@OMAR GAMES LORD he means scientists, they speculated that due to global warming, wars for water would start around the 2030s thru the rest of the century unless we come up with better desalinization methods
The down stream countries can start paying for water from Ethiopia’s Abbay and save on human lives and resources spent for water that belongs to other countries. There money alone can pay for water they feel they need and it will be a transparent straight forward transaction meter cube equals ex amount of dollars, no blood spilt and no money wasted on armament. Learn from Lesotho, South Africa and Turkey, Israel!!!
@OMAR GAMES LORD Your colonial masters signed on your behalf as they were taking the cotton produced to their country grown on free land, free water and free Labour which was fantastic for them. There only cost was transportation to their factories where they do the spinning. We were too busy warding of colonialism to think of anything else at the time. Now the English are gone and it’s 2021, you still want us to honor agreements done while both you and Egypt were a colony? If the English care for you so much they can pipe the Tames and send you their water!! They have no business dictating rules. You on the other hand are not slaves anymore, quit trying to force rules made up by colonial powers upon us because we know the international rules that apply to rivers that flow through multiple countries. We will use what we require as a source country and will let you and Sudan have the rest. If you think you will create small wars to disrupt our construction, wars won’t last for ever but you will still need the water and we will never forget what you have been doing to our country, in the end you will pay for it
@OMAR GAMES LORD you have been playing the Arab league as middle men for decades, they know you well and have realized that you’ve been milking them with your sweet talk, now they have made peace with Israel and Turkey, they don’t need you anymore! You’re on your own, you never won a single war in near history, Ethiopia beat you up twice and Israel once, the wars you had with Ethiopia lasted a couple of days each while the one you had with Israel lasted 6 days!
Ethiopia is trying to have a political card to blackmail egypt , we know how much the hate us and how they're driving their people toward such hatred because of their internal problems , if u want to unite a country just find an enemy there are so many different ways of producing electricity other than building a 7 bilion dollar dam and right now egypt is building a dam for tenzania
Because the Dams in Egypt doesn't affect any other countries you smartie The oldest civilization on this planet was and still around the NILE so it's everything in Egypt a matter of life and death , read abt the damage it will cause
Because if Egypt has a million dams, it will only hurt her No one will accept any harm to himself and you must protect it Because its fall is near, and you know that Egypt is the ninth strongest army, the world will topple it as it bombed the Turkish base in the far reaches of Libya when it learned that there are air defenses
BlindingLight ur not wrong I’m on Ethiopia’s side on this one this will help them a lot and Ethiopia shoulde be a rich country because there no 1 in the world for making coffee
@Melvin Aziz I fully agree with you my friend. It seems to me that Ethiopia is to focused on the short term benefits than looking long-term and making friends with their neighbors rather than basically taking their water source hostage
Melvin Aziz 1st off Ethiopia isn't trying to starve any one and Ethiopia also said it will fill the dam from 4-7 years as to where Egypt said it want Ethiopia to fill the dam 15-20 years does that seam fair to you and in Ethiopia about 50% percent of the population don't have electrical power and also another 50 clean water so again does this seem fair and also why does Egypt always bring up colonial era treaties wc Ethiopia wasn't part of as it was not anyone's colony and the fact of the matter is the 1st phase of the filling of the dam was completed with In 2 weeks and also if you wanna talk about water resources we know about the aquifer water reserve under ground wc literally is about 1 trillion cubic meters then why don't you use that ?
NTLuck Ethiopia has the long term benefit in mind nothing short term about it and since when has Egypt been a neighbor of Ethiopia you never have and you never will be see we just figured it out in this world we have no friends only leaches whom come close to you if they want something so we will do what's good for our national interest not for yours! And also Ethiopia has stated that it is not out to harm Egypt but you ppl just make it look like we are out to kill you as if that's in our nature . The sad thing is you ppl are being puppets for your government by being led by emotion rather than rationality it's just sad really you gulp everything they give you just like a baby being fed but spoon !
Melvin Aziz the problem with the minimum limit of water being set is what if Ethiopia it's self is hit with a drought do you expect it to give you water whitest its ppl die of thirst ? Be rational here pls and FYI the deal relating to the filling of the dam has been agreed upon the problem is that Egypt wants to make Ethiopia sign a deal wc would make Ethiopia ask Egypt and Sudan before constructing other projects on the Nile wc obviously Ethiopia won't agree to!
🇪🇹 May God bless the good people of Ethiopia. And may God bless and protect the "Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam". that the good people of Ethiopia worked so hard to build. I also have not forgotten about, and give thanks to "Simegnew Bekele," the first project manager and chief engineer for the "Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam." He was killed on July 26, 2018 he was only 53 years old. When I first heard about the Renaissance Dam being built Simegnew Bekele was also the spokesperson for the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and a very Brilliant black man.

