaa badaadhaan yaamama; du’ullee abaaramaa jiraata; kan waan gaarii saba isaatiif dalage ammoo, du’ullee saba issa biratti jaalala fi kabaja guddaa argachaa; maqaa gaariidhaan yaamama. Yoomiyyuu seenaan isa hin dagatu. Dhumarratti, gaafii tokko kaaseen, barreeffama kiyya xumura. Seenaa impaayara Itoophiyaa tana keessatti, ilmaan Oromoo alagaa fi diina tajaajilaa, uummata ofii midhaa, boodarra garuu salphatanii hafuun ykn akkuma salphatanitti du’aan addunyaa kanarraa boqachuun; sana boodas seenaa badaadhaan yaamamuun eenyurratti dhaabbatina laata?
Galatoomaa!
