CNN's Zain Asher explains the tensions between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over Ethiopia's Nile River dam project and speaks to Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdokon about the controversy. #CNN #News #CNNi
What Egypt and Sudan is asking Ethiopia is to sign on a paper that says Ethiopia will never use a single drop of water from Nile after filling the dam. By the way - 86.5 % of nile water comes out of Ethiopia. - 65 million Ethiopia had no electric power. - 100% of Egypt is electrified - Egypt contributes 0% of nile water but uses more than 90% of nile water. These are the people Ethiopia is dealing with.
It rains in Ethiopia 🇪🇹,and Cotten grows in the desert of Egypt. It rains in Ethiopia 🇪🇹,and the lights go on Egypt. Ethiopians rains has been magical for Egypt. Time to make that magic work for Ethiopia 🇪🇹.💚💛❤️

Totally Wrong statement. Ethiopia has a natural right to build a dam and use God given rain to produce Electricity to boost of her economy. The only reason that Egypt don't want Ethiopia to use the dam for electric power production is that Egypt might loose economic leadership in the East part of Africa.
We are not selfish as Sudan and Egypt. We only say that we use water to generate electricity. Moreover it help them get almost uniformly flowing water throughout while minimizing flooding. But they blindly oppose it because they enjoy seeing us in dark and poverty! That is it.
Sounds to me like CNN should be interviewing a scientist to see how much effect the dam would actually have on the downstream river. Not just repeating stuff from politicians
egypt is the cause of 1 million death in ethiopia in 1984 famine because they destroyed ethiopian material to build dam in 1976 while crossing swez canal
So you don't care about Egypt and Sudan , you don't care about how many farmers will lost the source of water to their lands , you don't care about how many lands gonna die in my country , you don't care about how the economy in my country would been destroyed, how many people gonna lost their jobs , isn't that selfish
@@yousufrashwan it's even more selfish to not give ethiopians rights to use the water enough, with the fact that ethiopia have no right to the nile according to the British egyptian treaty
We need to stop explaining ourself to these people because we have a saying “awko yetegna beterut aysemam”! Which means “ the one who sleeps intentionally will not hear you calling”
That’s because Al Bashir ( the war criminal like Abiy Ahmed ) would go as far as hurting his own country and his own people just to damage Egypt, now Sudanese are back in game.
@@lotfyamr84 Wow ...everything is about you isn’t it ? Al Bashir was hurting his own people just to damage egypt..do you know how absurd you people sound ?? Truth is the new Sudani regime is backed by UAE and egypt that’s why it turned against ethiopia...the dam actually benefits Sudan and prevents floods like last year.
@@mehdibahaj7792 Just go check how many times Al Bashir tried to assaisinat Mubarak and other Egyptian presidents and carry out terrorist attacks in Egypt. Plus he is a war criminal, all of this is well known and documented, just google it and save yourself and myself sometime 😊.

That's the main thing everyone should know, THE DAM IS BUILDING ON ABAY RIVER IN 'ETHIOPIA LAND NOT IN NILE! they get so confuse on their argument. No one wants to hear the EThiopians side, they always want to hear the one who is barking for nothing.

