Thank you president for your concern about world's climate change and the issue of Nile river. No power can stop us from building grand Ethiopian dam🇪🇹❤🇪🇹❤

[@82boulou]

And no power can deny Egypt it's historical share of the river's water . This isn't your river this is a god made river and if we both live in the same building and the water pipes happen to pass by your floor before mine that doesn't make the water yours . Egypt has no business to do with Ethiopians developing their country no one has the right to oppose this legal aspiration but Egypt would fight tooth and nail for their share of water It's literaly life or death matter and I I hope you r sane enough to understand this .

[@digafechalito8693]

@@82boulou according to your premises Cairo is mine, and every resources in Egypt is mine because they all are made by God. But here is the solid truth, Abay(Nile) is made by God on Ethiopian land Almighty God made the river's source on holly land Ethiopia on tana lake and Ethiopian peoples keep their natural resources from natural and man made disasters. Nile is for Ethiopia first then as human we understand Egyptian as our African brothers so we have the gift for them from our generosity.🇪🇹❤🇪🇹

ATTENTION!!! For those of you who are saying she does not speak English, Let me update you with world news real quick. With the revolution going on in Ethiopia led by the Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, 1. It was decided for the president to be a female meeting all the requirements to reassure gender equity 2. Whenever the Prime Minister or the President makes a speech on International Assemblies, They are going to give it in our national language(Amharic) the idea being to respect our language Heritages(Not colonized so not influenced externally, Pure breed and Original ) and to promote Patriotism. So Expect that from Now on! Proudly Ethiopian!

Majority of Ethiopian don’t speak Amharic? Why should it be a national language ? Great number of people speak Oromo, Somali, Tigriyna, Afar and etc. Moreover, even the dress she had does not represent Ethiopia.

[@ambessashield9360]

Salih Ibrahim More Ethiopians speak Amharic than any other language. It’s not consider amharas language, only weak minded ppl think like that. As for her dress, it’s from Ethiopia, so yes, it represents Ethiopia. If she would wear arsi Oromo cultural clothes, that would also represent Ethiopia. If people like you put your energy into positivity instead, we would be much better off. Grow up.

[@salihibrahim562]

She doesn’t represent the aspiration of the majority in my opinion. How come most Ethiopian officials like to use English vocabulary in any given deliveries? (This include the prime minister).

[@ambessashield9360]

Salih Ibrahim Why would Ethiopian people prefer English over an Ethiopian language? You speak for a tiny minority that hates Ethiopia.

[@badmawededu6078]

The Amharic language she is speaking is using the only African born and black people Alphabet. It is one of the few oldest Alphabets in the world if not the oldest. It is very much developed and very easy and useful to use it. If you know the limited number of the Amharic Alphabet, then you don't need to learn how to write and read the unlimited words without spelling or pronunciation errors. For example in Latin "America" is written in Amharic "አሜሪካ". This is the only way you can write America using the Amharic Alphabet. But if you use Latin, You can write down it saying America, Ammrica, Amaarrikaa, Aamarayka, Ameerikaa, Ammaarraka and in many other ways. It is the same with all words that use Latin alphabet. That is why Latin alphabet demands to learn how to read or write words that have no limit. But in Amharic, if you know the limited Alphabet that make you to write down all the voices or sounds you are hearing including those you have no idea the meaning as well. "Door" written in Amharic "ዶር" "Book" written in Amharic "ቡከ" "Speech" written in Amharic "ስፒች" Door, Dor, Doorr.... in Latin. But in Amharic it remains always being written only "ዶር" Book, Buk, Buuk, Buc, Buuc, Boke, Bookke, .... but in Amharic it has only one way which is "ቡከ" Speech, Speach, Spich, sppeech, Spach,,,,, but in Amharic it remains the same which is ስፒች" . As you see here that anyone who uses the Amharic Alphabet can write down any voice or sound he doesn't know the meaning without any spelling error. Any written book, document or whatever using Latin Alphabet has to be the maximum of half of it in Amharic/Geez Alphabet. The book that has 666 pages in Latin alphabet will be the maximum of 333 pages in Amharic/Geez. That means Amharic/Geez saves you time, space, energy and money. And most importantly you don't need to learn how to write or read the unlimited words in Amharic if you know the limited alphabet which is unlike using Latin Alphabet.

[@timyjason5910]

What about ethiopia?Burundi?Rwanda? And others eh? When we will go out from them treaty, sanctions and deals? Or laws? When we wil shut down their big corporations and industries that own our land with all the income and outcome? AFRICA NEED HER OWN WAY! ENOUGH!
