If the president of Egypt was not a Zionist Israeliy agent dictator, they would have invaded both Ethiopia and Sudan from the beginning with a joint force with Turkey(with a deal) or Israel to overwhelm them very quickly and efficiently. Egypt has chemical and biological weapons can be us3d against soldiers. It has more money so they can buy additional manpower from around Africa. Jets attacks as close as sudan can destroy any Ethiopian resistence. Ethiopia is not Afghanistan. Italy in 1935 invaded successfully Ethiopia. Egypt can also recruit Sudan army as human shield. Egypt has acid bombs and flame bombs can be used to destroy farming and forests. Egypt has a decent military production industry which can be fulfilled with this war. It will take 1 yr max. This is not a joke.

@Zylnex xd if Israel join in and do it no government action would go against it even if it did use soft nuclear tactical attacks. I think it is an Israeliy plan. Egypt is an Israeli puppet because of the Zionist dictator in Egypt.

Its not the first dam in Africa built on a river shared by many countries - Limpopo, Zambezi and other rivers have the same shared heritage. Mozambique needs Zambezi, but that has not stopped the building of Kariba Dam upstream from Mozambique. The GERD has been filled for two years in a row now and Egypt has not been affected. There is water in Egypt and electricity is available. Now everyone can see the data(truth in fact) against fears and anxiety (emotions). This is the reality. 77 billion cubic water goes into the blue Nile from rainfall. Ethiopia says it needs 13.5 billion. The rest will go to Egypt and Sudan.

It is highly unlikely that these two nations will ever go to war. I think the war sentiment is mostly a western point of view. Yes, there are legitimate concerns but a war will most negatively impact Egypt as it will give Ethiopia the perfect excuse to disrupt or even sabotage the water flow.

Well if Ethiopia is buying French equipment it's through private corporations (that could easily be German or any other nation) with little to no government interference. Arm deals (including planes) on the other are largely negotiated by government even when the contractor is a private corporation. So it's not really that France is playing both sides (or any of them for that matter) but she has arm deals with many nations including Egypt and Ethiopia happen to have chosen a French company for some of the equipment they're buying and probably chose other companies for other equipment from other nation (that don't seem to matter because the country they originate from isn't selling weapons to Egypt?).

I hate that in the couple of past years on the internet it's just all about you and us pointing fingers at each other, not far from today I don't remember Egyptians holding a grudge or hatred towards Ethiopians in particular but things changed since the construction of them dam, I have to state that I wish for Ethiopia to grow in prosperity, generate power for homes and factories, a dream come true for sure, but I don't want to lose the 3% of arable land we have (out of the entire country), we're entirely a desert country, we don't possess anything like your humongous lakes, equatorial rain seasons or huge underground water basins. Truly sad to see things go that way but concerning your comment I remember when Ethiopians keep boasting about something that happened more than a century ago, for example when Ethiopians boast about 1896 and how they have stood against all odds and beat Italy, but then Italy Invaded Ethiopia in 1935 and reigned victorious (it is worth noting that they've use chemical weapons), this is *NOT* me hating on Ethiopia but just a reminder that between a well-deserved victory and a horrible defeat was a time gap of 39 years. A lot happened in said 39 years, from technological advances to the Italians learning from their mistakes, employing different tactics, the decent generation who fought (commanders specifically) in the first invasion dying out of old age and so on. So, yes Israel did this and that in 1967 and you like to mention that alot and there's no denying that we were defeated, a horrible defeat, well they underestimated us and in just 6 years we did what they didn't expect at all, as they would say "we beat them in X, we beat in Y, what a joke, they will never do Z", regardless of how 1973 ended up, in just 6 years a lot has changed. Warfare is evolving faster than ever, what used to be a state of the art weapon is either rotting in a storage facility or serving in the rear echelons. War is naive and won't benefit anyone but don't think that just because you've won a battle 140 years ago that it would give you any type of advantage against different circumstances (those of the modern day).

[@patrick247two]

I thought water flows through the turbines, back into the river, then carries on to the sea. Will the flow through the dam equal the past flow of the river before construction of the dam? Dams are often built to help regulate river flows to reduce damage from flooding, as well as average out highs and lows of flow. Is it less about a dam, and more to do with Egypt using Ethiopia as an example of what happens to countries getting too big for their boots.

[@CallOfDoughnuts]

The water outflow would not actually match what the usual river flow was, as more or less water is released through the turbines depending on energy demand. The regular river flow probably also varies depending on the season. But theoretically, if Ethiopia agreed to constantly release water at nearly the regular rate (but not exceeding it so the reservoir doesn’t have a net loss), then I’d think the impact would be minimal. But Egypt would have to trust Ethiopia to do this, and the possibility of a drought would be frightening.

[@RusNad]

The problem is that they first have to fill the reservoir to use the dam. Egypt is trying to negotiate a timetable for filling while Ethiopia doesn't want to make an agreement. And potentially more water could be lost through evaporation.

