Addis Ababa, June 07, 2021 (Walta) – The second filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) would be conducted as per scheduled, GERD Public Participation Coordination Office, Director Argawi Berhe said.

In an exclusive interview with Walta TV, Dr. Aregawi Berhe has appreciated the consistent support of Ethiopians and the Ethiopian Diaspora to fully complete the dam.

He also noted that the overall construction of the dam has now reached 80 percent.

“Despite the external pressures, the construction of the dam is going smoothly according to the given timetable”, he stated.

Regarding the US visa restrictions on Ethiopian government officials and security forces,  the US administration is twisting arms and putting unjust pressure on the government of Ethiopia to set for negotiations with the TPLF terrorist group, Dr. Aregawi said.

“They intend to return the terrorist group to Ethiopian politics; despite the two countries have 120 years aged diplomatic relations, which is unacceptable,” he added.

He further called upon all Ethiopians to bridge up the internal differences standstill in harmony for a unity prosperous future.
