and another tweet from Moonira condemns his allegation by asking him how he can represent all Muslims.We were Christians before Europeans. We were Muslims before the Arab world. Stop your colonial politics of divide and rule. This has nothing to do with religion. #itsmydam #EthiopiaNileRights

A person named Justice, asks which real Muslim supports the non-justiciability of the matter.I wonder from where you get the audacity to think you can speak on behalf of all Muslims. I don't remember appointing you as my representative, 😏 I am a Muslim and stand with #Ethiopia.

Melese Girmay, another twitter user and an angered response giver, says that "Islam is all about justice. But this is all about injustice" in his comment against the tweet posted.Egypt vs Ethiopia

Egypt's demands are unjust & inhumane. Selfless Ethiopians will defend its rights is another remark made by Alemu, another angry response to the previous post.Islam is all about justice. But this is all about injustice. 😡 They want to control our own river in our own sovereign land. They were never grateful for the fertile soil they have robbed at the expense of our people. It's an eternal honor to die fighting this injustice.

😀😀😀 you have the audacity to make unsubstantiated claims aka lies. Keep doing that. Ethiopia doesn't need anyone's help to make use of its natural resources & lift its citizens from poverty. Egypt's demands are unjust & inhumane. Selfless Ethiopians will defend its rights
