Министры-члены Республиканской партии Грузии покидают свои посты в преддверии выборов

Как было объявлено во вторник, два министра-члены Республиканской партии Грузии, уйдут в отставку из коалиционного правительства Грузии в преддверии парламентских выборов, которые должны состоятся 8 октября.

Министр обороны Тина Хидашели и министр по вопросам примирения и гражданского равенства Паата Закареишвили покидают сво посты в связи с началом избирательной кампании. Еще в марте этого года было объявлено о том, что партии, входящие в состав коалиции "Грузинская мечта", которая находится у власти в Грузии с 2012 года, примут участие в выборах по отдельности, не под одним номером, как это было в 2012.

Об отставках объявил Давид Усупашвили, который возглавит список Республиканской партии на предстоящих выборах. Третий же член кабинета министров от Республиканской партии, Гигла Агулашвили, министр охраны окружающей среды, принял решение покинуть партию и остаться в правительстве.

Согласно Усупашвили, республиканцы хотели сохранить кабинет министров в том же составе до выборов, но их партнеры по коалиции "Грузинская мечта" отвергли эту идею. Республиканцев в правительстве мало, но мы "многое сделали" для Грузии, заявил он журналистам.

"Мы продолжим борьбу за лучшую Грузии. Мы объявим о планах партии и нашем предвыборном списке в ближайшие дни."

Ethiopian dam upsets Egypt, whilst China plays a difficult game

Ethiopia last week opened its mega dam on the River Nile, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. The launch has sparked a tense diplomatic battle between Ethiopia and Egypt, with Cairo denouncing it as “an unlawful unilateral act” and protesting to the United Nations Security Council. During an inauguration ceremony on Tuesday (9 September) Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed described the US$5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam as a “symbol of Ethiopian unity and national achievement". Several regional leaders, including Kenyan President William Ruto and Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, attended the event. Egypt, whose life has historically centred around the River Nile, believes the dam will threaten its water supply and cause shortages. Following the inauguration, Cairo warned that it reserved the right to take all measures provided for under international law and the UN Charter to “defend the existential interests of its people”. Sudan, has also raised concerns about dam safety and the risk of uncoordinated water releases.
