What you dream is just a propaganda you consumed from the discourse of Melse Zenawie. It is right in Ideal situation. In a region where there is not land grabbing and no more speculation of poor farmers land. The Ethiopian death dam will soon the same as that of the Egyptian Aswan with high content of Salinity. Today the Aswan dam has become like the Red Sea and Mediterranean sea full of salt with no use for agricultural purposes. When it comes for the death dam of Melese Zenawie, it is being prepared for the Saudi and Indian land grabbers who are waiting to make millions from the plantation of fuel plants and cash crops sold in the speculative wall streets of Zurich, London, New York. Now tell me where is the benefice for the simple farmers of Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan after all. I think your have been brain washed by Mlese Zenawie Saudi paid propaganda. The region like Benishengual and Gojjam around the Death dam the land have been grabbed. The speculators are just waiting to use the Nile water for their highly industrialized demanding farmlands. You are a nice human Ethiopian dreamer and your are not living on the reality world. Le t me tell you, even the electricity produced is for these highly intensive farmers of India. When it comes for drinking the Nile will not soon be potable dear due the chemical that is washed in to the surroundings rivers who are tributaries of the Nile form the industrial farms. Good luck dreamer. Let me give you what Jomokenyatta Said in His Book facing mount Kenya. He said that "the European showing us the Bible and the Heavens and while we gazing up, they took our land under our foot. There is the saying in Amharic :- "Ye abyen leg weha temaw" meaning " The son of the Nile born on its springs can even not quench his thrust..." that is you thanks for human comment I appreciate... we will make human level dam when you became the Ethiopian Premier, Dear, not Mlese Zenawie ? Dear thank you for your human and dream response I like to believe. What you dream is just a propaganda you consumed from the discourse of Melse Zenawie. It is right in Ideal situation.

:A short message to the people of Egypt and the Sudanese People:
by Seged Berhane of Ethiopia A/A,April 30,2011
Although Ethiopia is the source of the Blue Nile which contributes 86% and the remaining 14% comes from the White Nile colonial powers during the scramble for Africa made it to be a source of controversy alienating Ethiopia and the other Nile Basin countries not to be beneficiaries from the Nile waters except Egypt and the Sudan which is a conspicuous injustice that tells the baker to bake the bread for others to eat but the baker will remain smelling the odour denied the right to eat by telling him not to touch it.How long can this injustice continue?The Sudan and Egypt have got oil which they sell to the world and earn foreign exchange and they cannot provide it for free.Ethiopia as the major source of the Nile never aimed at selling the Nile water and will never plan in the future but the world has to know that it has the right to use it for generating electric power by building dams for irrigating its arable land for undertaking green revolution to alleviate poverty and to be economically strong and sustainable.Injustice has to be ruled out and replaced by justice.We live in the 21st century that calls for global cooperation wether we like it or not it’s high time for the cooperation of the upstream and downstream countries to stand hand in Hand for a better Africa..My country,Ethiopia always stands for a fair equitable and just use of the Nile waters.Remember we have drunk and quenched our thirst from the river Nile from time immemorial or eversince the biblical times as children of the Nile with our Egyptian and Sudanese brothers and sisters.Forget politicians who have traded out of the Nile for centuries. Needless to worry, we Ethiopians we will never quench our thirst alone leaving our Egyptian and Sudanese brothers; our forefathers have never done so and we won’t .The building of the millenium dam has no intention of harming our neighbours but make them beneficiaries out of the big Ethiopian bread basket to come by alleviating poverty from the country.The construction of the dam will help control flooding in the downstream countries assuring the amount of water that they need all year round pure water avoiding silt that may fill up their dams.Egypt and the Sudan will benefit from the power generated from Ethiopia at fair rates including agricultural products that these countries require as Ethiopia has a comparative advantage for producing them from its fertile irrigable land and in return The two countries can focus on industrial products and the like that Ethiopia needs including oil which Ethiopia can import industrial commodities .This will undoubtedly strengthen our bond of brotherhood with a bright future for generations to come.So why be pessimist let’s give optimistic attitude a chance .let’s forget the dark ages of the past let’s shape our future for a better tomorrow full of hope and prosperity working hand in hand.This is what we should inherit to our children not empty words.Africa has made a big step from OAU to AU and our cooperation with positive thinking will surely benefit our countries and play its part in enhancing African Economic Union.Lastly I would like to say we will continue drinking with the same cup from the same bottle your worries are our worries too; after all we are God fearing people.
