- Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan have agreed to resume talks over a disputed hydroelectric dam that Ethiopia is filling on the River Nile. Negotiations over the Grand Renaissance Dam have gone on for almost a decade. So why is it so difficult to settle this dispute over the waters of the Nile? Here's more.

its about dam time
Very nice sir
I see what you did there,,,
oh my gerd
You beat me to it!
*You're dam right 💪🏽🇪🇬*
The guest here avoided going into the 1929 and 1959 agreements, which is what Ethiopia is referring to as colonial-era agreements. It is an objective fact that those treaties have no jurisdiction over Ethiopia, but Egypt insists that they do. That's the root of the problem. Citing "historic rights" as Egypt often does, is a non-starter. Why would you be expected to negotiate in the spirit of sharing if you think you already have a hegemonic claim?
I waited to hear that --- but nothing
You are the best Levar! I have seen you defend Ethiopias' right to fill the dam on dozens of videos. Your love for Ethiopia is admirable! God bless you!
@@DWEthiopia
U should love ur country , but u should also consider the needs of ur downstream neighbours who have been receiving god given natural share of Nile water for thousands of years during which lives and communities developed along the Nile and depend totally on it dor existence. It is unbelievable and aunacceptable to threaten their share of Nile water .
I think u have to think deeply of ur neighbours in Egypt ans Sudan
@@mohdmagdi1 what if God changed his mind? Nothing stays the same specially when it is not fair, it's 2020
@@mohdmagdi1 It's not like Ethiopia will not let the water continue to flow to Sudan and Egypt. Al Sisi is brainwashing his people making it look like they will die of hunger and thirst.
If Egyptians are so concerned with their water supply, then maybe they ought to build more water desalination plants instead of a flashy new capital city for the president and his rich buddies to hang out at.
unfortunatley they got a clown president not a Man
there is no alternative for Nile water!
water desalination plants for a country of 100m country and their agriculture, sound not logical!
@@shady999100 the new capital is estimated to cost $10 billion. I'm sure that if just half of it was spent on desalination plants the country would have no water problems whatsoever.
@@user-hl7bw8yw7n
the problem isn't solved that way, with the same logic(which is not excepted) i can tell you:
"why not to use other means of generating electricity like wind turbines, solar energy or thermal energy, they have nine rivers why don't they build this huge dam with it's huge reservoir on another one."
Further more, Ethiopia has about 124.4 billion cubic meter (BCM) river water, 70 BCM lake water, and 30 BCM groundwater.
total 224.4 BCM (nine major rivers and twelve big lakes)
,compare to Egypt which has about 55.50 billion cubic meter (BCM) river water, 0 BCM lake water, and 9.6 BCM groundwater. total 65.1 BCM (only one river, and we have already water scarcity, 85% of water in Egypt is from the blue Nile, 90% of the water used in Egypt is from the Nile.)
let me give you deeper insight, we live over each other in the capital Cairo( Literally) and the infrastructure of the city is Worn out moreover we are increasing in population and we had been expanding for years in Nile banks which caused some green agricultural areas to disappear, so building new city is not luxury thing its a need, and don't you think we have a right for development too?!
water desalination is not efficient in our case(alternative to Nile water and for country of 100m)
It won't be a problem if both the countries understand each other and cooperated, Ethiopia has the right to develop itself , enjoy welfare and prosper (although the dam is just a small step in this road) but without harming their neighbors.
I understand that Abay means a lot for Ethiopians but the Nile mean a lot for Egyptians too(and its the only river we have), my biggest fear in this matter that i wake up one day and find no water and green land drought because someone decided to build a Stopcock valve without any agreement or arrangement for my water share!
