The formal launch of Ethiopia’s Grand Renaissance Dam on September 2025 builds news worldwide. There was a Pomp and a festival as the largest hydroelectric dam was formally established after 14 years and work for US $ 5 billion project.
The project completion is filling a long national dream in making. It was formally established by Bete Meels Zenawi, which worked as the President Ethiopia since 1991 to 1995 and as premier of Nile for 1995 until Nile in Ethiopia back. According to 1950s, emperor Silassie Lassie saw the power of the Ethiopian development needs dam.
This idea has resumed the idea of Ethiopia since there. That is why Ethiopians celebrate the launch as a great national success. Prime Minister Ahmed praised the dam as a series of regional, which stood to find from the evacuation left. Dam openings were also celebrated with Street Explovent across the country.
The finalization of the dam is a great success. As a hydropow source, it is expected to bring practical benefits as electricity offer a large number of Ethiopians. In addition, the dam is also used for the fullness of the National Pride and unity.
As an African political scholar at Ethiopia and the African horn, my work focused on the problems of building national unity and in Ethiopia.
It is not surprising that the government holds this moment. The country’s pride and unity is low in Ethiopia in recent years.
The search for the nation is always the Ethiopian government buildings that returned back to the Imperial accident until the present. The previous efforts were very marked, however, with variable energy.
The Grand Hoopian Renaissance Dam is in danger of crossing the same pattern. Its opening comes after a large conflict in Tigray, and between the distinctive political parties and ongoing civil war in Ethiopia. When war and Tigry ended, some of the country broke out, especially in the Amhara and Oromo districts.
The unity of a liberal
Ethiopia is a variety of land over 120 million. It includes many groups of ethnic, languages and religious.
More than 80 languages are spoken, with Amharic as a Franca. The largest groups are in line with the most spoken languages: Oromidfa, Amharic, Tigrinya and Somali.
From the end of the 19th century, various leaders have tried to build the nation along the situation. The situation begins with the restrictions of boundaries and unexpected. The nation design is different. It is the process of establishing a common identity experience and purpose between Kingdom construction. The process of making the country has contradicted violence and was filled with the history of Ethiopian politics.
The effects of the entry can appear in the most unpopular locations. For example, the great opening of the dam was decided to cross the month of Meskeerem (September). It came a few days before the New Year-New Year – Edutatash – celebrated on 11 September. This holiday is a big party in the Ethiopian calendar and is often monitored by national festivals.
However, this holiday is focused on Ethiopian Orthodox Orthodox culture. The main symbol of at least one group – Ethiopian Orthodox Christians, more than 43% of the population. But some would not feel this way.
This does not align those in power, throughout history, using such figurative incidents and times to promote national sense.
Phermological Consense
The State of Viale Selassie made integrated efforts to cover the Italian country of the 1935. During this time, the world’s kingship has been removed, while the country’s categories are still shaking. The country was divided among those who resist work and those who worked with Italians.
Building the Truth and unity, the governor turned to the heroes of resisting the world’s ability against Italy staying source. He also participated in the modern Kingdom policy. One of the key advances from this time was the establishment of Ethiopian aircraft in 1945.
The plane is very successful – and beneficial. Have contributed to strengthening the Tiopia type. But there was no matter any of the world’s all-landing rate and prevent political violence in Ethiopia.
The after-1991 government used the symptoms and events of national unity. Among the increasing concern that rulership was taking the country, leading the year 2007 (2000 according to the Ethiopian calendar), the government organized a thousand years. This captured the thought of the nation and gave time for temporary rest on political conflicts. Indeed, the first Grand Ethiopiance Renaissance name was a Millenium Dam.
That was what we knew these figurative efforts were issued to fulfill the bragging of a brief country. They also received attention from the challenges of buildings facing the country.
What is required to achieve long-term unity of the country
Ethiopia must agree with the deepest problems of inequality, historical and present historical complaints and bad. This is important drivers of repetitive cycle of political violence. The country needs to have reliable discussions, in non-party platforms.
National conversation is currently ongoing is the first place. The process was introduced in 2022 to discuss the national medical questions and were partly thrown into a disaster tigram war. The conversation wants to create tricky conditions for national agreements for the purpose of the country of separation.
National discussions are helpful tools used in different national conditions for the purpose of the transfusion and deal with internal conflicts. These have the power to express good results when they include and have clear startup programs.
There is fear, however, that the dialogue may be placed down by the Ethiopian government, especially with the elections in 2026. Government can use a national speech to make them a good glimpse into its political opponents.
If the national discussion fails to achieve its intended objectives, the Ethiopia communities will arrange non-patisan communities where they can have these national emergency conversations where they can have these national negotiations where they can attend these emergency discussions. Here, they will have to achieve compliance with the important areas of world concern and find solutions. In so doing, Ethiopians would take important steps toward the building.