Egypt's arguments (treaties made with colonial powers a century ago) and military threats are absolutely laughable. I wish they had that kind of energy towards Israel, but somehow they assume Ethiopia should take orders from Cairo. As a Somali and neighbor of Ethiopia, I fully support Ethiopia and wish them nothing but success. If the Nile began in Egypt, they would have built dozens of dams without any consultation of downstream nations.
Egypt is not against building the dam and all the negotiations between the two countries is about the time period it is filled within so that they do it in a way that doesn't kill 100 million person and i don't understand why you think that egypt want to kill everyone
@@mariamahmed-ei8js I never said Egypt wants to kill everyone, but Egypt did make military threats to blow up the dam before any negotiations with Ethiopia. That's insulting.
@@GetUnrealistic Not insulting. It just a simple logic. Either we have an agreement on how this dam is gonna operate as it is controlling the river that made egypt what it is for thousands of years, or blow it down. Do you think that we have any other option!! . By the way Sadat threatened that dam. Mubarak also threatened that dam. But now we are open for negotiating an agreement, otherwise the other option shall be to really bring it down. Historically Israel refused to withdraw from Sinai through a peace agreement, we were forced to start a war just to finally reach an agreement and return back our land. Now it is the water either we reach an agreement or reach an agreement by forcing it.
That is right.... I don't c any thing that will stop us from working together for z benefit of both nations. On one panel discussion, I saw Sudanese professor explaining haw the energy from Ethiopia, agriculture from Sudan and market in Egypt can be coordinated so that all 3nations can be benefited
@@eslam472 you are right but as el sisi said we will not keep negotiating forever.unless abiy ahmed agrees that this damn wont harm our share and Sudan share in the nile,things will not escalate.
Actually on this topic it is my opinion this channel didnt do enough research. Mentioned the population of egypt but didnt mention ethiopians population which is greater than egypt. Fair to say ethiopia isnt being selfish but fair. We all need the water just as much! 😁
@@gamokorche6753 ethiopia doesn't need water ethiopia need electricity ethiopia already have more than 11 river hundreds of billion water from rain yearly egypt only has one river if ethiopia want electricity then they only need a dam that only hold 14 billion water not 74 etiopia want to hold the water that's their goal just like how they did with somalia and kenya
Imagine thinking that an agreement Egypt signed with Britain should be enforced upon Ethiopia, that agreement has as much value in this argument as one Egypt signed with itself, completely pointless.
The problem is if the nile is dammed that creates 100s of thousands or possibly millions of refugees that will head to Europe and eventually the uk. Ethiopia is playing a dangerous game.
Egipt has the ocean so can take water from there and deselenzation?! the solution?! every country has the right to do whatever want !?so?! every country is ruled by a Demon so ...
Yes but Egypt hasn't affected any one with its dam... It's your right to develope you country but not your right to decrease our sole water provider..thats why we ask to fill the dam over extended years so the damage is minimal..but no! You still refuse..I wonder why 😃
@@deredere2434 not 100% if the damn was filled at a short time period (3yrs ) then no this would be a matter of national security for us egyptians and directly leading to war. But if filled at a long time peroid(10) then yes they can proceed. Otherwise its gonna be our bombs and rockets that will speak...
Well when Ethiopia start to built the dam Egypt said our country will be in a drought but not based on reality ....well Ethiopia start to fill ohh we all gona die but look what happened real with in Egypt there country now faced so many flood. So Ethiopia prove that the dam will not affect Egyptian people or Egypt.
Do the math. If Ethiopia fills the GERD in 4 (four) years, they will take LESS water, per year, then Egypt "took", per year, to fill the Aswan Dam. No water shortage, No one died.
That's a totally unfair comparison first of all Egypt's population was only 30M when the aswan dam was filled but now its 100M plus it's not only Egypt which is affected there is also Sudan and also a big percent of the agricultural area in Egypt will disapear and also these are not my words Specialists said that
Why Ethiopia cares for Egypt while Egypt doesn't care for Ethiopia? Ethiopia shouldn't be thirsty while Egypt get the whole water . Blue Nile is 100%ethiopian. Ethiopia should not lose any water to make Egypt full. Ethiopia first !!!! First Ethiopia need to use its water!!! Ethiopia need to be hungry to make Egypt full??? Why??? That will not happen anymore.
@@mr.cannon2973 I keep hearing references to experts that predict agricultural area of Egypt disappearing. These have not reached the press outside of the area so references would be appreciated as I would like to study their procedures and methods. Please provide. Thank you
@@mr.cannon2973 Since you have not supplied the specialist "words" I can only assume that they do not exist. If you are not interested in putting up, please shut up.
Egypt's problem with Ethiopia isn't the dam itself but rather Ethiopia's plan to fill the reservoir in as fast a time as possible thus severely limiting water access to a mostly desert country. Like you said in the video, normally a reservoir the size of the one in Ethiopia would take 15-20 years to fill. During that time Egypt can depend on its own reservoir in lake Nasser but if Ethiopia carries on with its selfish plan to fill the reservoir within 2 years then you both Egypt and Sudan will suffer a drought not seen in a thousand years. Can Ethiopia handle the fallout of such an event? Wars have been fought for lesser reasons but when you threaten the lives of almost a 100 million people just so you can better your own living conditions then I would not be surprised if we see a war on the horizon. Please bear in mind that I am not saying that Ethiopia does not have the right to build the dam or better the living conditions and economy of their country but rather they do not have the right to take an entire nation hostage for their own benefit.
Very well said. Ethiopia must agree on filling the dam not faster than 10 years and it MUST agree on a guaranteed, minimum waterflow Level to Egypt (guaranteed Withholding Limit that is Not a Problem for Egypt). Only then both countries can benefit in the long run and only then the dam is a fair, defendable Project, seen from an objective, rational standpoint.
@@dimarak8866 exactly. People seem to not realize that the GRD is actually going to be a godsend for both Sudan and Egypt IF it's responsibly handled. It will provide Sudan with excess electricity that they sorely need and will allow Egypt to concentrate more on the many projects that the country is going through. The GRD has the potential to bring those three nations together more than anything else yet short-sightedness can lead to disasters
@@arix2259 that is a dangerous attitude, because a war is never a great solution. Only if ethiopia wont cooperate and waterflow levels are actually falling because of the dam, a war would be the only solution.
@@arix2259 Nobody wants a war my friend. Egypt's last war was almost 50 years ago so maybe you don't remember the tragedies of war but war is never a solution. The situation may escalate to war that's true but it will not solve anything. Rather it will create an enmity instead
Nile river is an international river so no specific country owns it Its water is shared between the countries on the river Ethiopia is creating a new law 😂😂😂
@@mr.cannon2973 some bad attitudes that I don't like from Egyptian sides are 1. Just because they were told that Nile is there own for centuries, still they want to act as if they own it and it just pass through Ethiopia. 2. All experts and politicians in Egypt know the dam in Ethiopia will not cause harm to Egypt if it is filled between 5-10 years. But just not to take any risk they want Ethiopia to pay the price. 3. Egyptian worry more for losing controlling power on the Nile river not the water they lose by the dam built. For over 100 years Egypt was the only powerful country that control the flow of the Nile river. But now things changed, Ethiopia also going to br another country that has power on the Nile. That is what they don't like most. Other issues like drought, Killing of millions in Egypt.. bla bla... are just used for media propaganda. But I believe Egyptian should be familiar with the facts. The GERD dam is built on a river that originated from Ethiopia, in her own natural resource. Second Egyptian should know Ethiopia increasing influence and power on the Nile is not a treat to Egypt. We, Ethiopia. And Egypt have no that much tread relationship. Politically they are not enemies, they don't even share border. so I don't c haw Ethiopian want to use their increasing influence on the Nile to control Egypt.
Even tho i am from Egypt. i am on no side, Ethiopia will benefit, but others will be harmed. if the dam didn't exist, Egypt and Sudan will be happy, but Ethiopia would have lost million of dollars on the pre-built dam, which partly Ethiopia's fault for not making agreement first.

