Fasil Amdetsion is an attorney from Ethiopia who speaks in riddles. With an undergraduate degree from Yale in both history and international studies, and a law degree from Harvard, he is a thinker.
Working with prestigious New York law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, he is also a do-er.
One of the things Fasil has done recently is analyzed the legal, geopolitical, and historical dimensions of the longstanding dispute over the Nile. He has followed the course of this river from an early age, growing up in the Nile River basin. Read more at Huffingtonpost.com.
Great Work Fasil. I also read your paper published in the Texas international Law Journal and I am encouraged and hopeful that an Ethiopian is on top of this hot issue because the next generation of wars are not going to be about oil, but rather about WATER.
Great work. Please, do the same with Ethiopian historical port of ASSAB and its Afar people.
Thanks Fasil you are a good person to dedicate your time and effort on Abbay. I grew up listening to my father & associates contemplate and discuss about how Abbay can be used to better Ethiopia.It is an issue that should be addressed and resolved.
