The only way for #Ethiopia to break the cycle of #FoodAidTrap & dependence on western food aid is to fully utilize its natural resources including Abay. Any attempt to force Ethiopia sign #NeoColonialNileTreaty & foreclose future use of Nile is seen as a national security threat.

When the Americans come and preach to you on how you can't use the Nile water for development, show them this. States like Arizona would not have existed were it not for the Americans using the transboundary Colorado River.

Next agenda must be resettlement to Western Ethiopia, Blue Nile Basin. There must be some kind of well organized, well planned and active voluntary resettlement of Ethiopians along the vast fertile planes of its western border, clearly defining its boundaries and territories.

This could be somewhat similar to what the Americans managed to do in Western United States. If you think World Bank/IMF or USAID would support Ethiopia’s resettlement plan to western Ethiopia & Blue Nile Basin, instead of food aid, think again.

The Blue Nile River, originating from Lake Tana in Ethiopia, is a vital water source for the Nile Basin countries, contributing about 84% of the Nile River's water during high flow season. Ethiopia currently utilizes very little of the water for irrigation, with only 4.76 billion

Egypt’s iridescent "historical claim" for "total utilisation of the Nile water" has outlived its colonial era shelf life. A new era of fair and equitable utilisation is upon us. It's up to Egypt now to come and agree with us, Africans.
