For additional background of what the dam means to Ethiopians, here's a story of how farmers in rural Ethiopian villages with no power or roads, feel about the dam and their futures. At the time, Egyptian billionaire telecommunications mogul Naguib Sawiris had made headlines for tweeting "that if Ethiopia doesn’t come to reason , we the Egyptian people will be the first to call for war."

Appreciate your interest and civility!

ATAQUE CON DRONES EN JARTÚM: 43 MUERTOS Y 55 HERIDOS

Una ofensiva con drones dejó al menos 43 muertos y cerca de 55 heridos en Jartúm, la capital de Sudán. El atentado se produce en el marco del conflicto desatado entre las fuerzas armadas y las «Fuerzas de Apoyo Rápido», la principal organización paramilitar del país africano. Hasta el momento se desconoce la autoría de la agresión.

Iniciado a mediados de abril, el conflicto ha dejado más de 4.000 muertos, según estima la ONU.

De Sudanese hoofdstad Khartoem is weer getroffen door een luchtaanval. Op een markt in het zuiden van de hoofdstad zijn volgens een lokale eerstehulppost minstens veertig mensen omgekomen; het zou gaan om het hoogste dodental bij één aanval sinds de oorlog in april begon.
De oorlog gaat gepaard met een grote humanitaire crisis.

"About 25,000 African #asylum seekers live in #Israel, mainly from #Sudan and #Eritrea, who say they fled conflict or repression.

The country has tried a variety of tactics to force them out, including sending some to a remote prison, holding part of their wages until after they agree to leave Israel, or offering cash payments to those who agree to move to another country, somewhere in #Africa".
