The West Will Destroy Africa's Newest Victory Unless It Does This

In this video, TJ reacts to Ethiopia’s unveiling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), one of Africa’s most ambitious infrastructure projects and a symbol of true sovereignty. Generating over 5,000 megawatts of electricity, this dam doubles Ethiopia’s power capacity, promising clean energy for homes, hospitals, factories, and schools. TJ explains how this achievement highlights what Africans can build when we rely on ourselves instead of foreign banks and institutions that keep us trapped in cycles of dependency.

TJ breaks down the critical difference between Ethiopia’s self-funded GERD and Congo’s Grand Inga Dam, which relies heavily on the World Bank and other external financiers. While Ethiopia owns its project outright, Congo risks losing sovereignty as profits and control may flow abroad. This contrast reveals two futures for Africa: one built on independence and sacrifice, the other on dependency disguised as “development assistance.”

But Ethiopia’s triumph also brings challenges. Egypt fears losing control over Nile waters, while Sudan weighs both risks and benefits. TJ analyzes how mistrust could spark regional tensions in the Horn of Africa, a region of immense geopolitical importance near the Red Sea and Suez Canal. He warns that internal divisions create opportunities for neocolonial interference, as outside powers exploit African rivalries to secure influence over critical trade and energy routes.

Ultimately, TJ stresses that the GERD must become a model of Pan-African unity, not conflict. Africa must celebrate Ethiopia’s achievement, share resources fairly, and reject the colonial borders that fuel division. By funding and controlling our own projects, we secure true sovereignty and dignity. This analysis shows why Ethiopia’s dam is not just about electricity—it is about the future of African geopolitics and the choice between self-reliance or dependency.
