We also support the Ethiopian government’s efforts in pursuing a cooperative framework agreement on the equitable and sustainable usage of the Nile.  We are proud of our government for being a champion in dealing fairly with all concerned parties and for going over and beyond to endorse an unbiased working plan.  We encourage the Ethiopian government to continue on its plan of action to build dams and construct irrigation systems.  It is unfathomable and impossible for any force to deter the will of the people.

We would like to again assure you that the immense effort to sabotage the democratic process will be dealt with vigor and unflinching commitment by individuals like you, NEDAP and other progressive forces in the Diaspora.   Our people and government are playing a vital role to guarantee the success of building a democratic Ethiopia. 

We would like to reiterate again that we will disseminate the information on the peaceful demonstration to all progressive forces.  We stand with you in alignment to give voice to our people and to gain international support for the great work and development that has been and still is in progress in our country.  The development process is irreversible and we believe Ethiopia will succeed in meeting its goals to bring the country to prosperity.
