By Aregu Balleh- About a year ago President Trump contested the decision of the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed as the winner of the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize claiming, that he, not Prime Minister Abiy, deserved the prize. Months later, he withheld aid to Ethiopia after his failed attempt to pressure the country into accepting a tripartite agreement over the Grand Renaissance Dam which clearly meant to favor Egypt. He even went as far as suggesting that Egypt can blow up the dam Ethiopia built with taxpayer money. President Trump is no stranger to controversial remarks and decisions. However, for the leader of the free world, to advocate for two sovereign countries to go to war is simply outrageous.