@Tired doctor
That depend on how will they use the dam. if it's really for electricity as they say ( that won't be a big problem), or they will used it for other purposes(which is their right as long as they won't harm us).
have a look over their huge livestock water consumption. if they used dam's water for agriculture and livestock without any agreement or arrangementm, yes the Nile water is going to be cut off, and even worth imagine the drought years what make you grant that they will let an acceptable flow rate of water pass through dam gates without any agreement or arrangement?!
by the way Ethiopia doesn't respect its word , they said officially from about nearly 2 months in front of the African union they won't start filling the dam before reaching an agreement but they filled the first phase from days.
so how can we believe what they say?
and they want to fill the 74 billion reservoir in short period like three years do you know what does this mean for Egypt???
Again desalination thing is not alternative for our share in Nile water, and Egypt is already building water desalination plants BUT IT'S NEVER ALTERNATIVE FOR NILE WATER.
Desalinated water typically costs about $2,000 an acre foot - roughly the amount of water a family of five uses in a year, Do you know how expensive this is???!
"Egypt has the largest amount of aquifers in the world beneath their feet"
Seriously from where did you get this, do you have a reliable source and how much underground water do you think???
I'm Ethiopian & went to High School in U.S.A and we were learning about the Nile river and I was excited to hear about the name of my country then, to my surprize the book & and the teacher had just mentioned Egypt instead, as if the origins of the river was there. I remember how disappointed I was. It is about time. I'm so happy & thankful to see the Ethiopian Renaissance Dam being built & near completion during my lifetime.
The time has come
💪🏾🇪🇹
Sista dont worry we will finish the dam its like the number one priority here
I have an idea. For every life lost due to the inevitable drought that will happen due to this nile, Ethiopia compensates Sudan and Egypt. Fair enough, right?
The next books and teachers will mention and give recognition to Ethiopia, as the origin of Abay thanks to GRDE
Notice how the Western media never has an Ethiopian national to speak for their position 🤔
i wonder WHY
You know the West mostly supports Ethiopia right? And stop being blind there is plenty of interviews and debates with Ethiopians on TH-cam.
Does it matter whether a western journalist gets the Ethiopian view or not? I don't think so. The GERD is a unique project. It is perhaps the most democratic and participatory project in the history of the African continent. It is a giant project, it an Ethiopian government project, it is not funded by foreign donors. It is the project owned and financially underwritten by the poor Ethiopian people who were snubbed by all international lender who did not want to anger some perceived more powerful and worthy country with whom the Ethiopian seek to fairly benefit from a water resource they share. But against all odds they poor people who determined to lift themselves out of darkness are on the verge of success. Now that is a unique story. Better that you Ethiopians tell your story.
@@TugaThings THE WEST SUPPORTS EGYPT. Ethiopia said no and brought the talks to AU.
Michael Ssentongo not gonna lie man. I love your posts. You always hit the nail on the head man /salute to Michael Ssentongo. As long as a western journalist mentions all the relevant points and viewpoints that an Ethiopian would, I don’t mind. You do a great job of it. But sometimes when they put a western person to give the Ethiopian view, they leave out crucial arguments which an Ethiopian or a person like you wouldn’t leave out. As long as they do it right, portraying Ethiopia’s viewpoint, I don’t mind.

