Well as an Egyptian, I understand the Ethiopians' point of view, And I hope Ethiopia can advance it's economy. All African nations, I really do. It's not like we have anything against Ethiopians, And I hate how heated and enraged the discussions often get. It's the eternal problem of our human condition really, There are so many of us with all our differences and we need to share the finite resources of our planet. But the problem is that we haven't seen mere willingness to negotiate let alone to offer any concessions from the Ethiopian government. And I don't think most understand what the Nile is to Egypt. The Nile isn't just important to Egypt, Egypt IS the Nile. We owe our very existence to the thin blue line and it's green banks running in the middle of the Sahara desert, Since the first recorded settlement of ancient Egyptians from millennia. Look at satellite images of night urban lights of Egypt and you'll understand what I mean. We've never been ones to solve our conflict with military means, And I condemn any war mongers from either side because it's shameful. But what I fear is that the Nile is such a huge national security concern to the point that if Ethiopia keeps acting unilaterally, This could reach a point that even the most self-restraining government could be forced into a conflict, Which I believe is something that both our people would hate to see. Diplomacy is how two civilized nations should resolve their disputes. Peace & love to all.

I disagree, I doubt there will be a war over the Nile. 1. The upstream states, such as Kenya and Uganda, remain on friendly terms with Ethiopia. They are not affected by the dam and see no point in entering a needless conflict. An anti-Ethiopian coalition is an exaggeration. 2. The first three rounds of reservoir filling, caused little to no harm. In fact, floods in Sudan continued during the filling process. 3. Starting a war is easy but ending them can prove to be more challenging. Starting a war will also inevitably lead to sanctions and international isolation. Therefore Egypt and Sudan are unlikely to enter into a conflict, especially as international pressure would cause domestic instability. 4. Striking the dam is also out of question. Doing so will result in the release of 20 BCM of water, which would flush away Sudanese cities and compromise the structural integrity of the Aswan High Dam.

I think that fundamentally Egypt is not mainly worried about the time to fill the reservoir behind the dam. They have already agreed the filling time to be between 4 and 7 years depending on the rainy seasons. What worries Egypt though is once Ethiopia has built a dam of this magnitude on the Blue Nile, it won´t stop there. There will be of course more dams to come, not only for electricity production but also for irrigation. Ethiopia has an uncontested right to equitably utilize its natural resources without causing significant harm to downstream states. The equitable utilization of the Nile waters leads unequivocally to the equitably sharing of the Nile waters, which according to Egypt's understanding Sudan and Egypt are entitled to the utilization of the whole of the Nile waters. By sharing equitably the Nile Waters among all riparian states Egypt is going to lose its hydro hegemony on the Nile, meaning losing free drinks. That is the worry. However, the solution lies in finding a peaceful win-win resolution to the conflict, which opens the doors for cooperation and collaboration among all riparian states.

I live in Egypt. The main issue is not the dam in itself, but the rate of filling it up. Last year things were calm because of exceptional rains which allowed the fulfillment of the filling for 2021 without damaging water supplies down stream. However, the situation is different now. Egypt depends greatly on the Nile, Ethiopia doesn't. They apparently use less water pro capita, but only because they lack infrastructure, so the water pulled from local wells is not counted. Egypt may not directly wage war against Ethiopia, but it could arm the rebels if the Ethiopian government refuses to enter talks. A compromise is possible which will slightly hurt both sides, but which will bring benefits to future generations in all countries involved.

First, the caption "Is Ethiopia Stealing Egypt's Water?" is derogatory to Ethiopia. More than 90% of the water in the River Nile originates from Ethiopia and it is building the dam on its soil, which is not stealing. Second, the reservoir has already been filled with 22 billion cubic meters of water, which is capable of flooding the downstream countries if the dam is bombed. So the possibility of war on the GERD is nil.

I think it's worth emphasizing that the operation of the dam doesn't permanently reduce anybody's water supply. They just get less while the reservoir is filling.

A lot of times, dams are used to control and fill irrigation systems. So some of the water could be diverted into nearby farmland instead of being allowed to flow downstream. That's why the Colorado River is just a muddy little creek where it flows into the ocean, because California steals most of it through a giant pipe and uses it to water the San Joaquin Valley. Arizona isn't very happy about that one, either.

