The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) stands as a collective achievement of the Ethiopian people. Beyond its economic promise, it serves as a powerful reminder that national consensus can be a unifying symbol and a tool for cohesion. For this legacy to endure, however, it must be framed within a narrative that transcends individual ambition, narrow nationalism, and class divisions.
To fully realize its economic and symbolic value, Ethiopia must also put an end to war and restore peace. As long as multiple civil conflicts persist, national strategic projects such as the GERD will remain vulnerable and fall short of their potential. Wars not only deplete human and financial resources needed to further investment on the project, say for expansion of transmission lines, but also inflict severe environmental damage, undermining the very foundations of sustainable green energy development.
Congratulations to the people of Ethiopia!
