This is indicating that the #GERD will serve as #Egypt's RESERVOIR, which is absurd considering the GERD is fully financed & 100% owned by #Ethiopia. @seleshi_b_a

This would also mean that the GERD’s power generating capacity could be reduced to reflect the 31 BM3 threshold. 1/3
If the volume of water reaching the #GERD becomes lower than 31 BM3 due to drought, which:

- the GERD has nothing to do with; &
- could have occured even if the GERD wasn’t built

Therefore, why would #Ethiopia agree to release water that was previously stored in the GERD? 2/3
It’s becoming apparent that the ongoing tripartite negotiation's main aim is to protect #Egypt’s best interest, not #Ethiopia's.

Unfortunately, Ethiopia’s current leaders are intentionally/unintentionally compromising Ethiopia’s sovereignty in the process. 3/3

1/ 3 You have misinterpreted Kevin Wheeler et al's report which rather indicates that, to reach the full supply level, the #GERD filling process is expected to take between 5 to 10 years (see the screenshot 👇). Was this an honest hiccup or ---?

@seleshi_b_a @globetrotter1_
2/3 Kevin Wheeler et al's report is based on the #GERD releasing 28 BM3 per year which is no longer the case i.e. @seleshi_b_a & #Gedu indicated at the presser yesterday that #Ethiopia agreed to discharge 37 BM3 per year. I'm confused by why Ethiopia now changed its stand on this
3/3 I just did a quick estimate based on releasing 37 BM3/yr & my calculation confirms that the filling will take:

- 5.9 years to reach the Active Capacity volume of 59 BM3

- 7.4 years to reach the Total Capacity volume of 74 BM3

@seleshi_b_a, do you agree with my estimate 👆?

Will Tigray leave or remain in #Ethiopia?

#TPLF's calculated moves so far could assist with predicting the likely future of #Tigray.

The current TPLF (since #Abiy came to power) had been carefully following procedures when it comes to dealing with the federal govt. 1/12
#TPLF had been releasing a number of statements/announcements, both written & verbal, which may seem pointless to the juvenile, naive and/or intentionally deaf ears but they're calculated & sensible than anyone could imagine. Every statements had some reasoning behind it. 2/12
#TPLF peacefully handed over power to #Abiy in the hope that he will execute #EPRDF’s future plans in line with the party member’s agreement. Unfortunately, Abiy had other sinister plans. Abiy & Co. fooled TPLF & managed to successfully undertake the #SoftCoup. 3/12

1/8 Thread on #Article39 & its consequence

Now that the #ProsperityParty is formed, which seems to be the final phase of formalisation of the “#SoftCoup, it's worthwhile to discuss about what will happen to #Article_39 which is one of the key sections of the current constitution
2/8 Some may feel that the #Article39 matter is a sensitive/difficult issue which shouldn’t be discussed now. However, the ongoing unpredictable & confusing moves by the current govt makes this matter highly critical which needs to be discussed/considered now than ever before.
3/8 So, here is my two cents on the likely scenarios & consequences should the government attempts to abolish/amend #Article39:

1. The mess in #Libya is at least as complex as the mess in #Afghanistan: In Afghanistan the #Kabul-government, supported by #NATO, controls little more than Kabul.

In #Libya "Prime Minister" Fayez #Sarraj only controls a small part in the North, around #Tripoli.

#AnneWill
2. While Khalifa #Haftar, the commander of the Libyan National Army (#LNA), controls the larger part of #Libya. He does not control greater #Tripoli and in the South local warlords rule.

#AnneWill #LibyaConference
3. To make things more messy:
The "Prime Minister of Tripolis", Fayez #Sarraj, is supported by
#Turkey (troops in Libya)
#Germany
#EU
#Italy
#Qatar
#UN

#Haftar is supported by
#SaudiArabia
#UAE
#Egypt
#Russia (RUS mercenaries in Libya)
#France (#NATO-partner & #EU)

I'm going on a bit of a rant to express my disdain with how some Ethiopians have reacted to the publishing of this article in the @TheEconomist, discussing the rise of the Pentecostalism creed of Christianity in #Ethiopia...(continued)...
economist.com/middle-east-an…
I have read the article several times now. My view is that such a topic cannot be properly addressed in such a short article, but it is an ok start. I don't find anything I'd particularly disagree with although I'd say there are a few subjective statements.
However, a section of Ethiopians have been up in arms, vilifying the Ethiopia based reporter who penned the piece, @TomGardner18, and accusing him of stoking division and religious tension. He has been slandered even here on Twitter where sane minds had tended to prevail.

#Ethiopia:The fed defense forcea moving into #Jigjiga city, the capital of the Ethiopian #Somali regional state, after attempts to summon the region's Pres., Abdi Illey, to #AddisAbeba failed & reports that he ordered thousands of Liyu Police to move to the city. 📷 @oladmohamed
Update:This came after Abdi sent members of Liyu police to disrupt ongoing meeting by hundreds of Ethio #Somalis in #DireDawa city. As partial result of the threat the city declared a military command post on Thursday. The gathering in Dire Dawa is called to denounce Abdi Illey.
Update: As per a gov source, since Thursday, thousands of members of the Liyu Police were told by Abdi to move into #Jigjiga. He was then asked to come with key members of his cabinet to AA to discuss the ongoing situation. "He declined & the security situation calls for caution"
