In the Horn of Africa, tensions are escalating tensions over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), a massive hydroelectric project vital to Ethiopia’s development but viewed as an existential threat by downstream nations, particularly Egypt and Sudan. At the heart of the current friction is U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly claimed that the US funded the dam. The Ethiopian government has consistently denied his claims. Trump’s vocal support for Egypt’s concerns over the dam, including his past suggestion that Egypt might “blow up the dam,” raises questions about his motivations. Trump’s backing for Egypt is tied to broader geopolitical interests, specifically his desire for Egypt to support Israel’s agenda in the Gaza conflict, including plans for establishing a “humanitarian city” near the Rafah border.

The Dam is funded 100perecent by Ethiopian no lie ,no lie .
Ethiopian people build the Dam by their blood ………
ምን አባቱ አገባው ስለ አባይ ግድብ ደማችንን አጥንታችንን ብራችንን ነው የገበርንበት
So what Africa is for Africa not for European or American France
Thanks a lot Mr. Zemedeneh🙏🙏🙏 you made an amazing and very interesting analysis. You highly exploited the opportunity thank you very much again🙏🙏
OMG they mean that Ethiopian said ,Trump is laying or layer????? 😮
He Doesn't the Geographical sitting up of Africa and says insintictly fanacing of Dumis onand all Ethiopians efferts
Trump knows very well that the US did not fund the Dam. But he is up to something that I am totally at a loss to figure out, at least for now.
Trump is dumb😂😂
F . k !!! Dump trump he is our enemy!!
"misinformed by his staffs" what a wise choice of words. As citizens, we've voluntarily and proudly given our whole monthly salaries many times to the dam's realization, despite the fact that it was deducted from our modest paycheck. We, Ethiopians, are resilient people!
Dont confuse ethiopian civil aviation authority power with ethiopian airlines.
For charterflight, overflight landing and departures the permission are only granted by ethiopian CAA .
SO EAL is an operator bro by itself .
Stop spreading your hoax !
That dam built by Ethiopian peoples.Everybody's salary was cutting from each one from monthly payiment.So, it is not America's bussines. It is better to stay away from it.
remember the bribe trump recieved feom al sisi before the first election
That's the cost of Africans. Whenever they see a way forward for development and pursue it, some “incumbents” from the West will suddenly emerge and try to restart everything.
i also funded 10 birr in 6th grade but i dont boost abt it
Just imagine that statement from the so called "World Bank" why do Ethiopian need that big dam? Just imagined that.😅😢…..
No American Conurbation on DAM
Ethiopia🇪🇹🇪🇹
U didn't fund shit.. Its all us
Ethiopia should charge Egypt 1$ for 1L water. Arabs don't give their resources for free, why should black Africa?
it is Ethiopia's inalienable right to utilize its natural resources as it sees fit.Egypt has been greedy for such a long time,and sabotaged every attempt made by former Ethiopian governments to harvest its natural resources.the water is enough for all.leave Ethiopia alone.God bless Ethiopia & Eritrea.
Egypt is not going to be affected because of shortages of water flow. They are just insecure. They should play nice and fair.
🇪🇹❤️🇪🇹
Long live Ethiopia❤
TRUMP PLEASE MIND YOUR BISSENESS DEFINTLY THE DAM BELONGES TO ETHIOPIA OK
It is up to Egypt whether the water is reduced or not. They have to find their own means, not holding Ethiopia responsible for possible misfortune regarding usage of the dam by Ethiopia. who dictates a country for using its own resource in own territory. We are fed up of this egoistic nature of Egypt. A country that doesn't know co-existence and cooperation.
😂Israel in the loop, the whole thing is about making Egypt fight with Ethiopia
Is this man normal or he have attention deficiency. THIS IS OUR DAM , NO AMERICAN PUT A DIME FOR OUR GREAT RENAISSANCE DAM OF ETHIOPIA, DO YOU UNDERSTAND TRUMP?
The Ethiopian founded entirely the #GERD alone. Yes, the United States has been biggest donar through USAID for humanitarian purpose!
Thank you for your diplomatic response but the truth of the matter is he hates Ethiopia. Never ever truth comes from this man. Under his command masked ICE kidnap innocent men from streets simply accusing as a criminal. Again, under his watch Netanyahu committing crime against humanity yet encouraging the criminal.
Who cares who Trump supports, that's irrelevant. This is an African issue that the Africans can sort out themselves. Why do international countries like to stick their nose into things that don't concern them, that's the problem with this world today.
This I believe Trump. Not only USA funding also funded by Israel
I support my mother land Ethiopia from US . Love you Ethiopia Long live 💚💚💚💛💛💛❤️❤️❤️
Why not the government of Ethiopia itself officially denay Trump's statement?
🇪🇹🥀🇪🇹🤲🤲☝️
We Ethiopian 🇪🇹 constructed the dam by own money. The president's speach is completly wrong.
The Egyptians built Aswan high dam. Ethiopia is doing the same. There is no way Ethiopia can stop the Nile Where will they take the water? Power generation does not stop the water. Instead it uses the energy in the flowing water as it passes. How do you generate water if it does not flow downstream? Kenyans are now benefiting from power imports from Ethiopia. This cooperation is the way forward for Africa.
The great renaissance Dam is fully funded by Ethiopians. Africans should support Ethiopia.
Nill River is start from Ethiopia Then our Dam is not for sale This Dam is our life Tramp is the world tatrist 😢
Good program.
It's my dam not of USA buisness….
Both Trump and the Egyptian president didn't think Ethiopia could have accomplish this construction by itself, due to this they are angry by now and trying everything possible to destabilize my beloved country 'ETHIOPIA'. Please leave us alone!
