The request the United States has made for Ethiopia to sign a deal with Egypt and Sudan about the Ethiopian Great Renaissance Dam (GERD) in the shortest possible time has been met with growing public reactions and uproar.
Steven Mnuchin, the US treasury secretary, said the final testing and filling of the dam should not take place without an agreement and Ethiopians have reacted angrily on social media and staging demonstrations calling on the government to resist the growing US pressure.
