It is a source of sustenance but also of tension and new political realities are now increasing uncertainty.

  • with 86% of the water and 100% of the fertile soil coming from Ethiopia, a never colonized country, how come Aljazeera just focused on the insiginificant part of Nile and on the Egyptian demand, "historic legacy"?.

  • this is utter bullshit. esp the way it ends. there really frankly is a way out of this mess that the british set up in the first place. they juz DON'T want it to end. so they emphasize on the fear and rivalry. as always, makin ppl fight. it really doesn't have to go that way. and the attitudes of africans is not to hurt egyptians; it's to benefit EVERYone on the nile. just the egyptians have been brainwashed to forget their africanness and to fear & mistrust their african counterparts

  • @die4ethio

    ha ha, ready for war but can't even beat the somalis? who you kiddin? what weapon do you have besides your big mouth.

  • @Nazrett

    ethiopians could not even defeat the somalis. if the erirtreans and somalis wanted, they could unite and topple the regime on ethiopia, so don't get cocky. the eritreans were the ones who gave Zenawi power.

  • the neo British AlJazeera wants us to engage in war concluding, "fear more than the great Nile itself"! Yes, their own fear led to hatred towards tribes, races and nations that looked so different from them, that they divided and sown their carcinogenic seeds! Everywhere they had been: Americas, Australia, Middle East (Israel-Palestine...) or Asia (India-Pakistan..), their "cancerous" seeds took millions of lives! Mankind goes wrong, becomes "British", "Jew" & "Aryan"! They're inherently wicked!

  • According to Coase Theorem [Economics] Egypt & Sudan will need to pay upper riparian states [Ethiopia, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda] to allow more water to flow to Egypt. Simply having a "need" as Egypt needs Nile isn't a basis for getting a free ride. We don't demand to get oil that comes from Arabic countries for free just because we need it. Let's trade, water for oil otherwise Egypt, YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM! Because we're moving to use it whether you agree or not. From TZ with love

  • @sabisabiti Well said. Truth hurts, for the Egyptians and the British.
