Honestly, that is the stupidest thing I have heard today.

Just because a lake is small does not mean it is not a significant source of fresh water for the people of that region.

If you are pissed off at AL Jazeera or think they are full of it, then you are more than free to get your information from the tens of not hundreds of thousands of news related websites, portals, broadcasts, and blogs on this thing call the internet.

I am Jewish also, I wanted to let you know that your words make me sad. This is because it shifts blame and avoids responsibility. It was Israel who encircled Gaza, trapped civilians and then bombed them. This is illegal under international law, the very law that Israel was a signee to after the atrocities of WW2. We of all people should be sensitive to issues like this, but it appears that Israel only cares for itself and not for its neighbor. Is G_d the G_d of all people, or only of Israel?

Hi-This is what Ethiopia lack for since establishment; there is not government accountable to the people (neither local nor central). If industrial development is planned there is no consideration of the impact on ecosystem. For instance, income from the factories should have been directed to develop proper draining system and drill drinking water for the people instead of pockets of individuals. The same is true in dam construction areas too. It is technical genocide.

The one who is destroying the environment are the Tigres not the Amharas.

@THEBADASSOROMO Dude, what the heck are you talking about?

[THEBADASSOROMO]

@yoniii ,

reading your previous comments, I say you're a neftengas blood sucking parasites. so shut it.

you neftengas parasites destroy and suck the live of every thing you touch.

I can't wait for the day where all of you either exterminated or shipped back to the hell hole you neftengas parasites came from.

[THEBADASSOROMO]

omg I can't handle watching the environment being destroyed like this , without the environment , human and poor hopeless animals are f**ked.

those nefengas habasha are destroying the environment , just like how they destroyed the north east part of east africa, and those useless f**ks the so called environmentalist are not doing anything to stop it.

U don't even know your history?

Sorry for ur shits!

[yoniii]

Seriously, what kind of drugs are you taking? You talk so much shit that you probably don't even know that you're lying.

This so called "Abeshas are arabs" lie is as truthful as "Oromos came from Magadascar" lie I am sure you've heard before.

People that spread this lies are EVIL liers that wants to spread hate among different groups of peoples in our country.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR US TO FIGHT WHEN WE CAN STAND UNITED AND BUILD OUR COUNTRY, GET THAT!!

And I ain't from Tigray.

[enlighted12]

You stupid black Nazi trying to look peaceful. It is easy for all to tell hungry face of Tigray like urs from any other peoples in the colony formed by help Of Europeans.

Unity is good but not with animals of yemeni desert from century experience of the empire.
