1/7 “The dam stops water from flowing to Egypt. We cut of a lot money to Ethio... They'll never see that money unless they agree to the agreement. They [Egypt] will end up blowing up the dam. I said it & I say it loud & clear. They'll blow up that dam” – @realDonaldTrump

2/7 Mr. Pres @realDonaldTrump, with all due respect, your war mongering & bullying rhetoric is utterly irresponsible, uninformed, careless, and reckless. #EthiopiaNileRights

3/7 Instead of supporting an ongoing peaceful negotiation, it is very unfortunate that you, @realDonaldTrump, are inciting violence and war between two countries that are trying hard, with a mediation of fellow African leaders, to resolve the matter peacefully.

4/7 We don’t have any reason to believe that our fellow Egyptian neighbors will entertain this madness. Not too sure who is feeding you ( @realDonaldTrump) an inaccurate information, but your far-fetched claim about #GERD is not only severely elementary, but also simply a lie!

5/7 Pres. @realDonaldTrump, as a president of the United States of America, bullying one nation while endorsing the other to bomb is embarrassing, backward, and totally unacceptable.

6/7 Ethiopians, Ethiopian-Americans, fellow Africans, African-Americans, the global black community at large, and anyone with good wishes for the Ethiopian people will take this very seriously...

7/7 ...as you are deliberately trying to stifle one black nation’s (Ethiopia) sovereign right to use its water by a threat tactic while trying to empower another nation (Egypt) to bully & attack. @realDonaldTrump , please stop this! #StopTheBullying #Ethiopia #EthiopiaNileRights