The Issue Ethiopia is looking to build a hydropower dam known as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. The dam is planned to be built on the Nile which is said to be disastrous for Egypt. An important fact to note, the Nile flows upwards (south to north). Why is the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam controversial? GERD (Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam) is being built on the Nile to generate cheap renewable electricity for Ethiopia. It's planned to be the biggest hydroelectric dam in Africa. However, due to its size, it will have a catastrophic effect on the Nile River. Ecology The dam will in no doubt stop the flow of water from the south to the north, by way of the massive reservoir that will be built for the dam. Resulting in the river running dry. This will have a huge catastrophic event in the countries up north such as Egypt as it'll result in the landscape becoming a barren desert. More so, neighboring countries surrounding Egypt as far away as Northen Europe will be affected (see bird migration below). Thousands of animals and plant species will be wiped out both endangered and common such as - Plants: Egyptian Cotton, Lotus plant (papyrus), Eucalyptus, Date palms, Opuntia (Prickly Pears), Markh, Acacia, Tamarisk, Animals: lizards (Too many to specify), Frogs (such as the Heqet), Nile crocodile (second largest extant reptile in the world), Egyptian jackal, Dorcas Gazelles, Jerboa - Lesser Egyptian jerboa - Greater Egyptian jerboa, Egyptian cobra (Naje haje), Egyptian vipers, Scorpions, Speckled snake, Hyrax, Caffre cat, Ichneumon (insect, not the medieval dragon), Egyptian mongoose, Buffalos, Hippopotamus, Neophron percnopterus, Many varieties of insects and rodents Egypt is also a major bird migrating location. The following is a quote from (voyagesphotosmanu, 2017) Egypt is rich in birdlife. Many birds pass through in large numbers on their spring and autumn migrations; in all, there are more than 200 migrating types to be seen, as well as more than 150 resident birds. This includes birds ranging from Flamingos to Eagles. Many of the birds migrating come from Europe. More so, the once lush green fields situated near the Nile will be no more. Which brings me to my next point.... Famine Millions of people live along the Nile, from those in Ethiopia to Egypt. Egypt alone has is a nation of around 90 million. 39 million people live in the Delta region in northern Egypt with the rest living alongside the Nile to the south. Egyptians only reside on just 9% of their nation's land and the country is mostly desert and can not sustain life. The river Nile is literally the lifeblood of Egypt. Vegetation cannot grow without it. The rich, alluvial Nile valley allows Egypt to be the center of agriculture in North Africa and the Middle East. Without the Nile, there'ed be mass famine and drought. In such a case, mass migration and even war are inevitable. Again, this won't just affect Egypt but countries around the Middle East and North Africa that import food from Egypt. Economic Consequences Egypt's Economy and those of its neighbors would sink. Agriculture is a huge part of the Egyptian economy. Not to mention the panic of no water. I don't need to add more for this part, its common sense and self-explanatory What's with Egypt and colonial era treaties? Countless Egyptian leaders have rattled their sabres in defense of the water supply. This has soured relations with the eight other countries that share the Nile basin. Most of them have agreed to co-operate with each other, dismissing another old treaty which, Egypt claims, gives it a veto over upstream projects. Treaties have resulted in inequitable rights to the use of Nile water between the countries of the Nile Basin. There has been many dating from 1891 to 1925 (Wikipedia, 2017). British, Italian and French treaties guaranteed that Egypt must be assured a certain percentage of Nile water. In other words, *a bare minimum amount of water* must reach Egypt to sustain life and countries south should not prevent this.

(I am Ethiopian, but I'll try to be unbiased) The problem is not with the size of the dam or with the speed at which it is being filled (or else there would have been serious issues already), the biggest problem is with the uncertainty surrounding periods of drought or when the Nile flow is extraordinarily low. As it stands, Egypt wants to have an agreement already in place for when this happens so that Ethiopia may contribute to solving the issue whereas Ethiopia says that these things must be agreed to as and when they happen and not by making commitments ahead of time. It is also important to consider that both Egypt and Sudan already have dams on the Nile that they could both tap into in times of drought before Ethiopia's dam needs to lower its reservoir. Another point is that Egypt and Sudan also rely on extremely inefficient methods of water use from relying on annual flooding for irrigation as well as growing extremely water intensive crops like cotton.

Ye I mean you didn't do a very good job of being unbiased, if you had then you would have mentioned that there is a perfectly good reason for Egypt to demand an agreement for water security now, as Ethiopia is a conventially stronger nation than Egypt and could, if they weren't in a civil war, cut off Egypt's water in a drought and easily crush Egypt's military.

@@elibrahams5566 I was unbiased when highlighting the problem. Also, Ethiopia is not a stronger nation than Egypt. Firstly, if Ethiopia decides to do something as insane as cutting off the Nile during a drought, then Egypt can simply block the Suez Canal and force much more powerful countries to support them. Secondly, Egypt has 4x the GDP Ethiopia has which means that they have it within them to focus their efforts on better water usage instead of expecting poorer Ethiopians upstream to subsidise Egyptian inefficiency by underusing a natural resource. Both of these methods can resolve the issue surrounding the dam or any drought periods without the need of a single shot being fired.

Egypt needs to invest in less water intensive farming tech and stop wasting water in personal ego projects like the new capital. Ethiopia could just slow down, a couple extra years in the dam production is not that big of a deal in the long run. These threats between neighbors are unnecessary and diplomacy is the way of the future. Overall the dam is good for the region which desperately needs it and a simple look at the world at night is telling.

This is a pretty biased title. I wonder how much the Egyptian Government paid you. I'm neither Egyptian nor Ethiopian and I think that Egypt should no more bully Ethiopia. They have a right to use the Nile as much as Egypt does.

I can really sympathize with the Egyptians and Sudanese on this one. The Nile belongs to everyone on it, electricity in one country shouldn't come at the cost of drought in another.
