Who Killed engineer Simegnew Bekele?

His wife voice not heard, independent journalists are not investigate?

A year since his death, the project manager of the multi-billion-dollar Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam,and the leader of patriotic ambitions engineer Simegnew Bekele still stirs up emotions from both his family and the people of Ethiopia. Those emotions are not unlikely to go away,

In June 11, 2018, Ethiopia’s prime minister has sworn not to “harm” Egypt’s share of the Nile, breaking the deadlock in talks over control of Africa’s longest river. In 26 July 2018, one month and fifteen days later engineer Simegnew was dead no one could find the root cause, except the police report.

On the morning of 26 July 2018, Simegnew was found shot dead in his Toyota Land Cruiser on Addis Ababa's Meskel Square. Speaking at a press conference, Former Ethiopian Federal Police Commissioner Zeinu Jemal said that he had been found with a Colt gun in his right hand and a bullet wound behind his right ear, however foul play has been suspected. Simegnew had been scheduled to give a press conference on the progress of the dam later that day, following comments by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed that construction could take up to ten more years, far more than previous projections. He was the public face of the dam being built near the country's western border with Sudan that, when completed, will be Africa's largest.

My initial investigation focus on the hope of Ethiopian development leader was killed with political plot.

It's a very complicated case it has politics intelligence close to files and a search for the facts. I've faced fierce opposition to access the information. I’ve been placed under close surveillance but now I have the final results on my investigation answers a question that's haunted the closed door of information access for nearly a year who killed engineer Simegnew Bekele. What I've got now is definitely a political plots need to revealed the crime of the century rather than a police report.

When engineer Simegnew Bekele died in 2018 most Ethiopians thought it was murdered. During the occasion tens of thousands of Ethiopians gathered for Simegnew ’s funeral at Meskel Square — the same place where his body was found days earlier in what is widely believed to be an assassination.

Tibebeselassie Tigabu, from the BBC's Amharic Service, interviewed Mr Simegnew days before he died.

"He gave his life for the dam," she says, explaining that he spent most of his time around the dam, which was located in Ethiopia's Benishangul-Gumuz region near Sudan, nearly 1,000km north-west of his home in Addis Ababa.

"It is a difficult place to live and he had been there for more than six years," she adds.

Matina Stevis-Gridneff, Africa correspondent for the Wall Street Journal who knew Mr Simegnew, says he has come to represent these patriotic ambitions.

"He was someone who was extremely patriotic and had devoted his life to the betterment of his country," she told the BBC'S Focus on Africa radio programme.

"He seemed to have devoted his entire life to Ethiopia's future by contributing what he could, which was his engineering skills."

The fact was buried so are the answers to the family questions today. My professional journalism ethics insists engineer Simegnew Bekele is killed. even though we don't know exactly who, he couldn't have shrunk and died without a letter found in the postal paper and his wife testimony that they could not identify ever since present. There was no clear evidence that this was a case of assassination that engineer Simegnew Bekele was actually killed by Egyptians plot, over Nile river, killed himself, or the government itself. After his death the dam construction and the public moral goes to down. I realize the laugh of Egypt, the dance of President Abdel Fattah el Sisi on his death.

On the surface, the 558 ft tall dam — Africa’s biggest hydropower project — belies Ethiopia’s financial muscle. The GDP per capita in Ethiopia is only $475. The dam would be built without begging for money from donors. Since then, construction has progressed steadily using money from poor citizens contribution, local taxes, donations and government bonds. Ethiopians abroad and at home contributed the first $350 million, with government workers contributing amounts equivalent to a month of their salaries.

The late Semegnew Bekele, told The Guardian, a British newspaper: “Ordinary people are building an extraordinary project.” Development experts now showcase the dam as proof of an innovative approach to project financing. “Approximately $450 million has been raised from Ethiopians to help build the dam and I think the target is probably a billion dollars,” says Zemedeneh Negatu, managing partner at Ernst & Young Ethiopia, a financial consulting firm.

Peoples suspected foul play what they did about it in 26 July 2018 has remained a secret until now. Abiy was the one who decided upon assuming the post of engineer Simegnew to change construction’s approach, asserting that the former TPLF Authority is part of the problem, rather than the solution, and that Grand corruption over the dam construction under the military Engineering leaders are still accuse and the process of justice ....Only the coming years, the access of information is open to the public and perhaps the answer that will come to the Ethiopian people may bring an answer to this curious question.”

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which is set to be Africa's biggest hydropower plant, is one of a number of large-scale infrastructure projects aimed at putting Ethiopia on course to become a middle-income nation by 2025.The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is one of Africa’s most ambitious infrastructure projects, reaffirming Ethiopia’s goals of becoming a key regional player and a major exporter of power.
