- Ministers from Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia are holding talks over disputes related to the world's longest river.
Egypt, which depends on the Nile for water, is worried about a dam being built upstream by Ethiopia.
The $5bn dam will be the largest in Africa and Ethiopia wants it to produce electricity for 70 percent of its population.
But Egypt, which relies on the Nile for 90 percent of its water supply, fears the dam would divert enough water to destroy half of the country's farmland.
Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith explains.

I’m from Somalia I agree with ithiopia to have electricity because the region needs to be develop
Iam Somali and I stand with ethoipia
Abdisalam Adan, thank you my friend!
golden foxa, I am very sorry for your Ethiopia and Ethiopians hatery, my poor friend!
Ibrahim Ismail Yonten, you originate from 2 occupied countries, my friend! Very sorry!
I am Egyptian and I stand with Egypt 🇪🇬
Somali Nat Soc Thanks! I'm Egyptian 🇪🇬 we are brothers
Africans no longer be dictating to by arabs, I applaud Ethiopia.
Mr1995wm why do they speak Arabic? What's their native tongue if not Arabic? Comfused🤔
@Wer24 Not Arabs but members of the Arab League. They are technically Arabs. Their ancestors descended from Arabs
love ETHIOPIA
@anonymous Native? Egyptians? First of all, Egyptians are not a race or even an ethnic group.
Secondly, with numerous invasions into Egypt, there is nothing native about that population. They are as about as native as Americans are to America.
And lastly, African ppl dont need you or anyone to preach to them about Africa. There is no Egypt without Uganda and Ethiopia. Period.
@Wer24 Arab/Turk invaders.
Ethiopia has the right to use all waters on her land.
yes but not on way that can harm egypt.
@@knightinthemoon2416 how gonna harm Egypt? Because the water generates electricity and it's continue flow to Mediterranean ocean
Peter yes you have right
Idiot that is Ethiopia water
Well said Peter
The African people don't dictate the Arabs on what to do with their oil, so the Arabs shouldn't the African people on what to do with their water. It only seems fair.
So Egypt is not in Africa? now I know 😋😋
The water is Ethiopias it originates in Ethiopia go back to the Arabian peninsula if you don't like it
issareign then how come they haven’t I have here’d a lot. But nothing has not happened I am happy for a Coptic brothers in Ethiopia
issareign Egypt should've used that oil money of theirs to build desalination plants in the Mediterranean and Red seas, instead of making luxurious mosques and hotels.
George 254 Egypt is in Africa!
While you all are talking here...my Ethiopia is busy building the dam and soon will start filling it. As it was said before both nations will benefit from it. Egypt has no right to force the Ethiopian government to stop the construction. #Longliveኢትዮጵያዬ
Aschalew Yehuala
Don't worry 50 million African Americans agree with you it's your water drink it all if you like .
Redirect it into the ocean if you want it's yours !
Bobob
Thank u bro, we love u our African American brothers and sisters
Aschalew Yehuala That's right
ya ya we are busy.Egypt must agree with Ethiopia bcz Egypt has no a right to stop our dam
@@gemalhayelom6232 ethiopia has no right to destroy the farmland on egypt too.
Let me tell you guys why Egypt is mad about this dam (Africa's largest dam). It's because the rich soul from Ethiopia will no longer freely run down the Nile making their land fertile, like it's been doing for thousands of years. This is why Egypt is made! Water will continue to flow into Egypt, because this a hydro electric power plant and water must flow in order to create friction which creates electricity. This dam will not be used for irrigation, Ethiopia has 9 other river, but the Nile (known as Abay in Amharic) will be used for generating electricity ONLY! Egypt just wants the black soot from Ethiopia. They will no longer get it. If they want our free soil then give us free oil, since we don't have oil. But, the water will still flow people. It has to, to generate electricity. Egyptians were even caught on camera discussing how to destabilize Ethiopian using tribal issues. These people are evil!
Aksum አክሱም ፣ ንግሥት
We are not evil ..! No I have my Ethiopian friend study here in Egypt and I live him ...it is all about we have a serious issue economically and the dam will take half of the water ..
It will only reduce downstream flow to fill it, and Im sure it will be filled slowly. They would never do it so fast that it would kill half of Egypts farmland. Once the dam is filled it will actually be able to release more water because in the dry season it will have water it held from the wet season that would have otherwise just flowed into the ocean. I hope all sides will cooperate and if they do it should be a benefit for all. We need to move from fossil fuels to electric and this will help a lot.
We do have oil, in the somali region
Aksum አክሱም ፣ ንግሥት their government is a dictatorship. Dont blame on all egyptian
u realize that a hydro electric power plant doesn't use friction to generate electricity right
Egypt must stop depending on the Nile and build desalination plants along the Mediterranean and Red Sea, like Saudi Arabia.
ATSE SHADE They should get tech from China to make more oiasis and reservoir.
If they have mountain range they also have artficial glaciers at Sinai.
Zender Bender Can Egypt afford it? Even Australia, a rich country find it extremely expensive.
No practical at all for Egypt
Faux Manchu With community participation it is.
If Egypt don't want to be next South Africa, it has to take the initiative now.
In India we have 10 major rivers, still a large rural population can not get water.
We do it, we make reservoirs and artificial glaciers.
Problems are solved by solving them not by talking about them.
That’s not cheap or sustainable
I understand Egypt's concern, but I lost respect for them when they threatened Ethiopia's dam with airstrikes. (Free) Countries do what is good for THEM and that's what Ethiopia is doing.
Then I suggest u lost respect for America right? because not only they threaten but they also invade
they are free to build the dam but not free to harm egypt with it.

