Ethiopia welcomes Egypt’s change of heart over Nile water row

By Tesfa-Alem Tekle

June 13, 2014 (ADDIS ABABA) – Ethiopia on Thursday commended Egypt’s unprecedented and an official decision to peacefully resolve a long-standing dispute with Addis Ababa over a controversial power plant project known as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).

“Ethiopia strongly welcomes Egypt’s interest to re-launch talk over the GERD and solve the problem through dialogue,” spokesperson for Ethiopia Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Dina Mufti told journalists.

“Egypt has no other option except dialogue and win-win negotiation to find a solution that is acceptable by both sides,” he added.

Egypt’s newly elected president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, has recently pledged to resolve the water dispute with Ethiopia through dialogue.

Ethiopian officials said that al-Sisi is expected to pay an official visit to Ethiopia soon probably making it his first trip to a foreign nation since he assumed office in June 8.

Ethiopian foreign minister Tedros Adhanom, who attended the new president’s inaugural ceremony in Cairo, has held meeting with al-Sisi and other high ranking officials over the multi-billion dollar power plant project.

During their discussion Adhanom has reaffirmed Ethiopia’s commitment for cooperation with Egypt based on mutual trust and confidence.

Al-Sisi and Adhanom have also agreed to reactivate the tripartite technical dialogue between Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia and harmonise existing differences by high-level political consultations.

Addis Ababa insists the $ 4.6 billion dam project won’t adversely affect Egypt and Sudan instead the downstream countries will be benefited from the cheap and renewable hydro power processed electricity it generates.

Egypt considers the massive dam project, as a threat to its water security arguing it will eventually diminish its water share.

SUDAN REAFFIRMS SUPPORT

Meanwhile, Sudanese vice-president Bakri Hassan Saleh has reaffirmed his country’s commitment to the dam project which Ethiopia is building in Nile river near the Sudanese border.

Saleh who was in Addis Ababa earlier this week to attend a regional summit of the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) made the remarks while holding talks Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn.

“Sudan will derive multiple benefits from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project,” Saleh said according to the state-run Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency (ERTA).

SOUTH SUDAN CRISIS

Saleh and Desalegn have also consulted on the six-month-long conflict in South Sudan.

While commending Ethiopia’s role to peacefully end the conflict in neighbouring South Sudan, Saleh called on Addis Ababa to continue exerting maximum efforts to bring lasting solution.

Desalegn has also assured his country would remain committed to end the political crises in the youngest nation.

“Ethiopia will continue to put pressure on the South Sudanese rivals through all channels available,” the Ethiopian premier said.

On Tuesday, rival leaders of the two SPLM rival factions, president Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar agreed to end fighting and form a unity government within two months.

At a news conference on Friday, spokesperson for the Ethiopian foreign ministry Dina Mufti said IGAD-member countries have been frustrated by the failure of previous deals.

He however went on to saying that the regional bloc mediating the two warring factions won’t hesitate to take action if the two sides once again violate the latest agreements.

He added that a peacekeeping force drawn from Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya will be deployed to end the conflict which has killed thousands since violence erupted in mid-December last year.

OPDO DRAFTS A “NEW RESOLUTION” TO SILENCE CRITICS

(OPride) — On June 2, six members of the Oromo People's Democratic Organization (OPDO) cabinet in Dembi Dolo voted to further silence Oromo activists who are opposing Addis Ababa's so-called “integrated development master plan," locals said.

The resolution allows local government agents to intercept any communication with 'suspected' persons.   

Since April 25, students across various Oromia-based universities have been protesting against the Ethiopian capital's expansion, which they say would displace Oromo peasants from vital farmlands to make way for a state-led development. Dozens of student protesters have been killed and many others wounded by security forces. An unknown number of students have been imprisoned or dismissed from their studies in an ongoing security sweep intended to stump out the fervent opposition.

The current resolution, which was formulated by order from the higher echelons of the ruling party to muzzle all forms of dissent in Oromia, has been copied to all zones in the region, according to a resident of Dembi Dollo, who requested anonymity for fear of repercussions. It aims to silence any individual who opposes the master  plan, the source said.