Ethiopia insists on dividing the waters of the Blue Nile equally between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia !! Ok, we agree and say that the water of the Blue Nile is 50 billion and the water of Lake Tana from which the Blue Nile originates is 40 billion, so the total will be 90 billion divided into three countries, so that the share of Egypt and Sudan will be 60 billion cubic meters, and Ethiopia must pump 10 billion of Lake Tana water into the waters of the Nile The Blue Nile so that we divide the waters of the Blue Nile and its source from Lake Tana water equally between the three countries, thus Egypt and Sudan will get 60 billion cubic meters instead of 50 billion in the past, and peace be upon greed Also I didn't talk about the rains

Water is for all people, and whoever tries to Prevent it from a brother is mentally insane and feels inferior and does not seek peace, for he is just a liar claiming peace and progress. And we will not forget that Egypt offered them a dam project elsewhere that would have generated more energy for them, and they refused Do you know why? Because they are governments that feel inferior and pitiful
I am Sudanese and I believe a new water deal that is fair to all Nile basin countries needs to happen, even if it affects our water supply. But what people don't understand is that the negotiations are not related to this specific point right now. Egypt has a very harsh desert climate and an insane population growth, so it would make sense for them to oppose this dam. In Sudan, our main problem is coordination between Ethiopia on the filling and emptying of the reservoir. Our biggest dam is less than 40kms away from the GERD, so unless there is synchronisation between the 2 governments on filling and emptying, it could have serious damaging effects on our water and electrical supplies. That is why Sudan was neutral at first to the project, but has recently been a strict opposer to the GERD after Ethiopia filled it unilaterally last July, which lead to some of the worst power cuts we have had for almost a decade as our dam went out of service. I don't think this dam will ever be good news unless the 3 countries actually give a priority to the technical issues of the dam, rather than using it as a political tool of leverage and war. Hopefully, I wish this ends peacefully for all 3 of us.
Why power cuts? Dont u mean water cuts? I was in egypt this past summer & experienced 2 phases of water cuts that lasted the whole day each..idk if this is because of the dam
As I said, our nearest dam is only 40kms away from the GERD. Last July when Ethiopia filled the dam unilaterally, the resorvoir of Al Roseiris dam was practically empty. Its full capacity is very small when compared to the GERD. So electricity couldn't be generated and power cuts happened. Al Roseiris is also responsible for supplying half of our country's electricity.
In Egypt, 105 million people live on 55 billion meters of the Nile water, that is, below the international water poverty level, and in Ethiopia 110 million people live on 900 billion cubic meters of water, then they talk about Egypt's domination of the Nile water
@@nunyabailey Really !! so they announced that they about to build 3 more additional dams on the course of the Nile River plus 100 small dams on the small rivers that feed the blue Nile.

