In  Norway, as well as in California,  some Anarchists, Muslim Extremists, OLF  supporters, Shabiya  and others  recently blocked the sales of Abay Dam Bonds by force  as shown in the videos below.  Supporting the Abay Dam  has   nothing to do with supporting or opposing EPRDF (i.e. the current Government). The Abay Dam will   promote economic development in Ethiopia among other things.  Above  all,  during the five-year Italian Occupation in the 1930s, Mussolini built several roads and bridges in Ethiopia and those roads and bridges have been helping the Ethiopian people to this day despite the fact  millions  of   Ethiopians were tortured or   killed by  Mussolini and  Graziani.  Therefore, it does not matter at all  who builds the Abay Dam whether a brutal regime like Mussolini or Hitler, or Governments like that of  Haile Selassie, Mengistu or EPRDF,   since the Abay Dam will last for ever while all governments will go away in time. Therefore, all Ethiopians who truly love Ethiopia should support the Abay Dam without any reservation.

 Besides,  all who oppose the Abay Dam,   directly or  indirectly are  supporting  Ethiopia's historical enemies like Egypt whether they like it or not. Egypt has been threatening to demolish the Abay Dam if and when it is built,  and has successfully prevented the World Bank and other International Agencies  from   providing  Ethiopia with  Grants or Loans or any other financial assistance that  Ethiopia needs  to build the Abay Dam.  Here, our strong message to Egypt is that not only we will build the Abay Dam, but if Egypt does not stop such sabotage, we may decide to divert some of the Abay Water for internal use within Ethiopia and build thousands of smaller Dams  especially without international agreement in place, since we will not accept or even recognize previous "colonial treaties."  Above all, if Egypt decides to start a War with Ethiopia, we had already defeated Egypt three times in history and we will defeat Egypt  again especially with our  growing population,  our heroic people and our highlands that helped us defeat even  the Italian Colonial power that had  a larger army and  significantly     more   weapons.  But Ethiopia does not  want war with Egypt or any other country. Instead, Ethiopia it trying to build the Abay Dam  using Ethiopia's River, the Abay River(i.e.Blue Nile) without the intention of  hurting Egypt or any other Country. If Egypt refuses to understand that, we will teach her a lesson again.  Having put Egypt on Notice, let us turn to the Anarchists and extremists.

  In addition to the sabotage by Egypt as shown above,  Anarchists and Muslim  Extremists are blocking the funds coming from Ethiopians themselves. Shame on you Anarchists and Muslim  Extremists for siding with our historical Enemy, Egypt!  In fact,  history tells  us that Ethiopians did put aside  their differences among them and jointly  fought  against  foreign enemies  by siding  even with the government they hated  in order to save Ethiopia from invasion by  foreign countries.   In that regard, if we go back to 1977, during the  War between Ethiopia and Somalia, some leftist organizations supported   Somalia    so that   the Ethiopian Army could be defeated  and    Mengistu's Regime could fall. However, the Ethiopian People overwhelmingly stood with Mengistu in order to save Ethiopia from Somalian  invasion despite the fact that the  majority of Ethiopians were  opposing  Mengistu at that time. Thus, opposing the Abay Dam and  siding with Ethiopia's major  enemies  such as Egypt is not what heroic  Ethiopians are known  for. Therefore, we are alerting those who truly love Ethiopia, but misguided by anarchists and extremists, to come back and support the Abay Dam while continuing to  oppose EPRDF  on any other issue if that is what they wish to do. Thus, the lesson here is,  it is  possible for an Ethiopian  to  support  the Abay Dam, and still   oppose  the current Government at the same time  for any other reason.
