Apparently, the #GERD negotiations have been more complicated and messed up than anyone has imagined.

@AbiyAhmedAli appears to be negotiating about the future developments on the Blue Nile River as well, which is the first time I heard about. I am utterly gobsmacked. 1/2
@AbiyAhmedAli is singlehandedly destroying the country and also making historical mistakes. Unfortunately, the hypocrite Ethiopians and his supporters are happy with his actions as long as he helps them, or even make them believe they can, execute their ill-conceived agendas. 2/2

Here is a reminder for those who are praising @AbiyAhmedAli et al for filling the #GERD:

Abiy has been getting away with a number of wrongdoings since he took office but I’m going to focus here on his mistakes relating to the GERD. 1/9

#ItsMyDam #FillTheDam #EthiopiaNileRights
Abiy was, and still is, manipulating the people by creating problems & later on blatantly portraying himself as the solution provider for the problems such as the ongoing issues with the #GERD. This is not only an insult to the people’s intelligence but utterly unacceptable. 2/9
There was no need for Abiy to put “the filling start date for the #GERD” for negotiation. Also, he shouldn't have allowed the likes of the US & the World Bank to meddle in the GERD saga (see below) and subsequently complicate matters for the GERD. 3/9

My take on @AbiyAhmedAli‘s recent perplexing & dictatorial actions within one week:

Following the closed door meeting by the govt (see 👇), #Abiy had a meeting with opposition parties on 1st May to discuss current affairs such as the election saga. 1/6

Four options were presented by the govt at the meeting, although it appeared from @AbiyAhmedAli’s responses to comments raised by the opposition parties indicated that the decision was predetermined, therefore the meeting seemed to have been held for a PR stunt. 2/6
The govt invited opposition parties to the meeting with less than 24-hours notice & didn't provide them with an agenda – they're merely told "to discuss current affairs". They heard about the four options at the meeting & were no indication to have further meeting with them. 3/6

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