who did everyone right why in first place Ethiopia didn't make it joint project for both water and electricity in fact Egypt in 1960s ask for this project Ethiopia will get money and constructed companies from Egypt Egypt already build dam in Tanzania will be the biggest in size but of course Ethiopia won't love this because that will make Egypt control the Nile in fact that not something bad Egypt have great ability to lead the region Egypt best country in Africa in Management water recourse Egypt very poor in water and lands is 3rd in Africa in agriculture so Egypt have abilities in fact also Ethiopia will gain power so what is the problem easy answer Israel when all African stand against invasions Ethiopia start relationship with Israel why because Israel want to control Nile so in fact it wasn't about poor people who need food and electricity ok Egypt war with Israel end so what happened next of course tigry who lead Ethiopia started to lose power how to gain power easy answer make gaint project so all Ethiopian look at you as best government strong government and what happened in Egypt revolution in 2011 so in fact Ethiopia used Egypt weak time to escape negotiations and what is worst why on earth you build gaint dam when you have many rivers and drought problems so why you don't build like any other country many small dams which easy to transfer electricity to cities and villages in case of one big dam most Ethiopian villages won't have electricity because dam is so far away which need complex Electricity network but if every region have dam and every river have small dam every villages and city will have electricity second which is most important thing million of Ethiopian dead or affect from the drought in other country like Egypt have no problem with drought because the high dam which is water management dam in fact Without the high dam it will be impossible for Ethiopia to build the dam because if Egypt water share decreased million of Egyptian will have no job millions will be poor UN will never accept that so my point water management dams can save Ethiopian in will make Ethiopia best country in Africa in agriculture and Ethiopia can gain alot of support from Egypt experts and companies Egypt companies is better from Chinese company because one thing Chinese company will own your country and you can't do anything to pay thim but in Egypt case Egypt need this project Nile river need very good management which mean more water for Egypt and Nile river countries also trade Egypt is most country in the world import import wheat in fact Egypt start project to connect Nile countries by river transportation so projects like this will have great economic value in other hand the Grant dam didn't have great economic value because in first place when any one make project first thing you need to know is how this project will be against other project and now all countries start to use Egypt needs for energy Egypt want to be region energy power Egypt already have 5 times the Grant dam capacity unused Egypt will export electricity to eroupe and gulf countries and Arab countries and Egypt start to do that also Egypt will export gas and oil so Egypt now support any energy project in Africa Egypt already build Tanzania dam and many small dams in kynia and also Egypt gave Congo alot support in inga dam which will produce about 80,000 megawatt 13x Ethiopian dam because one resoean Congo river flow is more than 10x the blue Nile flow so Ethiopian project have no chance against Congo river and like I said Egypt will support Congo river even Congo river will connect to Egyptian electricity network to expert electricity to eroupe which mean alot of money to congo and Egypt

The dam will vastly benefit Egypt and Sudan also for the clean energy generated will save the Ethiopian forests which are the source of the Nile waters in the first place thereby increasing the volume of the Nile waters even more. If the Ethiopian forests disappear the Nile waters will dry up anyway! Egypt and Sudan on the other hand should be responsible enough. They ought to launch a national mega campaign to use their Nile waters wisely by planting and nurturing trees to green their vast deserts in order to create their own forests which invariably will bring rainfall, translating to more sources of water at their disposal generated within their own borders.
They don’t realize that ecosystems have no borders, they don’t care what happens on the Ethiopian Abbay (Blue Nile), side of the water as long as the water keeps flowing. How it is made to continue flowing doesn’t seem to concern them so long as the preservation is done by Ethiopians, on the Ethiopian side with Ethiopian money. They only have issues with the decreasing flow, why flows decrease they feel is none of their concern until the water dries up naturally!
Ethiopia should do what they like in their territory. Egypt is too greedy and wastes water not caring for the plight of the countries producing the water.
The best analysis of the African issue so far, it's high time Egypt accepts the status CO on the Nile. It's only choice now is to negotiate in good faith. As war will mean disaster for Egypt and the entire region
I dont think ethiopia can even match Egypt in a war.. Ethipia isjust stealing the main source of life in a country that have relied on the Nile river for over 5000 years, It is directly harming Egypt and if this dam is built without an agreement Egypt has every right to simply bomb the heck outof it.
@@mlotov3838 I don't heard any Egypt Old Kingdom has expand to Ethiopia but I heard a Kingdom live in modern day Ethiopia has rule the water resources I think Ethiopia has Right to use the dam because They has live there without getting colonized so yea Egypt should calm down and use other water resources like the big underground water that only Libya using and other country not like why.
The best option is to prosper together in peace. The water is more than enough hence the dam is hydro-electric and it won't stop the flow of water which is impossible.

They will store some of the water in Ethiopia, preventing the much needed water from reaching Egypt. Also, the Nile carries soil with it. As much as Egyptians need water, they also need its soil.
@@omarsabry9489 the water that to be stored at the dam will be through gradual process, not overnight. Also consider the amount of water wasted at the desert through evaporation. About the soil, I think, Egyptians stored a lot yet and this days, they need more other options than fully depending on the river.
@@omarsabry9489 The water stored in Ethiopia is not permanent. Once the reservoir behind the dam is filled up, the flow of the river will return to normal. And even IF Ethiopia wanted to horde more water, they physically can not do so, or else their reservoir would overflow. So don't worry. Once the reservoir fills up, it's filled for good, and the amount of water coming out of the Blue Nile will return to normal levels. What Ethiopia really needs to do is to pay Egypt reparations so that they can afford to import water whilst the reservoir is being filled. I think Ethiopia will have to agree to this. If not, foreign powers will surely intervene. A crisis of this possible scale - endangering millions - would guarantee foreign aid for Egypt, and a global condemnation for Ethiopia. Ethiopia may be in a self-centered state right now, but they're not stupid enough to make the world their enemy. As for the precious soil, I hate to break it to you, but Egypt already loses over 95% of all the sediment flowing down from the Nile river at Lake Nasser. It physically cannot pass through the Aswan Dam, and therefore it gets stuck and just builds up on the lakebed of Lake Nasser. This causes several problems. 1: Lake Nasser get shallower and less effective because the floor of the lakebed is rising, 2: The soil on the banks of the Nile downstream have lost their fertility and now require substantial amounts of chemical fertilizers to sustain their use for growing crops, and 3: The Nile River Delta, no longer fed and grown by sediment deposition, is slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. This is simply the problem with dams. It's inescapable.

