The \u00a0genocidal Dictator Melese Zenawie started his construction of the long waited \u00a0Megalomaniac dams at the expense of \u00a0Ethiopian inhabitants and its environment with \u00a0the rest of the riparian states. Especially Egypt, \u00a0a country in \u00a0full uprising \u00a0since the 25th<\/sup> of January 2011 against the three decade Ethiopian type \u00a0dictator and almost \u00a0 60 years military rule. The Ethiopian dictator benefiting Egyptians internal crisis is rushing \u00a0to build his destructive dams. These dams are mainly for the land grabbers and enrichment of the dictator and his equip. The local and regional population needs a human level construction to secure the continual flow of \u00a0waters, \u00a0the save guard of their human and natural \u00a0environment.<\/p>\n

The New Massive Dam is being constructed by the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation in Benishangul state, very close to the Sudanese border. Sudan and Egypt the\u00a0traditional\u00a0stake\u00a0\u00a0holders are \u00a0immediately concerned as water of \u00a0the Nile waters\u00a0dwindling\u00a0 by\u00a0megalomaniac\u00a0dams. \u00a0These \u00a0countries are today caught in the internal convolutions. Sudan is taken by internal division and secession while Egypt is consumed by revolution.<\/p>\n

The megalomaniac destructive dam on the Blue Nile construction has been awarded to the same Italian construction company that built the Gilgel Gibe II and Tana Beles dams Salini Costruttori SPA. \u00a0The Ethiopian dictator has been criticized \u00a0\u00a0awarding the projects without a competitive national tender, in violation of its own procurement guidelines.\u00a0 The company has already begun deploying heavy construction machinery to the site to start the project. The so called \u00a0\u201cproject x\u201d \u00a0power plant will have an electric generation capacity of 6,000MW, which has any utility for the \u00a0imitate use local population except the multinational foreign land grabbers, and to increase the dictators financial \u00a0resources to maintain power in Ethiopia at the expense\u00a0 environmental destruction and provocation of \u00a0water shortage in riparian countries.\u00a0 The Dictatorial regime have forcedly displaced the local population of the region in order not have resistance and immediate revolt th hand to build these deadly dams.<\/p>\n

.<\/object><\/p>\n

The dam is expected to take at least five years to be completed, \u00a0in the these period of time \u00a0the Ethiopian \u00a0dictator \u00a0\u00a0will surely \u00a0not be there to celibate the end of the project.<\/p>\n

The genocidal dictator\u00a0 has already three other power plants, which have been under construction in the past few years waiting to be finished\u00a0 before the fall of the regime following the northern Africa uprising \u00a0which will soon swipe Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian dictator dreams to become an African powerhouse due to its high hydropower potential. However, \u00a0\u00a0the highland is situated on volatile volcanic moving tectonic plates. Building a dam in the highland plateau will endanger the lives of millions in down river countries with a disastrous effect to its local inhabitants.<\/p>\n

The dictator \u00a02009 declare that the less than 10 percent of Ethiopians had access to electricity and the country is \u00a0plagued by power outages.\u00a0The genocidal dictator used the pretext of the countries power shortage kindled by his own blackouts to get support for his megalomaniac schemes. Ethiopia is a \u00a0country which is not \u00a0embarked \u00a0industrialization does not need such amount of electric power.\u00a0 Over 85 % the population is traditional farmers struggling\u00a0\u00a0 to survive. They can develop alternative and environment friendly project with less than the quarter of the money spend in these projects. The\u00a0irredentist\u00a0dictator is using the pretext \u00a0of \u00a0water \u00a0power \u00a0and famine \u00a0for its own end to control the\u00a0impoverished\u00a0Ethiopians.<\/p>\n

The successful completion of this dams \u00a0is hoped to support the project of land grabbers in \u00a0areas where the population is \u00a0displaced areas to produce \u00a0 to 8,000 MW from the current rate of 2000 MW.\u00a0Ethiopian dictator is planning to control the\u00a0livelihood\u00a0of \u00a0countries of the region by his massive killer \u00a0dams.<\/p>\n

According to the dictator \u00a0the benefits of the dams are not limited to hydro power, many dams are multi-purpose dams that are also designed to provide water for irrigation and flood control.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dictator is building all Ethiopia\u2019s power plants in the two main rivers of the Horn of Africa the Nile and the Omo River basin the home of many traditional societies, where their entire livelihood depends on them. Furthermore, both rivers are shared with Ethiopia\u2019s neighbors and for none of them an international water sharing agreement exists were not signed in pre or post colonial, except the Nile. \u00a0However, Ethiopian dictatorial regime \u00a0is not a constructive participant in the Nile Basin Initiative. \u00a0It wen even far by \u00a0declaring \u00a0recently war against Egypt \u00a0just before 25 January revolt in Cairo.<\/p>\n

The dictator is warned by the environmentalist that \u00a0hydropower impoundment\u00a0 reduces water \u00a0flow for a prolonged period if not permanently, since Ethiopia is located in highland volcanic crater with\u00a0 hundreds\u00a0 of underground \u00a0volcanic tunnels \u00a0where \u00a0water infiltration is evident.\u00a0 \u00a0In Ethiopia \u00a0\u00a0evaporation from the reservoir surfaces constitutes a permanent loss of water from the river though it is less than downstream in Egypt and Sudan. \u00a0The worst is the irrigation which consumes water in quantities for newly grabbed commercial farms. Thus making it unavailable for \u00a0downstream population in Egypt, Kenya and Sudan.<\/p>\n

The Ethiopia \u00a0has no agreement with Egypt or Sudan about the sharing of the Nile\u2019s water, but has an international\u00a0 and local responsibilities not to abuse water resources for multinational companies that their only objective is to increase their\u00a0 benefit from their investment in the Land Grapping . Egypt says that its historic water rights would be violated by dams in Ethiopia and that its water security would be affected one way another by such dams in pre revolutionary period.\u00a0The dictator\u2019s response is ready to go to war than negotiate. Egypt and Sudan concluded a water sharing treaty in 1959. The agreement does not consider the water rights of other Nile riparian states and has never been recognized by Ethiopia.\u00a0 The dams will reduce the flow of water to Sudan and Egypt permanently. And will stop the traditional flooding for Egyptian traditional farmers in the Nile. And will destroy the Omotic population in Southern Ethiopia. In Kenya the Lake Turkana will cease to exist by creating unnecessary drought which we have started \u00a0to show its effect recently \u00a0in northern Kenya.<\/p>\n

In one of\u00a0 recent \u00a0studies, assuming an evaporation rate of one meter per year, an irrigated area of 200,000 hectares and a combined reservoir area of 1,000 square kilometers, the flow of the Nile could be reduced by three billion cubic meters per year, equivalent to about 5 percent of the current allocation of Egypt under the 1959 agreement. But Ethiopia has sold and selling \u00a0millions of hectares to the land grabber which will reduce the water which crosses the high land plateau to zero.<\/p>\n

The Omo River flowing to \u00a0Kenya has been expressed concerns about downstream impacts on Lake Turkana eventually even drying due to direct impact of the upstream \u00a0dams.\u00a0 The most prominent environmental organizations like Friends of Lake Turkana and International Rivers challenged the project in terms of its ecological destruction. The Doctor Richard Leaky \u00a0 \u00a0the known paleoanthropologist<\/a> have taken a strong stand against the damming the river OMO by demonstrating its negative effects in the totality of the regional ecosystem.<\/p>\n