@@sofoniyas8666 ok yeah so u by that u saying fck those people we will kill over 200mil people do u think if we died everything will gl back to normal do u think that the arabic countries will stay quiet or african or the world
@@omarossama650 ,we didn't want to harm any country because of the dam, we said we have the right to use our resources, Don't u know? The dam is really important to many of Ethiopian citizens, do so no one can stop us , pls make peace prize negotiations is better than war u have to consider it, even though Egypt and Sudan opposed that the dam is not filled until they reached agreement but we don't agree with this, the dam is ours we are building in our territory, so we have right to fill and finish the dam
As an African who follow this issue with huge interest, both Egypt and Sudan know that the Ethiopians are only filling the dam during the rainy season (July-Sep)? beside it has been suggested by experts that Egypt can utilise their massive water reserve from Lake Nasser (which has 3 X the capacity of the Ethiopian dam) to make up the shortfall during the filling of the Ethiopian dam. At the same time Egypt should explore ways to minimise water wastage, water pollution , water recycling etc. In the long term I would also strongly suggest that Egypt to focus more on integrating it's economy with African (specially Nile Basin countries) rather than focusing in the Middle East. For far too long Egypt has kept its distance from Africa hence why many African countries wouldn't see Egypt in the same lenses as they see Ethiopia. If Egyptian politicians think military confrontation as a solution, then yes in the short term the Ethiopians might suffer as their project will be affected, but in the long term it will be Egypt & Sudan that will be highly damaged both politically and economically. I said politically, coz majority of African, including my country will be siding with Ethiopia and some wouldn't even hesitate to offer military support because they agree with Ethiopia's right to utilise her natural resources to elevate her citizens from poverty. Also I said Egypt will be impacted economically in the long term if she ever did attack Ethiopia. You might ask how? Well there is some article which I have read sometime ago and it details out if such scenario (attack on their dam) did ever happen, the government of Ethiopia without notifying Egypt and Sudan will resort to diverting all the smaller streams, and tributary rivers which feed into the Blue Nile in retaliation. This would have far more adverse effect than current dam which they are building. The only way to stop the Ethiopians from diverting the streams and tributary rivers is to send a send hundreds of thousands of ground troops and colonise Ethiopia and I can not see that happening! Therefore my advise to Egyptians, it is easy to start a war / military confrontation but Egypt won't have control over the outcome. If Egypt choose to go down this path then I say good luck!! coz I know they will come out of it far worse. lol
Thank you to talk the fact and the reality on the ground. We Ethiopian never want to hurt our African brothers. And we understood Nile(Abay) for all. It is Our blessing from God. but if some country want to burie us? We are ready to protect our country from colonial ambitious dictatorship. #panAfricanism.
Deep and interesting tensions created by sharing a river. The only way to share a river effectively is cooperatively, perfect example of how nations must learn to be more constructive as our population exceeds global capacity.
@@lostpony4885 Actually there is a Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA) on the utilisation of Nile Waters and it was signed by 6 countries Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. But Egypt and Sudan refused to be part of that agreement because they wanted to keep their 1929 agreement (signed between Egypt and their colonial power Britain) and 1959 agreement (signed between Egypt and Sudan) instead. This left the Ethiopians very little choice but to go ahead with the construction of their dam on the Blue Nile. The previous Egyptian president (Mohammed Morsi) was caught on camera (unaware that it was being shown live on Egyptian TV) discussing in detail on the use of their military force to destroy the Ethiopian dam. The fact of the matter is that Egypt doesn't want to share the Nile water with upstream countries like Ethiopia. They only want to monopolise the water resources to themselves which is unacceptable not only for Ethiopians but for the rest of Africans.
So 86%comes from Ethiopia and this dam will put over 60 million people out of darkness and see light for the time. While Egypt is building a new capital city. Ethiopia will prosper🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Egypt will be happy to see Ethiopia rich in electricity , there is no joy or gain to see someone poor , no economic gain from that , but Egypt want guarantee Ethiopia will not stop the flow and sign it
So if a country wants to make its own power for its people that is a bad thing from other countries? To me they are saying we are better than you so stay where you are.
The concern is how it impacts their respective water supply. We can argue whether each party is acting in good faith or not but it's clear to me in principle there should always be an agreement between the affected countries.