And just a bit of an update, a few weeks after Sudan's irrigation ministry announced the 90 million cubic meters drop in the water levels, Sudan has been met with a HISTORICALLY high flood water level forcing at least a million people to leave there home and to the destruction of most of Sudanese farm lands before the crops were harvested.... which is clearly very very sad and I clearly hope for better days for Sudan, the floods hasn't stopped till to these day and the after effects of the flood is expected to last years after all the floods water reseeds ... we all have to admit its kind of IRONIC!
Egypt stated over and over that they don't have a problem with the existence of the dam but they want to sign a binding agreement that states that Egypt's share of water don't get affected but Ethiopia is refusing that completely.
Ethiopia does not control the rain coming from the sky, the water in the river doesn't come from the underground...Egypt is demanding for an insurance of the rains from ethiopia..that is why trick and am sure the Arabs consulted with the whites and that is what they came up with...shit the river is in ethiopia the rains fall in ethiopia, ethiopia shouldn't care anyone beyond its borders in their pursuit for the interest of their people in their borders..who has the higher ground?

Millions are in poverty and darkness in Ethiopia. This project should uplift our brothers and sister in Ethiopia. Egypt had ample opportunities to diversify and benefit from their natural resources, but instead have made a lot of generals rich. The same generals who subjugate their own citizens.
@@topstryka ok so if this dam was built this can basically change the whole geopolitical world of Europe for good which is a negative Simply for Ethiopians to have better lives The average citizen of Cairo and Adiss Ababa roughly earn the same amount of income and have the same amount of quality of life yet if this dam wasade adis Ababa citizens would be wealthier living in way modern houses while those in Cairo either die or force to migrate Also ethiopian generals are corrupt Basically every country has corrupt generals so it doesn't apply here I'm not Egyptian and perhaps if Egypts populas wouldnt go to extreme poverty due to the dam then I would be on ethiopias side however that's not the case
Ethiopia and Egypt are responsible for their own citizens . It would be difficult to properly quantify how this will benefit or effect the economies of these countries. It is even more difficult to forecast or anticipate the migration patterns of people. A lot easier to anticipate Ethiopia utilizing the Dam at some point.

@@mohammedzaid9274 I didnt say ethiopia should take all the water for themselves obviously if ethiopia uses the water for their dam it will affect egypt but as long as it doesn't impact Egypt in a really harsh way then ethiopia should be able to use their own resources and take out their people out of poverty plus after they use the water for electricity all the water is going straight to the Egypt ok.
So if I understand what your saying, Egypt is angry at Ethiopia for doing the same thing Egypt did. Does that mean that if Egypt blows up the dam then they should also blow up their own dams?

Egypt is only asking Ethiopia to fill the dam slow and steady, so the dam doesnt cause any harm to Egypt or sudan, and btw the 2nd filling will cause 1 million job lose to Egyptian and 20 million to Sudan.

This is happening in the down stream countries of the Mekong River. Chayna building so many dams upstream. It's not because the source is within your boundaries, it doesn't give you the moral right to do whatever yoh like. Water is God's gift to humanity and no one should have the monopoly to use it.
Don’t compare those 2 situations. 1st of all Ethiopia will never do anything that could harm egypt. All of Ethiopias rivers are tributaries of the bile. When Ethiopia built a dam before on our own river ,Egypt came and blew it up. Although it didn’t harm them in anyway. Egypt waged war on Ethiopia and tried to colonize us using somalia. Egypt intervined on our internal affairs and caused our country to break into 2. Thousands of Ethiopians are dying because of Egypt currently. They always always intervene on our countries affairs. Because of Egypt me and my family have to live with constant fear because there are armed groups that they are paying to kill people. We are building the nile because we have no choice. Everything we had that could serve as a means of development was taken away by Egypt. We have to finish the dam so all of this terror stops. They are killing us only because we are the source. If we don’t stop them then this terror wont end. They are evil people.
They fail to understand what an international river is. Egypt is ok with the dam but we're not okay with a country acting unilaterally like it owns the river completely disregarding the downstream countries and refusing to reach a binding agreement on how the dam should work not to affect the downstream fair shares.
@@whenlifegivesyouLSD now south sudan will also build then tanzania will be using the water for irrigation. What is ur plan? Will u run to the UNSC again? 🥲
Ethiopia has every right to build a dam , they were left out of previous agreements , it’s created jobs and power which is great considering their nations poverty rating , Egypt needs to move to solar power there’s a whole dessert right there , Sudan benefits the most fixes their flooding issues and they’ll most likely buy the surplus of energy from Ethiopia
To preface, I'm just an American who only recently learned about this issue, so I apologize if I look stupid, but this dam is supposed to be able to bring Ethiopia in the big bucks, right? So here's a plan I'd like to propose: Step 1: Sell bonds to individuals and governments the world over until you've amassed funds equal to the value of the total water Egypt consumes in four years. Step 2: build the dam, but construct it such that the waterflow can never be 100% shut down, so that Egypt doesn't have to worry about you ever threatening to do as much in the future. Step 3: Pay Egypt the money they need to buy water while the dam's reservoir fills. Step 4: Once the reservoir fills and water starts flowing into Egypt again, use the income brought in by the dam to pay back your investors.
To Egyptians in the comments, take pride in your long culture and history rather than your powerful military that can 'rival Russia and USA' and 'Invade Ethiopia' the former is a good thing to take pride in, the latter, well, the Egyptian military has probably killed more Egyptians throughout its existence than foreign combatants.

