Ethiopia calls Egypt's bluff; Pharaohs left seething after years of blather...

[Masgwembe]

Yaani sasa my Cleopatra in Cairo ako karibu kupata shida? Hold my bone soup as I make this call.

 

[Sambamba]

They're the highest military spenders in the continent...hawawezi kosa a few bombers

But would the planes fly back?

 

[Anglututu]

You love to see it. Muarabu apambane na hali yake

Egyptians hapana arabs, don't encourage them. I tell my Egyptian friends they're not arabs to their faces. I get the tail between the legs response every time I say it.

GERD has tested that and it has shown there is nil they can do about it.

But did Ethiopia really sign the treaty given that it wasn't colonized?

Apparently Britain bargained for the Suez Canal with the Nile water.
"Egypt has historically adopted an aggressive approach to the flow of the River Nile. Cairo considers the Nile a national security matter and statements continue to include threats of military action against Ethiopia should it interfere with the flow as set out in agreements signed in 1929 and another in 1959.

The first agreement was made between Great Britain, as the colonial power in eastern African, and Egypt. Cairo was favoured over other riparian countries as an important agricultural asset. In addition, the Egyptian-run Suez Canal was vital for British imperial ambitions.

The British riparian colonies – Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Tanganyika (now Tanzania) – as well as Ethiopia had no say."

Agreements that favour Egypt's rights to Nile waters are an anachronism

The threat to use force to defend Egypt's right to water from the Nile has been a common theme through successive governments.

Egypt are in discussions with Somaliland to set up their fast overseas military base. If this goes through, hapo Ethiopia itakuwa na shida.

Another act of blathering. You cannot put a big enough army on foreign soil.

Somaliland has no description at the moment.....in their quest for recognition as a sovereign country, there's no telling what they can do.

You can be sure each of them left their genes.

If you look at the map you'll see in case of a war between (moslem) Egypt against (coptic) Tigray launched from Somaliland, The Army would need to drive through a large swathe of ethnic Somali (Ogaden). In any case GERD is a project of such national pride to anyone calling himself Ethiopian to a point that they could put aside their internal conflicts to defend the Ethiopian pride and flag.

Lakini kwa nyinyi nyote, how many of you have considered science in your arguments?



eg this damming which is affecting Iraq






or this is US one

It's time Egypt began cooperating with other nations where the water comes from. They shouldn't dictate to other nations how they can use natural resources within their borders.

this damming which is affecting Iraq

Illuminating documentaries.
From the first video one cannot blame all the water woes downstream in Iraq on damming. The world is getting more and more water scarce and requires stable governments to plan for and implement water management structures in consultation with their regional neighbours. I believe that if the infrastructure in Iraq was not destroyed the problems in Basra would not be as dire. Again would you blame the filth in the canals on damming in Turkey? I think that is a result of failed municipal systems as a result of the wars.
Unless a dam is for irrigation, a dam such as GERD is actually beneficial because it will hold the water that would just flow into the Mediterranean during the rainy season and release it after it has driven their turbines all year round. Sudan has actually said they are happy the seasonal flooding will be controlled. Shida ni when too much water is diverted to irrigation.
