1. 0:01Your Excellency Prime Minister Abi
2. 0:03Ahmed,
3. 0:05Excellency of States and Government,
4. 0:09today is a great historic day for all
5. 0:13our people in this region.
6. 0:16[Applause]
7. 0:19Excellencus,
8. 0:22it's a privilege to be among you today
9. 0:24at the moment that brings together the
10. 0:27people of this region around an issue of
11. 0:30common importance.
12. 0:32How we manage, share and benefit the
13. 0:36resources that sustain our nation's
14. 0:39prosperity.
15. 0:41For us, this gathering is not about
16. 0:44success of a single project, but about a
17. 0:48shared responsibility we all carry.
18. 0:53Water and natural resources are not
19. 0:55confined by borders. They follow across
20. 0:59them, binding our destinies and future
21. 1:03together.
22. 1:05uh when we speak of development in this
23. 1:08region, we must speak not in terms of
24. 1:11competition but in terms of cooperation.
25. 1:15As Prime Minister Abi Ahmed has
26. 1:19indicated and promised in his inaugural
27. 1:23speech today, we all have a destiny to
28. 1:27seek prosperity and peaceful coexistence
29. 1:31among all of us. Somalia's vision is
30. 1:36clear. Our collective stability and
31. 1:39prosperity depend on ensuring that every
32. 1:42nation feels its concerns are heard, its
33. 1:47interest is safeguarded. Only through
34. 1:50that assurance can we build the trust
35. 1:54necessary for deeper regional
36. 1:56partnership. And I hope that
37. 2:00this dam and the electricity and the
38. 2:02power generated will be the beginning
39. 2:05that shows this brotherly
40. 2:09and neighborly
41. 2:11and continentally partnership. We
42. 2:14understand that water resources touches
43. 2:17life differently in each country. For
44. 2:21some it's about survival
45. 2:24and water security. For others, it's
46. 2:28about energy and growth.
47. 2:31All these perspectives are valid. Our
48. 2:35challenge is not to deny the needs of
49. 2:39any one of us, but to find ways to
50. 2:42balance in spirit of fairness and mutual
51. 2:46respect. And Ethobia has the right to
52. 2:49pursue that happiness and prosperity.
53. 2:54Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, as a
54. 2:57country committed to regional peace and
55. 2:59integration, Somalia stand is ready to
56. 3:02work with all its neighbors and partners
57. 3:06to promote dialogue and to bridge
58. 3:09differences. If there is a role for us
59. 3:11to play in creating understanding and
60. 3:15building consensus, Somalia is prepared
61. 3:19to do so in good faith. As we have
62. 3:23experienced it today, when our people
63. 3:26are united,
64. 3:28not at within the borders of our
65. 3:31nations, but our region and our
66. 3:34continent, we can achieve what no one
67. 3:38was expecting in the past to achieve.
68. 3:42Our future depends on our ability to
69. 3:45move beyond zero sum thinking of the
70. 3:49past. Upstreams and downstreams
71. 3:52countries alike can only prosper
72. 3:56when we act as community. Those who does
73. 4:00not have the challenge, those who does
74. 4:02not have to opportunity to benefit from
75. 4:05the water of this great
76. 4:11dam.
77. 4:12Luckily, we have the opportunity to
78. 4:14share the power that lights the future
79. 4:18generations of our nations.
80. 4:21Once we
81. 4:23no nation feels excluded and no nation
82. 4:26beers the burden alone, it is in that
83. 4:29spirit that we commemorate today's in
84. 4:33inauguration of this great dam.
85. 4:37May today remind us all that our real
86. 4:40achievement will be in partnership we
87. 4:43sustain, the trust we nurture and the
88. 4:47unity we build for generations to come.
89. 4:51This is a realable ambition and vision
90. 4:55because the proof is we've shared our
91. 4:59own blood. There's no reason we cannot
92. 5:02share a physical and worldly resources.
93. 5:07I thank you.