Egyptian-Ottoman War (1831-1833)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The First Egyptian-Ottoman War, First Turco-Egyptian War or First Syrian War (1831-1833) was a military conflict between the Ottoman Empire and Egypt brought about by Muhammad Ali Pasha's demand to the Sublime Porte for control of Greater Syria, as reward for aiding the Sultan during the Greek War of Independence. As a result, Muhammad Ali's forces temporarily gained control of Syria, advancing as far north as Kütahya.[1]
Background
Muhammad Ali Pasha is recorded as planning to extend his rule to the Ottoman Empire’s Syrian provinces as early as 1812, secretly telling the British consul of his designs on the territory that year.[1] This desire was left on hold, however, as he consolidated his rule over Egypt, modernizing its government administration, public services, and armed forces, and suppressing various rebellions, including Mameluk and Wahhabi uprisings -- on behalf of Sultan Mahmud II.[1]
In 1825, the Sultan again called on Muhammad Ali to suppress a local uprising, this time a nationalist revolution by Greek Christians. He was promised rule over Crete, Cyprus, and the Morea (the modern Peloponnese) for his services.[1] His son, Ibrahim Pasha, won quick victories at the head of a conscript army and controlled nearly the entire Peloponnesian peninsula within 10 months of his arrival in February 1825.[2] The Greeks continued guerrilla operations however, and by September of 1827 public opinion in Russia, Britain, and France forced the great powers to intervene in favour of the Greeks.[2] The joint British-Russian-French fleet destroyed Mehmed Ali’s fleet that October at the Battle of Navarino, and Ibrahim’s forces were expelled from the Morea a year later following the arrival of a French expeditionary force and a settlement negotiated by the European powers.[3] Once Ibrahim and his forces returned from Greece, preparations to wrest control of Syria began in earnest.[3]
Invasion of Syria
The governor of Acre, Abdullah Pasha ibn Ali was harboring fugitives of the Egyptian draft, and was said to have refused a request to contribute towards Muhammad Ali’s war effort.[1] With these insults as pretext, land and sea forces under the command of Ibrahim Pasha were sent north to besiege Acre in October of 1831.[1] The city fell to Ibrahim’s army six months later in May of 1832. After Acre he continued on to win control of Aleppo, Homs, Beirut, Sidon, Tripoli, and Damascus;[4] the armies sent by the Sultan and various local governors were unable to check Ibrahim's forces.[5]
The then-ongoing Tanzimat reforms of Mahmud II had experienced significant difficulties in adopting the innovative military methods of conscription and mass drill then being implemented in European armies, but Mehmed Ali had managed to adopt both.[1][3] Ibrahim’s overwhelming success cannot be attributed only to modern organization however. His officers had significantly more experience than their Ottoman counterparts, having borne the brunt of fighting in the Empire’s two most recent major wars against the Wahhabi and Greek rebellions, and he attracted significant local support to his cause by calling his campaign one for "liberation from the Turkish yoke."[3] With the provinces of Greater Syria under his control, the Egyptian army continued their campaign into Anatolia in late 1832.[6]
The Battle of Konya
On 21 November 1832, the Egyptian forces occupied the city of Konya in central Anatolia, within striking distance of the imperial capital of Constantinople.[6] The Sultan organized a new army of 80,000 men under Reshid Mehmed Pasha,[6] the Grand Vizier, in a last-ditch attempt to block Ibrahim's advance towards the capital. While Ibrahim commanded a force of 50,000 men, most of them were spread out along his supply lines from Cairo, and he had only 15,000 in Konya.[6] Nevertheless, when the armies met on December 21, Ibrahim's forces won in a rout, capturing the Grand Vizier after he became lost in fog attempting to rally the collapsing left flank of his forces.[1][6] The Egyptians suffered only 792 casualties, compared to the Ottoman army's 3,000 dead, and they captured 46 of the 100 guns with which the army had left Istanbul.[6] The stunning victory at Konya would be the final and most impressive victory of the Egyptian campaign against the Sublime Porte, and would represent the high point of Muhammad Ali's power in the region.[1]
Aftermath
Territory controlled by Muhammad Ali of Egypt following the peace settlement with Mahmud II in 1833.
Though no military forces remained between Ibrahim’s army and Istanbul, severe winter weather forced him to make camp at Konya long enough for the Sublime Porte to conclude an alliance with Russia, and for Russian forces to arrive in Anatolia, blocking his route to the capital.[4] The arrival of a European power would prove to be too great a challenge for Ibrahim’s army to overcome. Wary of Moscow’s expanding influence in the Ottoman Empire and its potential to upset the balance of power, French and British pressure forced Muhammad Ali and Ibrahim to agree to the Convention of Kütahya.
we invaded greece and we nearly killed the ottoman empire but the british + french + russians came to save them.
Good we are with you Ethopia 💖Djibouti💖eriteria 💖Somalia great horn power :)
Egypt should start drinking sand 😂
adaptation? lol
هههههه والله نفشخ اثيوبيا و اللي يشددلها

