Is Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni a “Trojan Horse” for Egypt? By Aklog Birara. Dr. [ Part 2 of 8] “ I follow the passionate discussion on the #GERD with interest. But the fundamental truth is – a country which does not contribute one drop of water to the Nile (#Egypt) – cannot demand 100% of the right to decide how the waters should be used by all. The world has changed.” Tweet from Ambassador Tibor Nagy @Tibor Nagy In Part One of this series, I provided evidence and argued passionately that Egypt mobilizes, finances or persuades and deploys a network of […] The west is rigidly stuck in its heydays of colonialism and slavery. And it has a very good reason for being so stuck, albeit sentimental. In its heydays, the west viewed itself as the only source of light – as the Sun – of the world, all non-western countries being dark planets revolving around it. Being dark planets with no lights of their own, the amount of light and heat these non-western countries get from the Sun – their enlightenment and civilization, so to speak – depends on how close they are to the west. The more distant these non-western countries are […]

The letter stressed that this is a clear violation of the 2015 Declaration of Principles agreement and a serious violation of the applicable rules of international law, which oblige Ethiopia, as an upstream country, not to harm the rights of downstream countries. The Foreign Minister pointed out that Egypt has […] The attached piece is an excerpt from a paper that I am writing on 6 major world religions. In light of what transpired in Ethiopia last month I felt it would be timely to share my two cents on the matter. Please don`t attempt to convert me as I won`t dare do that to you: By: Napoleon Amde May 9, 2022 The essence of this piece is to underscore the importance of inculcating and reinforcing mutual respect between religions. The 6 most popular religions of our time are: Christianity (1st century CE), Islam (7th century CE), Hinduism (circa 7,000 BCE), […] Yonas Biru, PhD As I have maintained in several of my articles, the Ethiopian political landscape is dominated by two groups of people: Hermitized souls whose mindset is stuck in yester-century and those who have lost their soul to either Marxism or tribalism. The former sees their articles of faith as self-evident truth and the later lacks a moral compass. Both exist in a borrowed time unable to come to terms that the philosophical anchors upon which their political views are hanging have long expired. The perennial clashes across and within these two groups have deprived Ethiopia the ability to […] Belayneh Abate The eyes and the bodies of the massacred Amaras in the recent genocide have not yet decomposed. The survivors are in an excruciating physical and mental anguish. The future is uncertain for the rest of the Amaras who are considered as alien in their own country. And yet, a lot of demagogues are working hard to divert the attention from the ongoing Amara genocide to the usual trivial tricks such as the damn dam issue, church feud and prayer of hypocrisy. The fact of the matter is that there are no dams or churches without people. Unfortunately, […] By: Merhatsidk Mekonnen Abayneh Dwelling under a Constitutional Roof Regardless of its antique existence as a sovereign political sub-division, Ethiopia can hardly claim to have that long history of constitutional governance, (only 91 years to be exact). During its entire existence which has continued for thousands of years, the country’s crude experimentation of constitutional rule is astonishingly less than one full century restricted to a handful of four successive instruments, the latest being the 1995 F.D.R.E’s Constitution effective to date. Come what may, the existing leadership in Ethiopia and its outspoken personalities, often times, proudly and persistently claim to be […] Ethiopian Athletics team is celebrating its outstanding victory at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon with residents of Addis Ababa by touring the streets of the capital. The athletics team has been given a hero’s welcome upon arrival to Addis Ababa on Wednesday after a remarkable performance at the world athletics championships. A national award and recognition ceremony is also expected to take place at the National Palace later today. In his latest message, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said that the shining victories the Ethiopian athletes have made at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Oregon, USA that Ethiopians […] |
