Addis Ababa Hails Moscow's Support at UNSC During GERD Negotiations, Ex-Ethiopian Ambassador to Russia Says
"I always thank Russia for this support. Russia is an all-time friend to Ethiopia," Alemayehu Tegenu, former ambassador to Russia and ex-minister of water, irrigation and energy of Ethiopia, told Sputnik Africa.
The project has a special meaning, as it contributes to economic integration and will connect the region and the entire African continent.
During UNSC talks on the GERD, Russia called on Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan to reach a comprehensive agreement peacefully — reaffirming its support for “African solutions for African problems.” It acknowledged the dam’s vital role in tackling Ethiopia’s power shortages and boosting regional economic cooperation.