لن نعطش ابدا وبردو مصر مش هتقع وموتوا بغيظكم 😂
I am with Egypt. Egypt had a good water source and if Ethiopia stops the water from reaching Egypt, then Egypt will not get as much water. Egypt will lose 90% of it's water like that. Egypt has the right to defend their country
Then we also have the right to defend our water
Egypt cannot tell another country what it's best for that country.The Niles river do not belongs to Egypt.
so ethiopia should built the dam and take 50% of egypt's water supply right? freaking biased idiot.
@@knightinthemoon2416 but you contribuit nothing to the River and You want more than the country thats Is the mail source??
#WakandaForEver. Ethiopia.
I am being instigator but maybe 1 child policy could be solution? Almost 100 million people and growing. Egypt can not exist as it has been with or with out the dam.
arda yıldırım same with alot of countries, theres to many people and its just going to get worse everywhere on earth
arda yıldırım one is a little extreme. Look at what happened in China with so many females being aborted. Arabs will once again burying or aborting daughters. With 2 children per parent alone is enough over time to depopulate any country. I could tell you the reason Turkey is growing is not because of Turkish people but of that particular ethnic group in the southeast
Definitely I wrote as a joke birth control is a basic right and it is good way to control birth rates. Egypt time to time discouraged birth control and few people use it. In turkey not Kurds have more children not because of their culture socio economic disparity because birth control is not well introduced in east part of the country. If you afraid that you can not water the crops you will not want to have 5 children.
Ethiopia has a bigger population than Egypt!!! Ethiopia's population is more than 117,000,000 people!!! tell that to them!!!
@@hoverbasic9674 Ethiopia will be flooded in water and food. Eithiopia have no poulatio problem. Egypt is about to have a dry NIle.
Water the new oil only more powerful, it's LIFE!
All people need water 💦!
Abdigani Aden your a idiot mankind has survived without oil for thousands of years thanks to the white man we can't go back to surviving without it because they've killed most of the wildlife that we could survive on.
Sam Ting Wong so funny how 10 years ago Ethiopia started negotiations about water & no1 paid attention until the Dam is literally filling up with water. Now South Africa, Australia, Qatar & desert like climates are now looking into Ethiopia. Western water conservationist are writing books in water wars. The West is a mess, all these oil conflicts for 20 years has blinded their judges
Arabs, chase oil
Africans chase water,
Africans sell blue gold and buy oil. Arabs sell their black gold and beg for water.
@@hernandayolearyallda arabs get water from the sea.
Do not fear that you will not loss water supply, but you should conserve the upper Nile stream by planting different flora.
Emishaw Getaneh
There's nothing for Ethiopia to fear the US has a mutual defense treaty with Ethiopia and African Americans will demand retaliation! The water belongs to Ethiopia!
Bobob African Americans and Ethiopians is like comparing Arabs to whites even though they are both white and black. AA should be concerned about the West Africans and Bantu people
The water is belongs to Ethiopian if we want we can divert it
well Ethiopia is landlocked Egypt is not
Asmine Mode Well Ethiopia got lots of Water and Egypt is just a desert surviving on Ethiopians river water.
I love the ocean well they did invade eygpt
abuaimen28 Israel and Africa are on the same side excluding Arab converts.
Don't judge the book by its cover, it might be desert, but is has more water (The Nubian Aquifer) than you think. Also with desalination plants the seawater is endless water source.
Asmine Mode, yes it is true Ethiopia is landlocked but infortunatly for you and fortunatly for us Ethiopians Ethiopia won't remain landlocked forever and will get its own sea access, its own coastline and its own ports in few decades !