[@bla123blubb]

There are contradicting numbers about the amount of water already in the reservoir. If it's true that it already reached almost half capacity and could be filled within 2 years as said in the video then I don't understand why Egypt is making such a drama. They have their own reservoir with the Aswan dam holding 132 cubic kilometres of water, an additional reservoir upstream (with only tenth of the capacity?) helps with holding back sediment and for flood prevention, but won't impact the amount of water coming down significantly once it's filled

As history is a witness, those that have underestimated Ethiopia have not had good fortunes. Ethiopia has indeed many challenges, both internal as well as external, but if there is one thing that we do well - its to rise above our challenges to become an even stronger nation. Our nation knows who plots what and who finances who behind our backs. That will not go far. Despite the manifold pressures in regards to the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), its going according to plan. They tried to stop its construction, but they didn't succeed. They tried to stop its first filling, but that was a failure. They tried to stop its second filling, which was yet another failure. Mark my words, despite challenges left and right, in spite of pressures up and down, we will complete the dam and it shall be a living testament to our natural right to use our natural resource. Theoretical musing and geopolitical analysis is all well and good, and I admire your efforts of looking into the dispute. You have overlooked the fact that Egypt tries to bind us with colonial-era treaties, which have become a stumbling block to the talks around the dam. Its quite alright, we are used to the international community overlooking our concerns and issues. However, as a nation, Ethiopia has witnessed brilliant analysts get everything wrong about its situation - as they always fail to factor the resilience of our people, especially when challenges hit home.

I bet you thought Ethiopia wouldn’t last a week when the Tigray war lasted.The government has demonstrated that it could win the war 8 months ago when it captured mek’elle in less than 3 weeks if it was not for international pressure the government wouldn’t have backed away.Remember Ethiopia is under US sanctions so the tight rope I see here is walking the line between the US and China who are both competing for interest ,but the US particularly who is giving Ethiopia a hard time by undermining our national security.

[@MrCamille9999]

I guess it's meme but wtv. If Ethiopia is buying French equipment it's through private corporations (that could easily be German or any other nation) with little to no government interference. Arm deals (including planes) on the other are largely negotiated by government even when the contractor is a private corporation. So it's not really that France is playing both sides (or any of them for that matter) but she has arm deals with many nations including Egypt and Ethiopia happen to have chosen a French company for some of the equipment they're buying and probably chose other companies for other equipment from other nation (that don't seem to matter because the country they originate from isn't selling weapons to Egypt?).

[@primus108]

Egypt needs to watch its step. If they damage the GRD, what is to stop the Ethiopians from doing the same to the Aswan High Dam? If they blew that up, Cairo would be gone, and Egypt would cease to exist as a country. Long term, there will be almost as much water flowing in the Nile after the GRD is filled as there was before. Little of it will be used for agriculture, almost all will make electricity, which should kick start the Ethiopian economy as well as the economies of neighbouring countries, and reduce both external and internal conflicts; people who are prosperous or perceive that they have the chance to achieve prosperity are less likely to fight each other than they are to do business together.

Ethiopia's military is vastly weaker than Egypt's. Egypt can defend themself militarily, Ethiopia can't. Also Ethiopia sells itself terribly internationally. Your representatives in interviews about the dam boil down to "we can do what we please" and in a conflict Ethiopia would have few friends.

[@melk7020]

@@MahdiShibly Its simple, understand how the flood flow, from where to where. Answer is the flood will flow from to Sudan then to Egypt. Now let explain you how it works #1. If you blow up GERD then flood wipe Sudanese Dams and Egypts large Aswan Dam. Then Cairo will wiped into red see. No flood is coming toward Ethiopia. Any way Egypt has not capable enough to blow the GERD and the defiance systems waiting Egypt's air craft to turn into ashes. If Egypt lucky enough to blow the Dam Ethiopia will add some spices on the river at the end of Ethiopia boarder. You know what I mean

For Your Information; the second filling of the dam only reached 4 BCM, making the the total reservoir capacity 9 BCM and not 18!

[@GAndreC]

Pal Ethiopia might not have negotiated like they got equal rights to the dam but from the outset Egypt was negotiating in bad faith and tryyto uphold the treaties with the colonizers they broke when they nationalized their dam and the suez as what gave them the right to control all water that flows into and out of the Nile. When it was brought to their attention Egypt itself had made the treaty null and void they proceeded to pull out a treaty from the time of the mahdi war which they had also made null and void when the suez was nationalized. The dam is not feed from both of the main Nile tributaries just one thus the biggest issue has always been upstream countries having the right to build dams in their own land instead of the reduction of the water flow. Even in the fastest models to fill up the dam the water to people was not in danger but the one going to the farming sector was to some degree. That said Egypt has a limited amount of rainfall and due to the long links between the Upper Nile civilizations and the river it is understandable why Egypt might feel it rightful and unquestionable owner of the Nile but it rescinded that right the moment it gave international bodies the right to mediate in their affairs.

@@GAndreC Build a hundred dam!, all we need is coordination and co-operation and don't sell the water!, we need a biding agreement between the three countries!

[@royparker7856]

Lack of a binding agreement is no justification for violating Ethiopia's sovereignty. Unless and until the Ethiopians reduce the flow of the river below the average annual flow, any military action by Egypt would be aggression, not defensive. In another couple of years, the reservoir should be full enough to complete the filling more gradually. Once full, the reservoir will store sufficient water to prevent shortages in dry years. Providing energy for such a huge population cannot be a bad thing. Egypt believes that it owns the Nile and is actually depending on colonial era treaties with other upstream countries (not Ethiopia) to justify that claim. Ironic, isn't it?

[@99m0bb1n]

Very ironic. Especially during Nasser time which was against everything colonialism and tore up the agreements regarding the suez canal when he nationalized it even though it was owned by the british and french.

It was one of those "we're all doomed" because the environment is going to collapse because of the hole in the ozone layer and acid rain type of documentaries. They made a series of mock news headlines based on this scenario.