@@honorehodary511 ok, it's not about Egypt as much as its about Sudan. My brother that's a river that stretches through countries.
Sidenote: got an impression most Africans have a prejudice about Egypt, why though
@@tshiamishogopane633 That's not true. I do not have any prejudice against Egypt or Sudan. African countries stood with Egypt when it had an open war with Israel 🇮🇱. Many countries severed their diplomatic ties with Israel because of Egypt. Read your history, my brother. It's all about fairness. I am not against Egypt as a country. However, I oppose the fact that Egypt and Sudan want to monopolize the Nile water. Egypt invests approximately 20% of its budget in defense spending every year. Can't they use that money to build desalination plants to lessen their dependence on the Nile water and give other countries a chance to use the water for their development projects?
If Egypt wants access to water during a drought, it sounds like they need to build a dam or two of their own.
They have one. Aswan.
pmjd42 Yeah, I checked it out. They also built a canal that moves water from Lake Nasser to the Toshka Lakes when the lake is above a certain level. If the Toshka Lakes are indeed a confirmed aquifer recharge area Egypt should build a pipeline in addition to the canal. Storing water underground is infinitely better than storing it in a lake.
I mean the river does not start in Egypt
You got that wrong. Egypt has been in drought for years and they need to start birth control like China did. Ethiopia has a right to build dams on her rivers.
As arabs that's better than making unreasonable demand on indigenous Africans!