We (Ethiopia) has the right to use our resources
Do it Ethiopia ✌👍
False concerns. Egypt should stop growing sugarcane and rice. At the same time they should implement modern irrigation practices such as sprinkle or drip irrigation.
Ahmed Common, do you know who the poor is? The poor is the one who doesn't produce new ideas. Egyptians always uproar that Nile is their only source of water but they waste it. We advise them to use it wisely. We Ethiopians have already made history once again. GERD IS A REALITY. NO ONE UNDER THE SUN CAN CHANGE THIS.
Ahmed Money???????
Ahmed I think Egypt could afford it. They can get a loan and put pressure on privately owned wealthy corporations to do it as well
Ahmed Egypt has been using Nile for thousands of years with no modern practices. Egypt has a very dry climate but they grow sugarcane and rice which wastes a lot of water. They practice flooded agriculture which wastes a lot of water by evaporation. They built Aswan dam in an open desert and they waste again too much water. So they need to use water responsibly like Israel. The GERD is usful to all of us.
If controlling the floods of the Nile by using a dam is not a good idea, then why do the Egyptians have there own dam to do just that.
I am expecting some dam puns. Quick, give me one!
I love you ethiopia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤mamyeeee
B1
All should agree on mutual benefit and there is a way to do that. But warmongering won't help alleviate the situation. Ethiopia has been poor for long and now things are changing. There must have been something that should be done when 70 percent of the population don't have access to electricity.
It only belongs to ethiopia and sudan
Water for everyone
Lov Ethiopia. Lov ethiopin
I am from Sudan I stand with Ethiopian
Let us unite with great intentions
We all benefit make the best out of
It for generations to come
It's our right to change our ethiopia. We say nothing when egypt building the Aswan bridge. Why not ethiopians lol. Viva ethiopian. Time for ethiopia
the aswan dam is not as big as the ethiopian one and it shares a border on lake so it won't steal water from others.
Egypt needs to start a family planning program.
The whole of Muslim N Africa need family planning.
They have huge populations and no industry or work.
All that extra population growth heads to Europe.
Why not use a condom ?
Βικεντιος, I'm not sure population growth is good.
Education is good and technical development is good.
Having libraries and honest government is good.
Having an independent uncorrupted judiciary and police is good.
Indonesian Pride, good point. Touché'.
Everyone has a right to raise a family.
And statistics show that as nations develop and the people
become educated and skilled they naturally have fewer children.
In fact Western countries have to encourage people to have children.

