Analysis The Inauguration of the Gilgel Gibe Dam: Kudos for Ethiopia and an Admonition to the Wise By Dr. Yosef Yacob "The western disposition to promote small scale project driven alternatives such as rain water harnessing, earthen dams, diesel generators, geothermal energy, solar energy, wind energy, potable water projects, drilling of small wells, promoting traditional agriculture, harnessing small streams, resettling populations, digging ponds, and reliance on food aid will not bring about the progress deserved by the Ethiopian people. " Appeal Urgent appeal from MIT The Mekelle Institute of Technology is in severe financial straits and is seeking urgent support from people of good will. Analysis From UNDUGU to the Nile Basin Initiative: An Enduring Excercis in Futility Yosef Yacob, JD, LM, PhD The articles highlight the, competing aspirations of the riparians and suggest the need for cooperation, consultation, and collaboration to achieve an equitable utilization of the shared resource. Furthermore, devising a fair, just and coherent plan for the full and most efficient use of the sub-basin’s waters demands accommodations by modifications of existing uses or future plans, consideration of priorities and alternatives, or compensation for abstaining from taking action. Tourism Ethiopia, cradle of humanity 19/01/2004 13:54 - (SA) Bilen, Ethiopia - Scientists describe Ethiopia as the cradle of humanity. It is home to perhaps the most famous prehistoric remains ever found, and the world's oldest human remains. Now the country is turning to its prehistoric finds to use them as a catalyst for promoting tourism as a means of boosting its development. Appeal An Open Appeal Letter To The United Nations Security Council regarding the current Impasse between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and the Irob-Case-for-Peace From The Irob Community of Northern America January 16, 2004 Given the Security Council’s statement of January 7, 2004 regarding the so-called “peace process” between Ethiopian and Eritrea, the Irob Community is yet again forced to write this appeal letter to the United Nations Security Council on behalf of the people of Irob. Our letter is public to make sure that the position of the people of Irob is known to the entire world, as well as to the governments of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Analysis Tough Talk over a Defunct Treaty: The Case of the 1929 Nile Waters Agreement By: Yosef Yacob, JD, LLM, PhD Argwings Odera of the East African Standard in a December 12, 2003 article reported Egypt’s “strong reaction” to Kenya’s intended withdrawal from the Nile Basin Treaty, describing it as “an act of war”. The Egyptian stance was triggered by Mr Raila Odinga a member of the Kenyan Parliament and a Senior Cabinet Member who reportedly advised the Kenyan parliament that “…the Nile Basin Treaty, which bars East African countries from exploiting the waters of Lake Victoria for economic gain, should be reviewed Commentary Causes of the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict By: Atnaf Segued Ethiopia has been an independent nation since time in memorial. This independence has been maintained not by chance or miracle, but by the blood of its valiant sons and daughters. Ethiopia has fought more wars than any other nation against invaders and defended itself successfully. Appeal A RENEWED APPEAL ON BEHALF OF THE BORDER AREA PEOPLES Irob Community in North America We hope that the year 2004 will be a year in which the Ethiopians living in the localities bordering Eritrea such as the Afars, the Irobs, the Kunamas and other Ethiopians get a break from bombardments and kidnappings perpetuated by the Eritrean armed forces and from international intimidation to deprive them of their citizenship and/or their ancestral lands. We also hope that other Ethiopians in Gambela and elsewhere in the country get relief from daily sufferings in their own land. Selam All Concerned, Given the fact that Western governments are heavily involved in the border debacle, it is worth revisiting this document [recently de-classified by the U.S. government]. This is a briefing memo prepared for the U.S. President Franklin D. Rossevelt by Lauchlin Currie (a member of FDR's staff). Makes one question if Britain, officially Ethiopia's ally at that time, truly had the Ethiopian people's interest at heart. At the very least, this document sheds light on British (Western?) diplomacy styles and tactics.

Commentary It Can Be Done By Brhane Habte-Mariam Today, if there is a political issue that the majority of Ethiopians would agree upon, it could as well be to see an end to the oppressive order of the current regime and a change of government from the same politics, the same leader and the same idea that have been misguiding this country down the drain of international humility and beggary for the last twelve years and more.[Source: AddisTribune] Press Release Tecola Hagos Launches a New Website Moblizing Ethiopians Living Abroad for the development of ETHIOPIA  In 2001, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) initiated a capacity building program for Africa entitled Migration for Development in Africa (MIDA).