I am really disappointed with all the comments I read here. Nobody has said that Egypt is against Ethiopia. I also don't really understand why all African countries here are doing alliance against Egypt. Come down from your throne. It is not about "who is the better African country", but rather how we can strengthen Africa as a continent. In case you have forgotten - Egypt is also an African country. And the Nile has been flowing through Sudan and Egypt for centuries and has created a high level of dependence for the Sudanese and Egyptian people. Don't understand why you want to ruin the two countries for your own triumph, when you already know that the countries will not survive without the Nile? How can you be so selfish, I wonder? Think away from politics and don't talk here about Al Sisi or whatever - rather think of all the poor families there and simply consider them as inhabitants of the earth who want to survive. With the dam you are changing nature and killing families and therefore you will never be respected by anyone in the world
Why the world worry about Egypt drought ? What's about Ethiopia ?
@徐哈哈 thanks.
@Ahmed remember the 1977 drought in Ethiopia, what did Egypt done to help, yeah not going to happen again
This is a great for Ethiopia specifically and Africa in general. We need more infrastructure investments like this to boost African economies.
Yes; its Africa's turn to finally rise
@PigeRævehale "Race" lol. The whole race needs to be spoon fed? Africa is as diverse as Europe with many different tribes, ethnic groups, etc, etc. You saw a thing or two on TV and now you think the whole continent is starving 😂. This is not the case love. Stay safe. Stay healthy. 👍
Yea . Finally same country in Africa does what all West countries has done for long since. . I came from country which have alots of dams. they are very good for the country economy in anyway. also there always been flow from the dam . it just takes time to fill up the dam lake. you can fish in the lake dam.
Eygpt has Allah. so they are coverted.
PigeRævehale Well, you sure are the South side of a horse going North. Since you obviously don’t use a spoon to feed yourself how do you eat things from a bowl our things like peas, rice, mashed or baked potatoes, etc.? Do you lap up soup like a dog or pour it into your mouth? Think about everything you use a spoon or ladle for. I hope, if you have children, you did not spoon feed them. Genetic research has proven that there are no genetically distinct races because we are ALL the only surviving race or species of upright walkers. Svante Paabo is one of the leading genetic researchers. I am assuming the region of Europe you are from. There is a video on TH-cam from about a year ago where he informs about the latest findings from genetic research on skeletal remains and modern populations in parts of Eastern Europe. Seems the first Homo Sapiens to settle in the region had dark skin and blue eyes. All of them.
Yeah, but where has the money come from to build it?
I remember when I was a kid and my teacher said to my class that someday people would go to war not for oil, but for water. It's happening today.

Egypt and Sudan are desert and sand you cannot grow a damn thing on the sand you need fertilized soil so Nile was the provider in the past but now it won’t be the same that’s why they worried Ethiopians might keep the soil for themselves.

What kind of negotiation needed here ? Ethiopians are using their resources in their geographical area
Not if using those resources will have a serious detrimental effect on downstream countries. It'd destroy lives in other countries. Ethiopia must "choose" to release water to those countries, placing those countries at Ethiopia's mercy.
@Jan-Ola Ellingsen War is never the answer, hopefully these nations can reach a peaceful agreement. Which is why negotiations are needed here.

What would have happened if the river rose in Egypt and was flowing to the other countries? That is why Ethiopia should never ever agree to sign anything that makes it Egypt's 21st century water colony and Egypt''s 21st century slaves out of the Ethiopians who plant the trees to ensure that rain continues to fall in the highlands.