vinm300 that's not really the case for Egypt, Egypt is somewhat well enough so that the people don't have to move, and they have some plans to relocate people a ways from Cairo.
vinm300 the one you are complaining about are Syrian, Iraquis, afghans and subsaharans. The syrian and Iraqui is europes fault, they wer pretty good before the civil wars, afghan was ruined by the soviets(Russians), sub-saharans are the problem, very few cpuntries seem to show progress.
Slave, interesting reply.
I didn't know about the plans to relocate people out of Cairo.
I think I read somewhere that the habitable land in Egypt is about
the size of Belgium.
When the dams are full the rivers will flow again so what's the panic ? My only beef is why this wasn't done decades ago .
So Egypt NEVER considered the Ethiopian opinion/perspective and never consulted the government while they wanted to build several projects in their own country affecting the river and now all of a sudden Ethiopia is supposed to care about what Egyptians want on their very own FIRST project? Please🙄🙄🙄 let Ethiopia use the resources she has to help her own people because it’s her right🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 Egyptians , as clearly states SEVERAL times, will not be loosing water
ohhh this water only belongs to ethiopians and other countries thar belive in mutual benefit but for Egyptians may be........
No mention of Egypt's unattainable share of the waters of Abbay going forward.
No mention of Ethiopia's population is actually higher than that of Egypt's
No mention of Ethiopia is landlocked and Egypt can do future desalination of sea water.
No mention of Ethiopia's dire poverty in most cases as a direct result of Egypt's actions.
From Ethiopia ✌✌✌✌❤❤❤💓💓💓
Go Ethiopia
This is MY Nile
And all the Ethiopian Nile dam
70% don't have electricity. That stat can't be true
People, try learn to share! Development must be made, but the profits must be shared fairly, to create a win win situation, but not conflicts. When China build hydropower plants in a river, we always give a part of electricity away to the neighbors to cover their lost. It's the right thing to do, and it's good for both sides by long-term. We are living on a small rock in the universe, don't let a border to stop you do what is right.
about time afrikans utilized their God given natural resources themselves.
This is what the wars in the future will be about: Water.
Support Ethiopia 💯🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
U know Etheopia should sell Battery's too they can use the electricity to sell batteries for flash light make like a trillion off that
I mss you Ethiopia 💚💛❤ 💋💋💋💋💋
Will climit change affect the rains in Sudan? More or less water? More is great for all but if the rains slow down them all will suffer.
Options for Egypt
option 1 : start building huge underground water reservoir to conserve precious water and adopt smarter irrigation techniques
option 2 : armed conflict aka war (not a good idea)
capespring,
Look up Nubian Aquifer:

Egyptian needs family planning that water is no longer belongs to them.Ethiopian has to be fair the use of that river...we need our brothers and sisters in Egypt.
Egyptian they feel griddy
I' wish my mama Ethiopia prosperity
Egypt cannot realistically support that many people in the future
🇪🇹🤙🏽
Egypt has been manipulating the UN and the US to force Ethiopia not to build the dam for many years. Finally it is time for Ethiopia to utilize their own resources and use their water to benefit themselves🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
Dear Coptic brothers and sisters in Egypt,
2010 years ago today, Our lord and savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of the Virgin Mary had risen from the dead victoriously. Glory be to God the creator of Heaven and Earth and all the creatures within them.
Happy Easter.
Know that there will not be any harm coming to you from Ethiopians.
Ethiopians are proud people. We will not bow down to any Neocolonialists rulers that want to impose any colonial rules as well.
May God be with us all.
Egypt go and control petrol in saudi
Ethiopia 🇪🇹 is the most powerful 💪🏼country in esti Africa so Egypt 🇪🇬 can not do anything
Easy- D wow why are you saying that *gets knife to kill him*
Lol we're in north Africa, and we're still stronger your military rank is weak
Egypt has Mediterranean Sea why can't it not pump water from there and use it gone are those days
Good Work Etheopia I'm moving there...They should of been smarter Africa need that and if they not African then why they wana hold up progression like we all need that we got water for days we not taking no shorts
Doesn't look good for Egypt. With their population still rising, the road ahead will be very bumpy ahead for dictator al Sisi.
Well time to give Somalia it's land back. And to other neighboring countries.

