Previous article entitled, “Grand Ethiopian Renascence
dam (GRED) is a blessing in disguise to Egypt”, argued how an Ethiopia’s
project, GERD, is extremely misunderstood by the very beneficiary of it. The
project mainly aimed at harvesting cheap and clean energy has a great potential
to offset Egypt’s dire energy deficit and addictions to fossil fuel and other
non-renewable and non-eco-friendly energy sources. GERD exploits the unique
topographies of Ethiopian highlands to exploit the energy resources and advance
benefits of mutual growth and peaceful coexistence. The project envisages to bring
much needed economic development that will alleviate energy insecurity, poverty,
and economic hardship. Hence, pleaded to Egyptian authorities to stop
activities to sabotage the project and instead support what is unarguably catalyst
to regional interdependence, peace, energy independence and economic
development.