The town of Dembi Dollo serves as the political and economical epicenter of the Kellem Wallaga Zone. It's also one of the towns where the government faced a strong resistance against the proposed master plan. The resolution aims to clampdown on those who “condemn their policies” and also meant to warn the public against any support, the source added. In order to enforce the new directive, the regional government have deployed “more forces from police training camps before they even finish their training,” according to locals.

The resolution gives local authorities the "legal pretext" to eavesdrop on “short message service and mobile internet history" of those suspected of anti-government activities, according to this informant. Locals fear that the unprecedented bill will give pseudo local officials the impunity to lock up critics, real or imagined, at the snake-infested Dhidheesa federal prison.

In a detailed report last April, the Human Rights Watch noted the disproportionate targeting of Oromo activists in Ethiopia’s surveillance program. “A significant number of Oromo individuals have been targeted for unlawful surveillance,” the Human Rights Watch noted. “Those arrested are invariably accused of being members or supporters of the OLF...but in the majority of cases, Oromos were under surveillance because they were organizing cultural associations or trade unions, were involved in celebrating Oromo culture (through music, art, etc.) or were involved in registered political parties.”

The six OPDO cabinet members who conducted last Monday's meeting —  Tamrat Kibebu, Abara Mangistu, Qana'a Tadese, Aweqe Dawit, Tesfa Tasama and Fiqadu (father's name not available) — unanimously approved the resolution, according to our source.

Dembi Dollo's district 4, dubbed the 'enemy base' by local officials, remains as the vexing point for regional government officials. It has also become normal to hear gunshots in the town, which has left the public in dire situation of insecurity. For instance, last week gun shots were heard three times in District (Kebele 02) behind the old bus station and no one could say who fired the shots and why. The unpredictable state of affairs have also created fear among the local security officers, who are now busy checking their own officers guns, according to local sources.

Human rights groups and activists continue to denounce the killing and arrests of the students and protesters. In its May 13 report, the UK-based Amnesty International noted, “many hundreds of protesters are reported to have been arbitrarily arrested, and are being detained incommunicado and without charge....detainees are at risk of torture.” But the ongoing security clampdown has received little media attention. The current resolution is likely to facilitate the ground for security officers to hunt, arrest and torture all those perceived as a threat.

The Oromo, Ethiopia's single largest ethnic group, make up the majority of the Horn of Africa nation's population. The Ethiopian regime, now in power for two decades, is focused on state-led development that critics say ignores human rights and press freedom. A part of this initiative, the controversial master plan to expand Addis Ababa's territories will convert massive land currently held by subsistence farmers into large-scale industrial zones by uprooting the locals’ livelihoods.

Egypt President to visit Ethiopia within 2 weeks

Relations between Cairo and Addis Ababa soured last year over Ethiopia's construction of a $6.4-billion hydroelectric dam on the Blue Nile

World Bulletin/News Desk

Newly-inaugurated Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi will visit Ethiopia within the coming two weeks, Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom said Thursday.

"President al-Sisi will visit Ethiopia and meet with Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn for talks on bilateral relations and the Renaissance Dam, among other issues," Adhanom told Ethiopia's official news agency.

The Egyptian government, for its part, has yet to confirm al-Sisi's visit to Ethiopia.

Relations between Cairo and Addis Ababa soured last year over Ethiopia's construction of a $6.4-billion hydroelectric dam on the Blue Nile. The project has raised alarm bells in Egypt, which relies on the river for almost all its water needs.

Water distribution among Nile Basin states has long been regulated by a colonial-era treaty – which Ethiopia says it has never acknowledged – that gives Egypt and Sudan the lion's share of river water.

During his inauguration speech on Sunday, al-Sisi said he would not allow the dam's construction to adversely affect Egypt's relations with Ethiopia or other African countries – a gesture that was welcomed by Addis Ababa.

Adhanom described al-Sisi's statements as a "turning point" in Egypt's position.