@@shady999100 Does that not apply to oil, cotton and suez canal water?
It is not about the water. Egypt want economic supremacy in the region
The economic suprmacy is sought by the Egyptian army not Egyptian civil economic institution since the former has had full control of the state economy since late 70s.
No it's clearly also about the water, even if economic supremacy is likely a factor I'm sure the supply itself is a bigger concern. They use as much water as Sudan per captia and they're only 2x their total withdrawal. And IIRC their supply is going to be halved. It's difficult.
They're gonna have to reduce their water consumption soo much and adopt more water preserving irrigation. Easy to say that that's a good idea because freshwater is such a limited supply in the region. But it's also costly to society. And even assuming there weren't any disruption in the supply, having other countries control a large portion of your water supply is also a very big national security concern.
So they're right to be concerned. Ideally there would be an agreement. It's not a simple issue with a clear side unless you're biased towards some principle or country.
@@0xCAFEF00D Egypt needs to change its attitude towards Africans. For long time Egypt considered Africans too simple and can easily be scared away from using water. We in Sudan had disasterous arrangements with Egyptian previous governments, in 50s, cost us dearly. Egypt is struggling to come to terms with this African awareness and efforts to get their share of their waters.
It seems to me that Egypt is in a dead end. As other African countries grow in population and agricultural development they will, inevitably, require more water and there are too many countries up in the Nile to Egypt deal with all of them.

Once the dam is filled, hopefully without too much disruption downstream, what water is then stored in Ethiopia belongs to Ethiopia surely. Let Egypt use the water in Aswan as its own drought relief measures.

@@nathanielsolomon8608 wet dreams yes :)
Wanna bet?
I think you forgot about Ethiopian history asking you grand father 🤐
She failed to mention how Egypt proposing a binding agreement with a fixed quota could undermine Ethiopia. Egypt proposed no less than 40 bcm annually and a filling period of 12 - 21 years, to keep Lake Nasser above 165 meters. Egypt has no intention as far as I know of doing their part to mitigate possible drought by using some of the water at Lake Nasser. They want to place the burden squarely upon Ethiopia's shoulders and make the GERD a contractually obligated function of the High Aswan Dam. Also, guaranteeing Egypt 40 bcm a year might be impossible because in dry years the Blue Nile flow can get as low as 29 bcm. So, that would leave Ethiopia with little to nothing. Add to the the duration of filling that Egypt wants and not only would the water in reservoir drop, it will never fill to capacity. That would make it inefficient. Ethiopia, in that scenario, would be unable to meet the needs of the country, and they would lose money. This is why Ethiopia is asking for a flexible agreement, one that takes into account the climatic changes. Some years might be wet, others dry, etc. Ethiopia wants an agreement that can adapt to those changes. They also want to avoid a binding agreement that would obligate them to the same restrictions of the 1929 and 1959 treaties, which would be a surrender of their sovereignty.
All the things that you mention can be negotiated except that the agreement needs to be binding. Simply said, as much as Ethiopian plans and ambitions are respected, there is no trust that anything that is not specified will be done in good faith and the proof is in the last few years. Time period, share from the water, etc are all things that need to be outlined but any breach needs to be called out and there needs to be mechanisms in place to ensure both sides respect the agreements; I think that is logical
@kamil suleiman I agree with you that there are definitely efforts to be made and my understanding is that these are being worked on as we speak. Can you please point me to one dishonest action throughout this whole process that would make you say that our government cannot be trusted?
If there is an agreement if that kind, it would be a start but Ethiopia is opposed to ANYTHING binding which speaks volumes of their intentions.
I think you would be hard pressed to find an example like the filling of the dam despite agreements and being actively involved in "negotiations". Also, I absolutely resent you using a racist narrative in here; there is no place for that here please.
It's basically not our problem
You want to build a dam that will reduce water in Egypt and want us to handle the consequences of your actions ? Doesn't sound fair A binding agreement seems fair to me so each country gets its own share and it's not your business how we farm not like Ethiopia has more advanced ways
Your saying Egyptians are selfish and don't care about Ethiopian people ? But have you considered what filling the dam too fast can do to Egypt ?,
It will cause a drought a massive one that can be avioded and Ethiopia has no other choice both the in and the African Union said to reach a BINDING agreement if Ethiopia refuses we will have the right to take down the dam
@kamil suleiman becuase it littearly is
If you don't comply to any of the UN's or the African unions demands wich is to find a binding deal we simply have the right to destroy the dam and don't forget that Germany was watching so y'all can't lie about anything
@K Boketsu nope there needs to be an equitable agreement and the water needs to be shared equitably. Anything other than that will not be acceptable and will likely not end well.
Don't worry, Uganda 🇺🇬 and South Sudan 🇸🇸 are planning their dams too.
Egypt has already agreed a deal with Uganda, and without egypt south sudan would collapse
@@zeyadashraf6396 Ethiopia is gald to help.
Go on Africa
@K Boketsu You call him doughnut even when you know less than him. For your information. If you are damming up water, you will get a lake before the dam. And this lake will loose water because of water vaporization and the energy from the sun and the surface of the lake. As a result, depending of the surface of this lake, you will have less water leaving the dam than on the same river before the dam was build. This makes the points of Egypt valid. But on the otherside this dam and its powerplant will enourmesly improve life quality in Ethopia. So building the dam is correct, but they will need to find a solution in the event of drought.
OpenGL4ever couldn’t that just build a dam that lifts its self up to were if a drought happens the dam would not be a problem

