The secret border agreement has been officially nullified. Your collective commitment to protecting our territorial integrity forced this result and I am truly grateful for your resolve. We must remain vigilant to ensure that the sovereignty of our land is never again compromised by such processes.

With this just-concluded secret deal between the President of the Sudan and the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, huge swathes of our ancestral lands will be ceded to the Sudan. These reports have been received with utter shock, resentment and anger by Ethiopians at home and abroad.
Neither the current generation of Ethiopians nor those of future generations will allow the deal to stand for it constitutes a serious violation of the treaty regime set up at the turn of the century and holds for naught the sacrifices of past generations of Ethiopians to preserve the territorial integrity of their country. We wish to add that thousands of Ethiopian people will be forced to lose their homes, farms and investments if the border deal is implemented without their participation and consent.
The border deal of today hatched by unelected elites will be the ticking bomb of tomorrow. Since it has neither support in law nor received the consent of the Ethiopian people, it will fester as a major source of friction and tension between the brotherly peoples of Ethiopia and the Sudan.
The current extremely narrowly- based government in Ethiopia and the government of the Sudan are grasping at straws by using the border deal as a way of ensuring their political survival by a mutual exchange of promises foreswearing the use of their territories by organized movements seeking to overthrow their respective governments. This survival instinct underlies the parties’ desire to make a border deal and to keep it from public scrutiny without consideration of its impact on the people of Ethiopia.
We want to go on record as asserting our right to territorial sovereignty as defined by treaty – and not any other agreement that is reached behind the back of the Ethiopian people. We reserve the right t o not honor any boundary that results from the agreement of an unelected and unrepresentative government that is devoid of any support or legitimacy among its own people.
We totally and unequivocally reject this secret deal.

This long and wide stretch of land has never been part of the Sudan. Once again this part of the well-orchestrated campaign of the TPLF to dismember and dismantle Ethiopia. Nothing this vile organization does surprise me.
I didn't agree that the ethiopia government to give the Ethiopian land to others without ethiopian agreement because Ethiopia land is Ethiopian peoples property not for government. goverment can't do any thing without people agreement.
The secret border deal is null and void. Otherwise, it will cause serious conflict between Ethiopian and Sudan in the future as this deal is suspected to have seriously compromised Ethiopia's interest. Again, STOP the secret illegal deal!!!
The deal is conducted without the concent of the Ethiopian people and unacceptable. I urge both the Sudan and Ethiopian regimes to stop this illegal deal thay may inflict injuries to both countries in the near future.
I add my voice to this petition to state that a negotiation that is done behind the Ethiopian people on such important matter is illegal and illegitimate. It will only be a source of conflict between the two countries in the future. Hence it must be rejected.
I strongly opposed the secret border deal between the government of Ethiopia and Sudanese government.
