BY ANDUALEM SISAY GESSESSE – I heard the shocking news over this weekend about the flash flooding in the neighboring Sudan’s capital Khartoum. Some 80 people have died while thousands of houses hare demolished by the flooding that followed the heavy rain in the Ethiopian Highlands. I urge Sudanese and Egyptian politicians to do preparations to save lives our African poor farmers living along the longest river in the world. So, Egyptian politicians and elites who campaign to stop Ethiopia from using the Abbay River will not benefit the people of any of the three countries, in fact the opposite works. The more Ethiopia uses the water of the Abbay River, the less catastrophic the water will be to the people of Sudan and Egypt.