@@e.p.s.9037 there wasn’t an agreement between the USA and mexico for the hoover dam. And since we are talking about water situation let’s start in egypt which has created a reservoir for its grand Aswan dam twice the size of the reservoir of GERD Ethiopia is trying to fill the dam with 10-15% of the flow ie for seven years during the rainy season we could literally fill the dam in a year and Egypt wouldn’t feel anything. Now to Sudan just to remind you due to unpredictable annual flow of the Nile in its natural form farmers along the Sudanese delta are limited on the number of times they can plant crops throughout the year also last year Sudan had horrendous flooding www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2020/9/25/over-800000-affected-in-sudan-flooding-un one should also add that in the declaration of principles there is an article we can start filling during construction so no I don’t accept this manufactured consent to vilify Ethiopia for practicing its rights and obligation to end the suffering of poverty egypt is just scared of the power it will give us that is their only argument they are basically spoiled children asking for all the chips to be in their corner god gave the Nile to Ethiopia too and telling us we can’t use 60% of our resource because a more geopolitically influential nation demands do is madness
@@menassies3224 There are 3 treaties between USA and Mexico for use of shared rivers including Colorado River and Rio Grande River. The water sharing treaties were signed in 1944 and revised in 2012. Get your facts right. You can't compare what happened in the 1960-1970 with regard to the filling of Aswan dam to the current circumstances 50 yrs later. The populations of both countries has grown, while Ethiopia has several rivers, lakes and plenty rainfall Egypt only has the Nile and with very little rainfall. Water should be shared according to needs and resources and Ethiopia seems like a small child shouting that they have a right Not to Consult and Not to Share the Water because Egypt may have done the same thing half a century ago. We all need to grow up. It is a myth when you say Egypt doesn't want Ethiopia to use it's resources, yet Egypt after the initial misguided opposition to the dam came to fully accept and acknowledge Ethiopia's right to build the dam and are been very reasonable in asking for a water sharing agreement. The ball is in Ethiopia's court and the rest of Africa is watching and are getting tired of Ethiopia. After years of Africa supporting Ethiopia's right to build the dam Africa doesn't understand why Ethiopia doesn't want to share those waters.
@@menassies3224 yh what Michael said was right tbh. Now that you mention Mexico, if you acc google "hoover dam Mexico", you'll find that even if they maybe didn't have an agreement, water flow was still reduced substantially for Mexico unfortunately - from 1200 to 164 cubic metres per second, affecting the surrounding biodiversity and prosperity for farmers. To make matters worse, another dam along the same Colorado River called Moreno, was also built and thus further reduced the water flow from 164 to about 8 cubic metres per second. So yes, Egypt and Sudan's worries are definitely justified, and just imagine the impact it would have on those two countries who aren't even that well developed yet.
Facts: Ethiopia has 1000 billions cubic meters annual gain. Egypt only get 55 that overflow from tana lake. So don't thru lies and portrait Ethiopia as a victim whereas it is the one who actually tries to block water for strategic and political goals
@@omarossama650 stop lying my friend no it’s not. Sudan has so much water they were flooded not to long ago. We all know why Sudan supports Egypt ideas.
@@berekete3029 well am not the scintests who said it will lower the water and am not who filmed and said the water volume is lower just let ur brain work
How many dams are their on Nile in Egypt and Sudan? The answer is too many so Ethiopia have the right to use it's water. 86% of nile comes from Ethiopia.
@@omarossama650 millions of peoples are starving and suffuring from poverty while you have full of electicity through the whole country we will finish the dam and get the hell out of poverty #Itsmydam
@@aboutent2893 Egypt offered Ethiopia twice the amount of electricity that you are gonna generate from the dam but Ethiopia refused. Don't you want to get out of poverty? :/ Guess not.
@@aboutent2893 Yeah! And it's not like we Ethiopians are gonna use all of the power for ourselves, we'll share with other neighboring countries suffering from power outages and cuts like Kenya.
To talk about GERD dam with out Ethiopia’s presence is sham...Ethiopia contribute 85% river Nile ....we don’t need anyone’s permission to build a dam on our river. Period.
Egypt : we don't want to harm anyone ...the water is enough for everyone and we will use it....so please forget the colonial agreements, stop your arrogance and superiority complex... be thankful and come into agreement!
Egypt is not arrogant or claiming superiority, Egypt is being robed by Ethiopians who think its theirs and only them can decide , Egypt is the poorest country in water, this is statistics, by the time the river arrives to Egypt half our share is evaporated or wasted on the way , you see water in the river, but it must be lifted against the gravity o or pumped upward to make use of it this make it expensive and unreachable, same for electricity , very little behind the turbines
@@wadeasaad3842 haha what are you 12 years old?

