The most geologically stable area is in the western hinterland and, since nuclear power needs water, it's probably going to be along the Dabus River or near the Abay River, not far from GERD. Preferably covering both power plants with one AD battery

Where do you think the Nuclear power plant will be built? They are saying they have narrowed it down to few locations but have not decided yet since they need international institutions to weigh in on it first.

Our comprehensive efforts to sustainably ensure our country's peace and security have reached a new milestone today. The state of readiness being built within Ethiopia's defense forces is endowing the nation with the capability to preemptively deter aggression. In accordance with our prior agreement with the Russian government, we have today taken delivery of the first twelve Su-35 4++ Generation fighter jets. Additionally, Ethiopia will receive four S-400 air defense system batteries. I would like to express my gratitude to my friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin, for his dedication in ensuring we received these warplanes a year ahead of our agreed schedule. By equipping itself with these fighter jets, Ethiopia has taken the lead among Sub-Saharan African nations. This historic achievement further strengthens our nation's sovereignty, and it will serve as a massive capability boost that allows us to confidently continue our journey toward ensuring our collective security and regional stability in the future.

Interesting to note the extent of Abyssinia from the Red Sea to Blue Nile. Meaning Ethiopia has a historical claim to the sea. And that Oromia was largely existed outside the territorial limits of the Abyssinian empire. Fascinating to see such contested claims on a map

As the saying goes, a drowning man will clutch at a straw When you lose the battlefield, you freeze the frame, zoom in on the pupil, enhance it, and make up some batshit nonsense

We could say a lot about the 27-minute so-called interview that the great pretender, Abiy Ahmed, gave to his own megaphone television yesterday. Study the camera shots carefully. This time, they spend very little time on his face and much more time on wide shots and the interviewer. Why? Because he is constantly reading from a screen, reciting words prepared for him by either Getachew or Tsadkan. Yet, despite the producer’s and editor’s best efforts to conceal this, look what I found! You can actually see him reading from a screen strategically positioned behind the interviewer, creating the illusion that he is speaking freely to the interviewer or the camera. But I froze the footage, zoomed in on his pupils, and guess what? Hehehehe! He is reading and repeating words from a big-screen like a parrot! Abiy is as fake as they come: a pretender, a coward and a bigmouth. Behind the carefully staged performance and bluster, we all know he is terrified. #Eritrea #Ethiopia @TomGardner18 @TheEconomist @NewYorker @DailyNewsEgypt

Central and North Africa and Arabia By Adolf Stieler, Heinrich Karl Wilhelm Berghaus Published by Justus Perthes Gotha, 1836 Inset: Ethiopia
Central and North Africa and Arabia By Adolf Stieler, Heinrich Karl Wilhelm Berghaus Published by Justus Perthes Gotha, 1836 The map is a finely detailed, hand-colored engraving, composed of two main sheets joined to depict a broad swath of Central and North Africa alongside the Arabian Peninsula. The mapping is rigorous, with carefully delineated borders, rivers, mountain ranges, and major settlements. Major regions such as the Sahara Desert, Nile River Valley, Ethiopian Highlands, and the Arabian Peninsula are prominently featured. In the lower right, there is an inset labeled "Habesch," which focuses on Ethiopia and Eritrea. This inset map details the complex topography and political divisions within the region, highlighting its significance and the European interest in the area during the 19th century.