He went on to say that an Ethiopian delegation – consisting of lawmakers and representatives of religious institutions, media outlets and the private sector – would soon visit Egypt.

"The move [dispatching the delegation] aims to boost relations between the Egyptian and Ethiopian people," Adhanom said. "We expect the visit will help boost diplomatic relations with Egypt."

Sidama is Under Siege following SLM/Medrek’s permission to Demonstrate TPLF’s Unconstitutionality!

Kukissa, Sidama Reporter from Sidama Capital Hawassa,

The arduous journey of Sidama Liberation Movement (SLM) and Medrek (the coalition of opposition parties) demanding permission of the rulers to assert their right of peacefully demonstrating the recent massacre of Oromo civilians and others crimes TPLF’s regime has committed and is committing against the Oromo, Sidama, Ogadenia, Hadiya, Gambela, Benshangul, Kambata, Kaffisho and Shakichcho, Gedeo and others peoples of nations and nationalities- was finalised with implausible permission with attached preconditions. The authorities of TPLF’s rulers were eventually obliged to concede after postponing it for over a month due to a hard work of SLM/Mederek coalition whose leadership knocked at the doors of the authorities on daily basis defying odds and intimidation; the reason they were only allowed to hold their demonstration on the 10^th of June 2014.

Even TPLF’s Sidama and regional authorities tried to hide from SLM/Medrek’s leadership until the last minute when they were boldly told by the gallant SLM/Medrek leadership that they never accept further deceits and delays as long as the Constitution allows them to follow the procedures and policies laid out to bypass the permission of the government after satisfying the necessary requirements- which has been done over a month ago.

The following report sent on 11^th of June 2014 speaks volume.

Following the permission of the demonstration for the 14^th of June 2014, TPLF/EPRDF’s regime army, others several hundreds of undercover security forces, federal and regional police regime sponsored terrorists involving Agi’azi (TPLF’s assassins and peaceful demonstrators’ killing machines) are said to be roaming on the streets of the Sidama capital Hawassa and its outskirts since the 11^th of June 2014. The numbers of the said TPLF’s peaceful civilians’ terrorising agents are said to be equivalent to the numbers of Hawassa dwellers.

Meanwhile, the regime also has restricted the roots of planned marches of the demonstrators for Saturday, from accessing and passing through the central part of the city to the less popular parts. Additionally, the regime’s Sidama messengers are assigned to organise various conferences for the entire Sidama civil servants for 14^th June 2014 with the aim of blocking civil servants from taking parts on Saturday’s SLM/Medrek demonstration. The aforementioned ill-conceived conferences the regime’s messengers have organised will take place at Fuura Rural Development Studies Institute (Hirgaalamete Katamira), 40 km away from Hawssa.

Besides, the organisers (SLM/Medrek) are hundred per cent confident that the wider Sidama, Oromo, and the peoples of others nations and nationalities will take part defying odds and denounce the criminal actions of the regime in power and demand the regime to stop its current plan of uprooting Oromo peasants from the outskirts of Finfinnee also called Addis Ababa (under the guise of Master Plan), and the Sidama from Hawassa outskirts in addition to others critical points the demonstrators unanimously raise. The intimidation strategy of the regime by accumulating its army, federal and regional police including Agi’azi’s killing machines shouldn’t be destructing hurdle to the participation of the wider peoples of nations and nationalities who are all deprived of their basic rights to assembly and freedom of expression.

Both SLM and Medrek are considered to be at loggerheads with the current TPLF’s democracy decorated brutal regime, therefore the regime leave no stone unturned to intimidate its leadership and members as it feels that SLM/Medrek’s unity is a serious threat to its interests in Sidama land, Oromia and others southern areas’ and ultimately to its survival.

SLM/Medrek kindly invites all to take part defying regimes unconstitutional actions. This message must be communicated between the Oromo, Sidama, Ogadenia, Gedeo, Hadiya and Kambata Diasporas and their grass root communities back home to enable them to be a full part of this movement.
