Who would trust a government that betrayed the people and the country—making us landlocked while fighting a senseless war with our brothers and sisters in Eritrea, ceding a great deal of land to Sudan, killing Agnuanks, systematic killing and massive displacement of ethnic Amharas, jailing and harassing ethnic Ormos, Journalists, Opposition members, Activists, etc. Because if we were more stable and democratic, then we would have avoided the loopholes that foreign enemies, such as Egypt, have been able to take advantage of. Even the dam itself has become one of the most controversial issue simply because the government is unrepresentative and least accountable. Otherwise, I stand on my ground that no one will ever dare to oppose any development—especially on Blue Nile (Abay) that we Ethiopians have grown with a great sense of anger and madness for not being able to use it to feed ourselves while others in the downstream have managed to build their economy, and even gone as far as making it appear to be part of their own historical identity.
