Ethiopia-Kenya: Row looms over waters of Gilgel Gibe III Dam

Kenya’s Daily Nation newspaper has reported that a row is looming between Ethiopia and Kenya over the waters of Gilgel Gibe III hydroelectric dam, now under construction by Ethiopia over a section of the Omo River that supplies water to Lake Turkana in Kenya. The report said that Kenya’s proposal to set up a commission to monitor the construction of the dam has been rejected by the Ethiopian authorities. Early in June, the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) released a news brief detailing about the Ethio-Kenya Joint Consultative Meeting over the Gibe III hydroelectric dam project. In that MoFA news brief, the head of the Ethiopian Environmental Protection Authority, Dr. Tewoldebirhan Gebregziabher, had reportedly accepted the proposal for setting up a commission to monitor the dam, but it now seems Ethiopia has retracted its decision on the matter. Here are both of these reports.

The importance of inclusion among the top ten listings for a search engine is a big deal not only because
it shows you are probably a market leader, but also because it is rare for the average internet researcher to
click on links that are out of the top ten. Then using various methods of SEO the website
must be promoted with these particular keywords.
Unfortunately some SEO service provider or webmaster falls prey of these pitfalls while providing there SEO services and the penalty is paid by their
website.