@@wadeasaad3842 You guys are blatant liars. I think it's your culture to lie. Your government lie everyday, your negotiators lie everyday. Everyone from Egypt except some intellectuals lie. Egypt is surrounded by sea water which can be distilled and used. Also Egypt has a lot of underground water which can last thousands of years. Your reservoirs behind your dams hold a total of 190 billion cubic meters of water. This amount is ready to be used for electricity and irrigation. You said Ethiopia is robbing Egypt's water. Are we robbing your water that you kept in our country? What are you talking about!? River Nile belongs to all the 11 Nile basins countries Egypt is one of the. It's time to face reality!

Otherwise , you will bear the consequences . ✌️🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 the making Ethiopia
Everything was peaceful when it was Ethiopians living in poverty and images of Ethiopian malnourished children. It is okay that Britain developed these artificial borders resulting in more chaos and unequal distribution of regional resources. Now that this modern historically impoverished nation tries to use its own resources, its a problem. Sudan of all nations should be ashamed of collaborating with these Western forces despite being caught in the middle.
150 KM of Egypt's Aswan is inside of Sudan and is taken by Egypt. Also Egypt has taken two other major agricultural regions from Sudan. Still Sudan is waging its tail to Egypt.
I am very sorry for Great people of Sudanese. Their leaders bought by Egypt. They told them what to do. Ethiopia and Sudanese knew that dam is beneficial to both countries but Egypt play a bad game on Sudanese through their corrupted leaders. Welk up brothers

@@agnobayisenalemis My friend, Ethiopia is filling the dam in 5-7 years and only in rainy seasons so as to enable our downstream neighbours get near average flow.
With all due respect to Zain’s journalism excellency, she should have investigated the matter more deeply and asked the PM follow up questions, instead of throwing soft questions. Furthermore, it is true that Sudan shares borders with seven countries but he was misleading when he said “ the only border issue they have is with Ethiopia” Sudan has border issues with Libya, Egypt, South Sudan, Eritrea, chad and Ethiopia.
@@limayahe363 the Sudanese PM had a bout of selective amnesia. He forgot that less than a month ago his army had a clash over territory that Egypt took from Sudan in recent times. A land rich in minerals, major fishing on the Red Sea as well as land submerged by lake Nasser, but I guess he forgot that suddenly
No, Sudan just wants to know what's going on. It's normal to be concerned by this dam. Especially since it's so close to the border. You would be too. Also you spelt it wrong. It's *master arab. Then there's also the fact that Sudan IS an arab country you half wit.

@@yeneamlak2004 oh really prove it what they did wrong for them aiding them or fighting for the dam wich will kill both of them when u say something come with facts first
This is one sided misleading report. The whole conversation was about the effect on Sudan/Egypt. What effect are you talking about? Let’s be honest, this project doesn’t even consume a drop of water and there is no international/natural law that prohibit a country to use its own natural resource, period. It would have been better if all former colonial powers take their hands off.
Let’s cut the crap because all parties know what’s going on, they just want to confuse people and can’t stand Ethiopia being self sufficient and out of receiving donor aid!!!
I don't think Egypt is living in the desert at all. Each person has access to a private swimming pool in their home while Ethiopia doesn't have a cup to drink. We know it all but it's 😏😏😏
Then you will. We all know no force can stop Nile. The water will keep flowing,the difference is there won’t be no more soil coming from Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Instead Ethiopia will use it to feed their people. Hopefully that help a little!
We would be glad but nuclear is super expensive I doubt they can affixed it 1000MW nuclear bloc costs around 10 billion and we in Ethiopia don’t have a nuclear power plant yet we are in talks with Russia tho
Don't get it twisted Egypt and Sudan have agreed to Ethiopia's right and manifest destiny to build the dam. The issue in dispute is how to fill and share the waters of the river.
Yes Sisi and Trump talking about blowing up Ethiopian Aswan High Dam is frankly psychotic madness. They blow it up and they can kiss the blue Nile goodbye

