Dear patriotic citizens and friends of Ethiopia,

Egypt and the Trump Administration are ganging up to bully Ethiopia to give up its natural right to a fair and equitable share of the shared Nile (Abay) river. The Trump Administration is trying to twist Ethiopia's arms by withholding US congress approved aid money and World Bank/IMF's approved development loans and grants. This unfair and illegitimate act amounts to imposing economic sanction on 100 million people of one of the world's poorest nation.

We urge you to submit a letter to your representative in the U.S. congress by clicking on the link below. Contact your elected officials to implore the Trump administration to amend its position on GERD This is very simple task that will make a huge different, and it takes less than a minute. The letter you submit goes directly to your representative in the U.S. Congress. It's different from signing a petition.
