  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “I saw that Huawei just put out a new laptop that it boasted was AI capable, that uses an Intel chip. I think it demonstrates that what we're focused on is only the most sensitive technology that could pose a threat to our security. We're not focused on cutting off trade, or for that matter containing or holding back China.” 2 hours ago

“GERD's [Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam] commissioning is a rare positive development that can unite a deeply fractured country after 15 months of brutal conflict with Tigrayan rebels. The newly generated electricity from the GERD could help revive an economy that has been devastated by the combined forces of a deadly war, rising fuel prices and the COVID-19 pandemic.”

“GERD [Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam] is seen domestically as a symbol of Ethiopia resisting external pressure. The government has propagated the idea that foreign actors are trying to undermine Ethiopia's sovereignty, so I think this will be cast as showing they are still making progress despite a hostile environment.”

“Ethiopia's main interest is to bring light to 60 percent of the population who is suffering in darkness, to save the labour of our mothers who are carrying wood on their backs in order to get energy. As you can see, this water will generate energy while flowing as it previously flowed to Sudan and Egypt, unlike the rumours that say the Ethiopian people and government are damming the water to starve Egypt and Sudan.”

“There are also concerns about the farmers because Sudanese officials say 20 million people, most of them more farmers along the Nile will be affected by the filling of the dam.”

“This is indeed a milestone and Ethiopians are excited about this. This is a project of national pride. But of course the downstream countries, Sudan and Egypt, are very concerned about what this could do to other water flows to their own countries along the Nile.”

“As construction progresses, filling takes place. We don't deviate from that at all. There is no need to enter an unnecessary war. A war can't start because of water. Water flows if you fight today, it'll continue to flow tomorrow.”

“For Sudan, all options are possible, including returning [the matter] to the UN Security Council and hardening policy … [if] Ethiopia embarks on a second filling [of the dam] without agreement.”

“The completion of the first round of filling is a historic moment that showcases Ethiopians' commitment to the renaissance of our country. The fact that we reached this milestone by our own efforts when no one else believed in our capabilities to accomplish such initiatives makes the moment even more historic. We conducted the filling of the dam without causing harm to anyone.”