Now the English are gone and it’s 2021, you still want us to honor agreements done while both you and Egypt were a colony?

We will use what we require as a source country and will let you and Sudan have the rest.

Do the math. If Ethiopia fills the GERD in 4 (four) years, they will take LESS water, per year, then Egypt "took", per year, to fill the Aswan Dam. No water shortage, No one died.
That's a totally unfair comparison first of all Egypt's population was only 30M when the aswan dam was filled but now its 100M plus it's not only Egypt which is affected there is also Sudan and also a big percent of the agricultural area in Egypt will disapear and also these are not my words
Specialists said that
Why Ethiopia cares for Egypt while Egypt doesn't care for Ethiopia? Ethiopia shouldn't be thirsty while Egypt get the whole water . Blue Nile is 100%ethiopian. Ethiopia should not lose any water to make Egypt full. Ethiopia first !!!! First Ethiopia need to use its water!!!

@@mr.cannon2973 but egypt let's all the water in the aswan dam evaporate, maybe if they care so much about water they can take care of it better
Egypt's problem with Ethiopia isn't the dam itself but rather Ethiopia's plan to fill the reservoir in as fast a time as possible thus severely limiting water access to a mostly desert country. Like you said in the video, normally a reservoir the size of the one in Ethiopia would take 15-20 years to fill. During that time Egypt can depend on its own reservoir in lake Nasser but if Ethiopia carries on with its selfish plan to fill the reservoir within 2 years then you both Egypt and Sudan will suffer a drought not seen in a thousand years. Can Ethiopia handle the fallout of such an event? Wars have been fought for lesser reasons but when you threaten the lives of almost a 100 million people just so you can better your own living conditions then I would not be surprised if we see a war on the horizon.
Please bear in mind that I am not saying that Ethiopia does not have the right to build the dam or better the living conditions and economy of their country but rather they do not have the right to take an entire nation hostage for their own benefit.
Very well said. Ethiopia must agree on filling the dam not faster than 10 years and it MUST agree on a guaranteed, minimum waterflow Level to Egypt (guaranteed Withholding Limit that is Not a Problem for Egypt). Only then both countries can benefit in the long run and only then the dam is a fair, defendable Project, seen from an objective, rational standpoint.
@@dimarak8866 exactly. People seem to not realize that the GRD is actually going to be a godsend for both Sudan and Egypt IF it's responsibly handled. It will provide Sudan with excess electricity that they sorely need and will allow Egypt to concentrate more on the many projects that the country is going through. The GRD has the potential to bring those three nations together more than anything else yet short-sightedness can lead to disasters
We will fight Ethiopia sooner or later.
@@arix2259 that is a dangerous attitude, because a war is never a great solution. Only if ethiopia wont cooperate and waterflow levels are actually falling because of the dam, a war would be the only solution.

@@mr.cannon2973 some bad attitudes that I don't like from Egyptian sides are 1. Just because they were told that Nile is there own for centuries, still they want to act as if they own it and it just pass through Ethiopia. 2. All experts and politicians in Egypt know the dam in Ethiopia will not cause harm to Egypt if it is filled between 5-10 years. But just not to take any risk they want Ethiopia to pay the price. 3. Egyptian worry more for losing controlling power on the Nile river not the water they lose by the dam built. For over 100 years Egypt was the only powerful country that control the flow of the Nile river. But now things changed, Ethiopia also going to br another country that has power on the Nile. That is what they don't like most. Other issues like drought, Killing of millions in Egypt.. bla bla... are just used for media propaganda. But I believe Egyptian should be familiar with the facts. The GERD dam is built on a river that originated from Ethiopia, in her own natural resource. Second Egyptian should know Ethiopia increasing influence and power on the Nile is not a treat to Egypt. We, Ethiopia. And Egypt have no that much tread relationship. Politically they are not enemies, they don't even share border. so I don't c haw Ethiopian want to use their increasing influence on the Nile to control Egypt.

Water is for all people, and whoever tries to Prevent it from a brother is mentally insane and feels inferior and does not seek peace, for he is just a liar claiming peace and progress.