@joyo BVB I have answer, let me tell u one thing u will pay heavy price wait soon, don't mess with Ethiopian no one can stop us from feeling or finishing our dam
Egypt has no legal basis on which to oppose the GERD filling, Egypt and Sudan does not own 100, of Nile waters. There is no water sharing agreement between Egypt and Ethiopia. Egypt refused to relinquish this claim of owning 100% of nile waters.
GERD is my dam. We(Ethiopians) fill in July 2021! No binding agreement at this stage. What Egypt and Sudan is asking Ethiopia is to sign on a paper that says Ethiopia will never use a single drop of water from Nile after filling the dam. Here's a fact about the Nile case:- - 86.5 % of nile water comes out of Ethiopia. - 65 million Ethiopia had no electric power. - 100% of Egypt is electrified - Egypt contributes 0% of nile water but uses more than 90% of nile water. These are the people Ethiopia is dealing with.
The dam will not give you prosperity it will give you a war with a country that is fully dependant on the nile because it's a matter of existance to Egypt. Egypt wants peace and really doesn't want to have a war with it's neighbour and doesn't like to prove it's strenght and build hatered to ethiopian next generation, but when it comes to existance Egypt will fight, it's a 100% fact now in Egypt but when Egypt fight it wil not only completely destroy the dam. Unfortunatelly you will be sorry that you didn't accept to sit and agree on laws with Egypt and sudan in how to use the dam and don't affect our existance. The End
say that to our Trees and animals, human beings, fields of national security = Egyptian historical slap water in river say I wanna go Egypt trust ur God that will be good for u water give Egypt power to defend Africa
We are not selfish as Sudan and Egypt. We only say that we use water to generate electricity. In turn they will get regulated water floor throughout. But the blindly opposed it because they enjoy seeing us in dark and poverty! That is it.
This water does not belong to you. Therefore, you must use your resources, not our resources. The Nile is a common international river between the three countries. If you want to construct a dam without damage to Egypt and Sudan completely, the dam was built on the borders of Sudan. If it collapses, it will completely destroy Sudan.
PM we ask you to withdraw your military from Ethiopian territory. It is for the sake of your own nation. Ethiopia rejected your so called 1958 agreement in 1958 why do you think it will accept it now?
First of all, the water belongs to Ethiopia. They have ever right to build a dam for electric to benefit it's citizens. Secondly, look at Egypt, they built their own dam with Nile water and now when it's Ethiopian turn they have a problem. That's is Ludacris. Lastly, Sudan doesn't have that much saying. I believe they are going to be better serve if you get that build the dam then they can buy electricity for cheap instead of using a candle now. Whether they like it or not the dam is going to be filled.
Ethiopia get every year almost 1 Trillion cubicle meters of water Egypt get 55 billion cubicle meters of water ethiopia wont to cut the water from Egypt is seem act of war to you?
Again the same crazy talk !!! How come you talk of an international river as if it’s your property, you clearly need better education in Ethiopia, or maybe they are deluding you into thinking that on purpose !!! That is totally unbelievably crazy !!!!
Al Sisi knows very well the consequence of war, he just wants to get Egyptian support him and stay in power which he snatched it from Mohamed Morsi. It seems like Egyptian forgot what they rise for during Mubarack protest. They made significant progress by removing Mobarak and voting who they like, Morsi, but their election was overturned and taken by Al Sisi who is a military junta. The sad thing is the USA sided with this dictator and dance with him.

Dear CNN and Mr. PM, in this case I would infer something bitter assumption . That is ; of course, what if Sudan and Egypt was a source of Nile water, for sure they could sell us water per Bottle. T
Ethiopians see building the dam as a fundamental right, one that could bring electricity to the more than half of Ethiopians who don't have access at home.
85 % of nile river is from the rain ethiopian highlands.so far ethiopia didn't use single drop of water due to egyptian colonial agreement.but now it is the time ethiopia to use the water for electricity coz more than 60 millions ethiopians are living in dark.
Egypt and Sudan concerns is not filling of the dam . They want Ethiopia to sign deal that it wont use the water in future for any kind of project. Which is damn request. Ethiopia is saying it wont decided its future need at this point.
May the LORD JESUS stand with Ethiopia because Ethiopia have every right to use our own water even though I am not happy with Ethiopian government the way they are treating the people of Tigray and Amhara people!
But the other side has refused to talk and if the Ethiopian PM talks why should we believe him as he is a well known liar who lied saying there are no Eritrean troops in Tigray and then said not a single civilian has died in it's security operations. Such a clown.
Egypt is not pushing sudan, both are Middle East and Arab countries. however, Sudan is more into Egypt's side and they are also having conflicts with Ethiopia
With due respect Mr.Prime Minister. You better talk Sudan's stands than echoing your Egyptian boss's voice. This is our resource and we have the right to use it. The dam is not meant to harm anyone- including your country.
Would have been great to put some statistice on water generation and utilization. Egypt and Sudan would like to use 100% of the water. That is becoming history. Pls look forward how to improve efficiency in the use of such scarce resources together to benefit all. Remember when it Ethiopia say no to unfair deals, it means no!