Egypt looks like it is farming in the same style as they did a thousand years ago, they need to get with the program and farm much more efficently.
It's not farming that bothers them the most.. it's the fresh water
Yhea basically Egypt isn’t looking into that, they could look into drip irrigation, vertical farming, desalination, building more dams in Eygpt etc but they are not. Ethiopia doesn’t currently make use of the water sufficiently for farming, hydro power etc and they should. And using 16.88% ( 13 million out of 77 million cubic meters of water) of the annual water flow to fill the dam during the rainy season is not hurting Egypt or Sudan. Ethiopia has repeatedly stressed they will continue to share the water in a cooperative way while Egypt and Sudan walk out of or do not attend scheduled negotiations. Maybe Egypt and Sudan should diversify their water resources and come to the negotiating table vs whining to historical colonial European powers for rights to a water supply they share and do not own.

@@sysnsua.2919Exactly. Egypt has to pay for the water
The Blue Nile has had Zero years of drought in the last 50 years that I could find data for. The White Nile has had drought, but should Ethiopia be responsible for Kenyan Dry spells? Besides Egypt has 2 YEARS of total Nile River flow, in storage, in Lake Nasser. Talk about "want your Cake and to eat it too!"
Wilson, Egyptians have not been negotiating in good faith. They essentially see themselves as a Military power which goes to the table to make its demands known and also give ultimatums that must be accepted by Ethiopia or risk military attack and destruction. Egypt's goal appears to be manipulating the GERD issue into a vehicle to revitalise the colonial era Nile river agreements that made it the only beneficiary. First, Egypt made it appear like the very idea of the GERD threatens their existence. They tried to stop it altogether. When they failed, they resorted to other measures like making it economically useless to the Ethiopians who are investing their own money. Other wise how can a 20year filling period as originally demanded by Egypt make sense even to themselves? Egypt wants Ethiopia to sign a binging agreement regarding the GERD and future projects on the Blue Nile but says its 'historical rights and water share' cannot be part of the discussion. And Egypt now wants the GERD to be first and foremost as a secondary reservoir for their Aswan High Dam , apparently during droughts, even if Ethiopia is not able to generate any electricity for having to be this! And Egypt which in 2011 turned down an invitation to be investment partner in the GERD now wants a near controlling management role in an Ethiopian project! Which country can ever be expected to accept such demands even at the point of a sword? Now some questions also need to be answered. Aswan High Dam's Lake Nasser is over twice the volume of the GERD reservoir. AHD was filled in six short years (1970-1976). Did Egypt cease to exist or did it go into hibernation during the six years? There is also the issue of drought being brought . Did droughts happen in the Nile Valley before GERD? And how were they handled? This is almost a non-issue since continued power generation by the GERD even during droughts means that water will continue to hit the turbines and continue flowing down stream. Binding agreements about future projects on the Blue Nile as demanded by Egypt? Why should Ethiopians of today tie the hands of both future Egyptian and future Ethiopian generations and deny them a chance to come together and determine their issues which by the way may be quite different in the future? The British made that mistake on the one hand, Emperor Menelik did the same thing for Ethiopia.
@@michaelssentongo7189 the aswan high dam was filled in 12 years
@@zeyadashraf6396 Lake Nasser is still 3 times bigger than the supposed GERD reservoir. And more significantly has a water volume over twice Egypt's annual use. The problem is that Egyptians are not sincere in their stated issues. The driving aim is to have Ethiopia sign on to a treaty that gives legal form to the 1929 and 1959 treaties which are couched in phrases like 'without affecting our historical rights', 'our current shares', 'current use'. By these terms Egypt means the current arrangement where Sudan and itself allocate themselves 100% of the Nile water volume excluding all the other 9 riparian countries. Why should one need a long term binding agreement to feel a dam instead of an operating agreement specifically for the filling process. The issue of operating the GERD is different and should be part of a co-ordinated operating process integrating all dams and water projects in the Nile basin. Of course this would require a basin wide new universally acceptable legal frame work that ensure equitable , fair and reasonable sharing of the water privileges , but also the responsibilities tackling the problems that threaten the river itself. Can you imagine the governments of the countries where the rivers' waters rise telling their citizens to plant more trees, to stop cutting down the forests so that rain continues just to put water in the Nile for Egypt and Ethiopia's use? And telling their citizens that even if it means their own death, they can never touch the Nile waters to irrigate their crops even when the rains fail, to leave water for the well being of the Egyptians? That is the situation the Egyptians want. They just think that their lives are better and more worthy than the lives in all the other Nile riparian countries. It can't be that way, and the Egyptians fail to understand this at their own long term detriment.

The story is aimed for Egypt's powerful 'friends'. Not her poor, weak neighbors with whom, unfortunately for Egypt, their consensual cooperation and unified co-ordination is the only solution to the Nile basin water problems. for fart too long Egypt believed that it deserves everything in the Nile basin while its weaker neighbors deserved nothing. Egypt continues to believe this to its own detriment. Look at who Egypt thinks should have a big say in the matter - USA, Russia, China, France, the Arab League and lately England. England which is the source of the current problems in the first place! Why are the other Nile Basin countries - South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi not at the table during these negotiations. Kenya and Democratic Republic of the Congo are present in the AU led effort as mere observers! And for the Washington talks Egypt hoped and expected that Americans would draft a treaty over something they know nothing about and then give it to the parties to sign, bring it back to Africa so that it becomes binding for all the other Nile basin players! This is not to mention the folly of thinking that the problems facing the Nile basin can be cherry picked instead of addressing them by looking at , and involving the whole basin. The Nile River is a body system of various water sources and factors that have to be addressed holistically. Otherwise a bad outcome regarding the GERD is bound to lead to septic systemic problems.

After the reservoir behind the dam is filled and it can hold no more water must be released at the same rate if its historical flow. Ultimately there is no effect down stream. Cross border cooperation could result in filling the reservoir slowly so that adequate water is sent downstream while the reservoir is filled over a period of ten years or so. It is called cooperation, communication and working together for the good of all.
If they fill the reserviour very slowly, the impact down stream should not be too great. They must take the needs of the folks down stream into account, particulary if their is a drought.

It's a power dam, you have to release water to make power, it's just that simple. It's not the only supply of the Nile either.
Seems to me war is likely inevitable. It just takes desperate circumstances when there is not enough resources for everyone. This is more likely to occur with a dam than without because the increased evaporation from dams mean less total flow over the long term.