Do you know why?
Because they are governments that feel inferior and pitiful
I am Sudanese and I believe a new water deal that is fair to all Nile basin countries needs to happen, even if it affects our water supply. But what people don't understand is that the negotiations are not related to this specific point right now. Egypt has a very harsh desert climate and an insane population growth, so it would make sense for them to oppose this dam. In Sudan, our main problem is coordination between Ethiopia on the filling and emptying of the reservoir. Our biggest dam is less than 40kms away from the GERD, so unless there is synchronisation between the 2 governments on filling and emptying, it could have serious damaging effects on our water and electrical supplies. That is why Sudan was neutral at first to the project, but has recently been a strict opposer to the GERD after Ethiopia filled it unilaterally last July, which lead to some of the worst power cuts we have had for almost a decade as our dam went out of service.
I don't think this dam will ever be good news unless the 3 countries actually give a priority to the technical issues of the dam, rather than using it as a political tool of leverage and war.
Hopefully, I wish this ends peacefully for all 3 of us.
Why power cuts? Dont u mean water cuts? I was in egypt this past summer & experienced 2 phases of water cuts that lasted the whole day each..idk if this is because of the dam
As I said, our nearest dam is only 40kms away from the GERD. Last July when Ethiopia filled the dam unilaterally, the resorvoir of Al Roseiris dam was practically empty. Its full capacity is very small when compared to the GERD. So electricity couldn't be generated and power cuts happened. Al Roseiris is also responsible for supplying half of our country's electricity.

Ethiopia has no intension of hurting any one.we want to live with other nations in peace.
Good.=)
Thats what all nations should do.
who did everyone right why in first place Ethiopia didn't make it joint project for both water and electricity in fact Egypt in 1960s ask for this project Ethiopia will get money and constructed companies from Egypt Egypt already build dam in Tanzania will be the biggest in size
but of course Ethiopia won't love this because that will make Egypt control the Nile in fact that not something bad Egypt have great ability to lead the region Egypt best country in Africa in Management water recourse Egypt very poor in water and lands is 3rd in Africa in agriculture so Egypt have abilities
in fact also Ethiopia will gain power so what is the problem
easy answer Israel when all African stand against invasions Ethiopia start relationship with Israel why because Israel want to control Nile
so in fact it wasn't about poor people who need food and electricity
ok Egypt war with Israel end so what happened next of course tigry who lead Ethiopia started to lose power how to gain power easy answer make gaint project so all Ethiopian look at you as best government strong government and what happened in Egypt revolution in 2011 so in fact Ethiopia used Egypt weak time to escape negotiations
and what is worst why on earth you build gaint dam when you have many rivers and drought problems
so why you don't build like any other country many small dams which easy to transfer electricity to cities and villages in case of one big dam most Ethiopian villages won't have electricity because dam is so far away which need complex Electricity network but if every region have dam and every river have small dam every villages and city will have electricity
second which is most important thing million of Ethiopian dead or affect from the drought in other country like Egypt have no problem with drought because the high dam
which is water management dam in fact Without the high dam it will be impossible for Ethiopia to build the dam because if Egypt water share decreased million of Egyptian will have no job millions will be poor UN will never accept that
so my point water management dams can save Ethiopian in will make Ethiopia best country in Africa in agriculture and Ethiopia can gain alot of support from Egypt experts and companies Egypt companies is better from Chinese company because one thing
Chinese company will own your country and you can't do anything to pay thim but in Egypt case Egypt need this project Nile river need very good management which mean more water for Egypt and Nile river countries also trade Egypt is most country in the world import import wheat in fact Egypt start project to connect Nile countries by river transportation so projects like this will have great economic value in other hand the Grant dam didn't have great economic value because in first place when any one make project first thing you need to know is how this project will be against other project and now all countries start to use Egypt needs for energy Egypt want to be region energy power Egypt already have 5 times the Grant dam capacity unused
Egypt will export electricity to eroupe and gulf countries and Arab countries and Egypt start to do that
also Egypt will export gas and oil
so Egypt now support any energy project in Africa Egypt already build Tanzania dam and many small dams in kynia and also Egypt gave Congo alot support in inga dam which will produce about 80,000 megawatt 13x Ethiopian dam because one resoean Congo river flow is more than 10x the blue Nile flow so Ethiopian project have no chance against Congo river and like I said Egypt will support Congo river even Congo river will connect to Egyptian electricity network to expert electricity to eroupe which mean alot of money to congo and Egypt

The dam will vastly benefit Egypt and Sudan also for the clean energy generated will save the Ethiopian forests which are the source of the Nile waters in the first place thereby increasing the volume of the Nile waters even more. If the Ethiopian forests disappear the Nile waters will dry up anyway!
Egypt and Sudan on the other hand should be responsible enough. They ought to launch a national mega campaign to use their Nile waters wisely by planting and nurturing trees to green their vast deserts in order to create their own forests which invariably will bring rainfall, translating to more sources of water at their disposal generated within their own borders.
Ah yes the economist
They don’t realize that ecosystems have no borders, they don’t care what happens on the Ethiopian Abbay (Blue Nile), side of the water as long as the water keeps flowing.