The benefit of Ethiopia's GERD dam to Sudan is equivalent to Aswan Dam to Egypt. Sudan leaders stand against the interest of their own country & people for the benefit of Egypt in exchange for Egypt's back up to consolidate their grip on power. They are on power play at the expense of Sudanese people
It's simple: When asked one about the dam being controversial, response was: It is the power issue. That means EGYPT and others don't want ETHIOPIA to be prosper! A black nation being prosper and powerful perhaps unthinkable!
85% percent of the water is originated fron Ethiopia and 60 % of the population has no electric access, clean water and other related problems. So Ethiopia has right to use the resources . When Egypt and Sudan built their Dam, didn't concern about Ethiopia. If Egypt and sudan nerd the water the only options they have is to look at different methods like using underground water or using sea water .
What hatred is in your hearts, the water does not belong to you, nor are you who created the river. Ethiopia possesses 950 billion cubic meters of water secondarily, and you look at the share of Egypt and Sudan, which equals 75 billion, and claim that we are the reason for your poverty.
It is time for Mam Ethiopia to use her natural resources the Abay water is our blood we are not saying Nile they can take their Nile if we don't know which river is Nile for your surprise this name is the colonists name given to our great river Abay they call it Nile.we didn't accept the colonists at the time of colonies forget now.we are the only independent nation in Africa and we are the sign of freedom.VIV Minilik

What Egypt and Sudan is asking Ethiopia is to sign on a paper that says Ethiopia will never use a single drop of water from Nile after filling the dam. By the way
- 86.5 % of nile water comes out of Ethiopia.
- 65 million Ethiopia had no electric power.
- 100% of Egypt is electrified
- Egypt contributes 0% of nile water but uses more than 90% of nile water.
These are the people Ethiopia is dealing with.
If so, just deal with them effectively
The 3 countries made a deal 2015! All agreed! No more negotiation! Ethiopia is moving forward! Game over!!!

Totally Wrong statement. Ethiopia has a natural right to build a dam and use God given rain to produce Electricity to boost of her economy. The only reason that Egypt don't want Ethiopia to use the dam for electric power production is that Egypt might loose economic leadership in the East part of Africa.
We are not selfish as Sudan and Egypt. We only say that we use water to generate electricity. Moreover it help them get almost uniformly flowing water throughout while minimizing flooding. But they blindly oppose it because they enjoy seeing us in dark and poverty! That is it.
thats tru egypt never want africain prospere they want them stay poor
Sounds to me like CNN should be interviewing a scientist to see how much effect the dam would actually have on the downstream river. Not just repeating stuff from politicians

@@omarossama650 ,we didn't want to harm any country because of the dam, we said we have the right to use our resources, Don't u know? The dam is really important to many of Ethiopian citizens, do so no one can stop us , pls make peace prize negotiations is better than war u have to consider it, even though Egypt and Sudan opposed that the dam is not filled until they reached agreement but we don't agree with this, the dam is ours we are building in our territory, so we have right to fill and finish the dam
As an African who follow this issue with huge interest, both Egypt and Sudan know that the Ethiopians are only filling the dam during the rainy season (July-Sep)? beside it has been suggested by experts that Egypt can utilise their massive water reserve from Lake Nasser (which has 3 X the capacity of the Ethiopian dam) to make up the shortfall during the filling of the Ethiopian dam. At the same time Egypt should explore ways to minimise water wastage, water pollution , water recycling etc. In the long term I would also strongly suggest that Egypt to focus more on integrating it's economy with African (specially Nile Basin countries) rather than focusing in the Middle East. For far too long Egypt has kept its distance from Africa hence why many African countries wouldn't see Egypt in the same lenses as they see Ethiopia.
If Egyptian politicians think military confrontation as a solution, then yes in the short term the Ethiopians might suffer as their project will be affected, but in the long term it will be Egypt & Sudan that will be highly damaged both politically and economically. I said politically, coz majority of African, including my country will be siding with Ethiopia and some wouldn't even hesitate to offer military support because they agree with Ethiopia's right to utilise her natural resources to elevate her citizens from poverty. Also I said Egypt will be impacted economically in the long term if she ever did attack Ethiopia. You might ask how? Well there is some article which I have read sometime ago and it details out if such scenario (attack on their dam) did ever happen, the government of Ethiopia without notifying Egypt and Sudan will resort to diverting all the smaller streams, and tributary rivers which feed into the Blue Nile in retaliation. This would have far more adverse effect than current dam which they are building. The only way to stop the Ethiopians from diverting the streams and tributary rivers is to send a send hundreds of thousands of ground troops and colonise Ethiopia and I can not see that happening! Therefore my advise to Egyptians, it is easy to start a war / military confrontation but Egypt won't have control over the outcome. If Egypt choose to go down this path then I say good luck!! coz I know they will come out of it far worse. lol
You make good points. Thanks for your input.
Thank you to talk the fact and the reality on the ground.