Ethiopian water resources belong to Ethiopia. Egypt must either pay for it one way or another , or else, find other means to harvest water.
no ethiopia does not own it so they can't build a dam because it will take much of north africa's water supply.
Keep it and drown
Egypt gave to Ethiopia Christianity & Ethiopia gave Egypt the Blue Nile
Dam it!
tears in the South ✚ tears in the North 😂 😂 😂
It is very funny how Al-Jazeera is taking side very dishonestly for Egypt in this Ethiopian dam issue! Maybe Al-Jazeera is taking side for Egypt in this Ethiopian dam issue to "thank" Egypt for jailing and having jailed many of its journalists!
Egypt should work with ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹!! Instead of plotting some evil scheme to do harm. Egypt will suffer for any bad deeds that seek to destroy progress.
egypt doing bad deeds? LOL so protecting it's own share of the river's water supply is something bad?
go go ethiopia use your own river abbaiy(blue nile)
Egypt and Nile or Nile and Egypt is OVER !
Nope you're wrong! Just wait, we got it under control
why dont Egypt divert the nile water along the banks of nile before nile reaches red sea and utilize instead of whinning about Ethiopia dam????
Nile water is going to Medeterian sea wothout being utilized to the full capacity.
Not about dam, it is about power!
Already on it 😊
WARS!!

Goodjob ethiopa
Should our nily water Egypt still Antilles know but time is Ethiopia
At $5b they could have build solar or wind farm.
Pikachu Pakau Ethiopian needs water bc of the climate change the country is becoming desert and people are dying cuz of drought
No of your Business Indian you worry about India and all the human feces laying around !
we are the father of nile(abay)
If Ethiopia was included in the water treaty would Egypt still relay in a huge amount as they do now? Ethiopia will rise and no one can do much about it
This spells WAR
They have lost already.
Sasha Feirs Who have lost Ethiopia or Egypt!
I support Ethiopia 🇪🇹!
Always support ETHIOPIA!!!! the head line says Egypt fears loosing to Ethiopia and I said they already lost because Ethiopia will never stop building the dam and no one is going to stop them.
Stay away from our politics, religions and people of ethiopia. Egypt had been manipulated for 1000 years, they were mentoring and ceasing our poor people 10 centuries. History will explain what u done to our people. In the 50s, Egypt, England signed treaty who will be using the Nile river without ethiopia consent. This modern ethiopia and we r not falling for bs. U will pay big price, if Egypt start this war against Ethiopian; not from the this people but from God above.

Sell out to Africans Somalia Arab wanna be
Unprofessional presentation. If the world is peaceful you got no job that's what worries you .! ?
Everyone is entitled to water regardless of your skin color by cutting water for your neighbors with a strong army does not seem sensible to me. 1 air attack and it's done with the dam.
And what, Create a Flood in Sudan, thus creating a Second Enemy for Egypt? Smart Foreign Policy you got there.
Egypt has a weak army, paper tiger, planes that are not maintained, and half don't fly. The air force operators don't even know how to fly the plane. North African Armies are paper tiger, just like libya. Strong on paper but soldiers don't even have bullets for their guns.

We Ethiopians don't Care at all.
Build the dam and let Egyptians pay for it😆

Arabs must go out of Europe and Africa! ✌🏿 The Egyptians are all coming for money I know this. And maybe because their president is a dictator Abdel Fattah Al Sisi! But there is not war. In Syria is war not in Egypt or Morocco! Egypt and Morocco are the countries of rapes! I will never visit Israel, Egypt and Morocco! Peace and love to black Africa and Europe
Cairo is a dirty city!

Israel is afraid of us. We have other stronger nations also behind us
GO ETHIOPIA NEVER STOP EGYPTIANS CAN DRINK COCA COLA.....
One solution is to liberalize and proliferate nuclear power to all.
The have done so with the river shabelle that starts in Ethiopia and goes through somalia, the water on the somalia s side is gone most of the time and when there is water its salty. Don't trust these Ethiopians.
Exactly! Somalians are supporting Egypt. Not many people like Ethiopians
The Nile doesn't not belong to Ethiopia, they should think carefully about that, without the Nile Egypt would not exist, exploit the Nile without taking into consideration what could happened to the people of Egypt and their land must be considered criminal and Egypt should declare war on Ethiopia if they intend to modify the flow of the Nile one way or another.
Iloveitstreet we (Ethiopians) have every right, even more, to the Nile. Remember, the water is generated from our land, and it’s impossible for us not to use it for either irrigation or development purposes. The only solution for this problem is a win-win proposal for these two nations.
orsmane barry
ethiopia has been trying that for decades and decades. It was a matter of time until we took what belonged to us. Why don't you egyptians think of a way to pay for more water access? Maybe you can trade oil for water