They will store some of the water in Ethiopia, preventing the much needed water from reaching Egypt. Also, the Nile carries soil with it. As much as Egyptians need water, they also need its soil.
@@omarsabry9489 the water that to be stored at the dam will be through gradual process, not overnight. Also consider the amount of water wasted at the desert through evaporation. About the soil, I think, Egyptians stored a lot yet and this days, they need more other options than fully depending on the river.
@@omarsabry9489 The water stored in Ethiopia is not permanent. Once the reservoir behind the dam is filled up, the flow of the river will return to normal. And even IF Ethiopia wanted to horde more water, they physically can not do so, or else their reservoir would overflow. So don't worry. Once the reservoir fills up, it's filled for good, and the amount of water coming out of the Blue Nile will return to normal levels.
What Ethiopia really needs to do is to pay Egypt reparations so that they can afford to import water whilst the reservoir is being filled. I think Ethiopia will have to agree to this. If not, foreign powers will surely intervene. A crisis of this possible scale - endangering millions - would guarantee foreign aid for Egypt, and a global condemnation for Ethiopia. Ethiopia may be in a self-centered state right now, but they're not stupid enough to make the world their enemy.
As for the precious soil, I hate to break it to you, but Egypt already loses over 95% of all the sediment flowing down from the Nile river at Lake Nasser. It physically cannot pass through the Aswan Dam, and therefore it gets stuck and just builds up on the lakebed of Lake Nasser. This causes several problems. 1: Lake Nasser get shallower and less effective because the floor of the lakebed is rising, 2: The soil on the banks of the Nile downstream have lost their fertility and now require substantial amounts of chemical fertilizers to sustain their use for growing crops, and 3: The Nile River Delta, no longer fed and grown by sediment deposition, is slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea.
This is simply the problem with dams. It's inescapable.

Ethiopia has a few hydroelectric dams, this one will just be the latest and biggest of them, with the most power output.

And just a bit of an update, a few weeks after Sudan's irrigation ministry announced the 90 million cubic meters drop in the water levels, Sudan has been met with a HISTORICALLY high flood water level forcing at least a million people to leave there home and to the destruction of most of Sudanese farm lands before the crops were harvested.... which is clearly very very sad and I clearly hope for better days for Sudan, the floods hasn't stopped till to these day and the after effects of the flood is expected to last years after all the floods water reseeds ... we all have to admit its kind of IRONIC!

Millions of people are already In poverty in Cairo
Ethiopias own selfish acts will just worsern the situation which most likely lead to mass scale inmagration to eu countries
All because Ethiopias government wants more wealth
Millions are in poverty and darkness in Ethiopia. This project should uplift our brothers and sister in Ethiopia. Egypt had ample opportunities to diversify and benefit from their natural resources, but instead have made a lot of generals rich. The same generals who subjugate their own citizens.
@@topstryka ok so if this dam was built this can basically change the whole geopolitical world of Europe for good which is a negative
Simply for Ethiopians to have better lives
The average citizen of Cairo and Adiss Ababa roughly earn the same amount of income and have the same amount of quality of life yet if this dam wasade adis Ababa citizens would be wealthier living in way modern houses while those in Cairo either die or force to migrate
Also ethiopian generals are corrupt
Basically every country has corrupt generals so it doesn't apply here
I'm not Egyptian and perhaps if Egypts populas wouldnt go to extreme poverty due to the dam then I would be on ethiopias side however that's not the case
Ethiopia and Egypt are responsible for their own citizens . It would be difficult to properly quantify how this will benefit or effect the economies of these countries. It is even more difficult to forecast or anticipate the migration patterns of people. A lot easier to anticipate Ethiopia utilizing the Dam at some point. Which should have been Egypt’s national interest to mitigate, peacefully through innovation.

Don’t compare those 2 situations. 1st of all Ethiopia will never do anything that could harm egypt. All of Ethiopias rivers are tributaries of the bile. When Ethiopia built a dam before on our own river ,Egypt came and blew it up. Although it didn’t harm them in anyway. Egypt waged war on Ethiopia and tried to colonize us using somalia. Egypt intervined on our internal affairs and caused our country to break into 2. Thousands of Ethiopians are dying because of Egypt currently. They always always intervene on our countries affairs. Because of Egypt me and my family have to live with constant fear because there are armed groups that they are paying to kill people. We are building the nile because we have no choice. Everything we had that could serve as a means of development was taken away by Egypt. We have to finish the dam so all of this terror stops. They are killing us only because we are the source. If we don’t stop them then this terror wont end. They are evil people.

Egypt is ok with the dam but we're not okay with a country acting unilaterally like it owns the river completely disregarding the downstream countries and refusing to reach a binding agreement on how the dam should work not to affect the downstream fair shares.

Ethiopia has every right to build a dam , they were left out of previous agreements , it’s created jobs and power which is great considering their nations poverty rating , Egypt needs to move to solar power there’s a whole dessert right there , Sudan benefits the most fixes their flooding issues and they’ll most likely buy the surplus of energy from Ethiopia
To preface, I'm just an American who only recently learned about this issue, so I apologize if I look stupid, but this dam is supposed to be able to bring Ethiopia in the big bucks, right? So here's a plan I'd like to propose:
Step 1: Sell bonds to individuals and governments the world over until you've amassed funds equal to the value of the total water Egypt consumes in four years.
Step 2: build the dam, but construct it such that the waterflow can never be 100% shut down, so that Egypt doesn't have to worry about you ever threatening to do as much in the future.
Step 3: Pay Egypt the money they need to buy water while the dam's reservoir fills.
Step 4: Once the reservoir fills and water starts flowing into Egypt again, use the income brought in by the dam to pay back your investors.