#panAfricanism.
Deep and interesting tensions created by sharing a river. The only way to share a river effectively is cooperatively, perfect example of how nations must learn to be more constructive as our population exceeds global capacity.
Thank you 🙏🏽 our brothers! 🇪🇹
@@lostpony4885 Actually there is a Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA) on the utilisation of Nile Waters and it was signed by 6 countries Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. But Egypt and Sudan refused to be part of that agreement because they wanted to keep their 1929 agreement (signed between Egypt and their colonial power Britain) and 1959 agreement (signed between Egypt and Sudan) instead. This left the Ethiopians very little choice but to go ahead with the construction of their dam on the Blue Nile. The previous Egyptian president (Mohammed Morsi) was caught on camera (unaware that it was being shown live on Egyptian TV) discussing in detail on the use of their military force to destroy the Ethiopian dam. The fact of the matter is that Egypt doesn't want to share the Nile water with upstream countries like Ethiopia. They only want to monopolise the water resources to themselves which is unacceptable not only for Ethiopians but for the rest of Africans.
So 86%comes from Ethiopia and this dam will put over 60 million people out of darkness and see light for the time. While Egypt is building a new capital city. Ethiopia will prosper🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Their problem is not our building the dam and generate power their main problem is they can't see "Prosperous Ethiopia" finished full stop
Egypt will be happy to see Ethiopia rich in electricity , there is no joy or gain to see someone poor , no economic gain from that , but Egypt want guarantee Ethiopia will not stop the flow and sign it
So if a country wants to make its own power for its people that is a bad thing from other countries?
To me they are saying we are better than you so stay where you are.
The concern is how it impacts their respective water supply. We can argue whether each party is acting in good faith or not but it's clear to me in principle there should always be an agreement between the affected countries.
@@e.p.s.9037 there wasn’t an agreement between the USA and mexico for the hoover dam. And since we are talking about water situation let’s start in egypt which has created a reservoir for its grand Aswan dam twice the size of the reservoir of GERD Ethiopia is trying to fill the dam with 10-15% of the flow ie for seven years during the rainy season we could literally fill the dam in a year and Egypt wouldn’t feel anything. Now to Sudan just to remind you due to unpredictable annual flow of the Nile in its natural form farmers along the Sudanese delta are limited on the number of times they can plant crops throughout the year also last year Sudan had horrendous flooding www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2020/9/25/over-800000-affected-in-sudan-flooding-un one should also add that in the declaration of principles there is an article we can start filling during construction so no I don’t accept this manufactured consent to vilify Ethiopia for practicing its rights and obligation to end the suffering of poverty egypt is just scared of the power it will give us that is their only argument they are basically spoiled children asking for all the chips to be in their corner god gave the Nile to Ethiopia too and telling us we can’t use 60% of our resource because a more geopolitically influential nation demands do is madness
Egypt didn't say the dam shouldn't be built Egypt want the filling of the dam in 7 years so the Egypt sweat water supply wouldn't be effected
@@menassies3224 There are 3 treaties between USA and Mexico for use of shared rivers including Colorado River and Rio Grande River. The water sharing treaties were signed in 1944 and revised in 2012. Get your facts right.
You can't compare what happened in the 1960-1970 with regard to the filling of Aswan dam to the current circumstances 50 yrs later. The populations of both countries has grown, while Ethiopia has several rivers, lakes and plenty rainfall Egypt only has the Nile and with very little rainfall. Water should be shared according to needs and resources and Ethiopia seems like a small child shouting that they have a right Not to Consult and Not to Share the Water because Egypt may have done the same thing half a century ago. We all need to grow up.
It is a myth when you say Egypt doesn't want Ethiopia to use it's resources, yet Egypt after the initial misguided opposition to the dam came to fully accept and acknowledge Ethiopia's right to build the dam and are been very reasonable in asking for a water sharing agreement.
The ball is in Ethiopia's court and the rest of Africa is watching and are getting tired of Ethiopia. After years of Africa supporting Ethiopia's right to build the dam Africa doesn't understand why Ethiopia doesn't want to share those waters.
@@menassies3224 yh what Michael said was right tbh. Now that you mention Mexico, if you acc google "hoover dam Mexico", you'll find that even if they maybe didn't have an agreement, water flow was still reduced substantially for Mexico unfortunately - from 1200 to 164 cubic metres per second, affecting the surrounding biodiversity and prosperity for farmers. To make matters worse, another dam along the same Colorado River called Moreno, was also built and thus further reduced the water flow from 164 to about 8 cubic metres per second. So yes, Egypt and Sudan's worries are definitely justified, and just imagine the impact it would have on those two countries who aren't even that well developed yet.
88 % of Nile water came from Ethiopia hi-lando so,Ethiopia have right to use her on water !
But not all of it

