Ethiopia and Egypt in the Eyes of EU Official

Imagen activa17 de junio de 2013, 17:30Cairo, Jun 17 (Prensa Latina) The conflict between Egypt and Ethiopia for the construction of a dam in the Blue Nile heads the agenda of the visit of the Commissioner of Foreign Policy of the European Union, Catherine Ashton, who will visit Egypt starting Tuesday.

The arrival was announced by European Union Ambassador James Moran, who said AShton will meet President Mohamed Morsi and Foreign Minister Mohamed kamel Amr, to clam the tensions and reopen the communication channels between Egypt and Ethiopia.

Kamel Amr was in Addis Abeba last Sunday to express the position of Egypt on the differend, but a joint press round made by him and his Ethiopian counterpart, Berhane Gebrekristos, was postponed without any explanation, a possible trace saying that the mutual meeting was not too much effective.

The war of statements between Cairo and Addis Abeba has increased with the days.

Cairo considers the project on the Blue Nile will affect its supply of 55 billion cubic meters of water a year from the Nile, which is vital for the human and economic consumption in Egypt.

Ethiopia assures it will fill the dam slowly, trying not to affect the other countries, but did not regard the suspension of the project and left it clear the Egyptian water quote was assigned by agreements signed during the colonial times, so Ethiopia considers there agreements invalid.

The dam is part of a hydroelectric bog project with which Ethiopia wants to produce enough electric power for consumption and export.

Last week, the government of Egypt refused to join the Agreement of Entebbe, signed by Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania and Ethiopia. This agreement redefines the assigment of the waters of the Nile River.

According to the European Ambassador, Ashton also plans to meet members of the Egyptian opposition, to “discuss the democratic transition” and talk about the Syrian crisis.

Cuba : l'île communiste accepte la propriété privée et l'économie de marché

Elle a été approuvée par plus de 86% des voix. Les Cubains ont adopté une nouvelle Constitution par référendum pour y inscrire l’ouverture du pays à l’économie de marché. Cuba est un des derniers pays communistes du monde, mais il reconnaît désormais le marché, la propriété privée et la nécessité des investissements étrangers dans sa Constitution, qui rappelle aussi le caractère irrévocable du socialisme.

L’Église défavorable

Un vote en apparence démocratique dans un pays qui ne l’est pas totalement. La nouvelle Constitution réaffirme le rôle unique du Parti communiste. Son premier secrétaire Raul Castro s’est rendu aux urnes, comme l’actuel chef de l’État Miguel Diaz Canel qui voit dans son vote une réaffirmation de la puissance cubaine face aux Américains et aux Européens. Le nouveau texte de la Constitution était contesté par certains Cubains sur les réseaux sociaux et par l’Église catholique.
