MR writer you claimed you have been studied the issue for the last 35 years ...well if it is true. but remember as an african think postive to the region...no one wana be poor forever ..ethiopia have the full right to use its natural resources with out any preconditions...no matter happen we will build it and see the out come..if any one cross the line we are independent peoples who knows how to defend our mother land like we did before....for the 3000 years.
this explanation of negative effects are direct reflection of the white Europeans who want to visit the traditional ingenious people who does not wear clothes and drink water from dirty wells. we Africans should not be tricked twice by this white peoples they already made us suffer in the era of their colony by armed power. now they are also coming in the form of intellectual and structural power they built to dismantle Africa. Apart from this all of you just do not forget that it is Ethiopia, if you do not remember anything go and ask Italians they will tell you all about this country.
I love the way this article is written (from a jornalist stand point). It shows how to sling mud vehemently if you want to trash any thing you dislike. African journalist should learn from it how to write for purpose. That starts from the article by saying controversial. This dam has nothing controversial except angrying few old white guys living around Lake Turkana who lost their compitive adge for their planned wind farming and their California based friends. It goes on by saying that the environmental impact study is not upto standard. The reason is that the study was done by only Africans without involving any one non-African. Hence, it is not trustworthy!!! The world bank could not fund the project because few white men in Kenya and California has harassed the bank. They are more vocal than the more than 500,000 indiginious people who pledged for the construction of the dam and for the wise use of their resources. Africa wake up!!