Egypt wants peace and really doesn't want to have a war with it's neighbour and doesn't like to prove it's strenght and build hatered to ethiopian next generation, but when it comes to existance Egypt will fight, it's a 100% fact now in Egypt but when Egypt fight it wil not only completely destroy the dam.
Unfortunatelly you will be sorry that you didn't accept to sit and agree on laws with Egypt and sudan in how to use the dam and don't affect our existance.

We are not selfish as Sudan and Egypt. We only say that we use water to generate electricity. In turn they will get regulated water floor throughout. But the blindly opposed it because they enjoy seeing us in dark and poverty! That is it.
Ethiopians have the right to use our natural resources in any way we see fit. #GERDismine
This water does not belong to you. Therefore, you must use your resources, not our resources. The Nile is a common international river between the three countries. If you want to construct a dam without damage to Egypt and Sudan completely, the dam was built on the borders of Sudan. If it collapses, it will completely destroy Sudan.

First of all, the water belongs to Ethiopia. They have ever right to build a dam for electric to benefit it's citizens. Secondly, look at Egypt, they built their own dam with Nile water and now when it's Ethiopian turn they have a problem. That's is Ludacris. Lastly, Sudan doesn't have that much saying. I believe they are going to be better serve if you get that build the dam then they can buy electricity for cheap instead of using a candle now. Whether they like it or not the dam is going to be filled.
Water belongs to All

85 % of nile river is from the rain ethiopian highlands.so far ethiopia didn't use single drop of water due to egyptian colonial agreement.but now it is the time ethiopia to use the water for electricity coz more than 60 millions ethiopians are living in dark.
Egypt and Sudan concerns is not filling of the dam . They want Ethiopia to sign deal that it wont use the water in future for any kind of project. Which is damn request. Ethiopia is saying it wont decided its future need at this point.

For Egypt & Sudan it is better to cooperate with Ethiopia in good faith rather than sabotaging the construction of renaissance dam.
You don't even try to seem " balanced' by asking the other side of the story? Why Egypt is pushing Sudan to do its bidding now?
But the other side has refused to talk and if the Ethiopian PM talks why should we believe him as he is a well known liar who lied saying there are no Eritrean troops in Tigray and then said not a single civilian has died in it's security operations. Such a clown.

The benefit of Ethiopia's GERD dam to Sudan is equivalent to Aswan Dam to Egypt. Sudan leaders stand against the interest of their own country & people for the benefit of Egypt in exchange for Egypt's back up to consolidate their grip on power. They are on power play at the expense of Sudanese people
It's simple: When asked one about the dam being controversial, response was: It is the power issue. That means EGYPT and others don't want ETHIOPIA to be prosper! A black nation being prosper and powerful perhaps unthinkable!
Ethiopian need this dam they shouldn't be hungry and thirsty all at the same time
@Amr afifi also Sudan need the water too but there owner first get it okay boys
85% percent of the water is originated fron Ethiopia and 60 % of the population has no electric access, clean water and other related problems. So Ethiopia has right to use the resources . When Egypt and Sudan built their Dam, didn't concern about Ethiopia. If Egypt and sudan nerd the water the only options they have is to look at different methods like using underground water or using sea water .
What hatred is in your hearts, the water does not belong to you, nor are you who created the river. Ethiopia possesses 950 billion cubic meters of water secondarily, and you look at the share of Egypt and Sudan, which equals 75 billion, and claim that we are the reason for your poverty.
It is time for Mam Ethiopia to use her natural resources the Abay water is our blood we are not saying Nile they can take their Nile if we don't know which river is Nile for your surprise this name is the colonists name given to our great river Abay they call it Nile.we didn't accept the colonists at the time of colonies forget now.we are the only independent nation in Africa and we are the sign of freedom.VIV Minilik
