The agreements of 1899, 1929 and 1959 are obsolete! As it pertains to the 1929 and 59 agreements particularly, Ethiopia was excluded! Britain and later Egypt made determinations on Ethiopia's use of the Blue Nile without consulting them in the first place and now some Egyptians want to complain that THEY are being treated unfairly due to the Entebbe agreement when they were invited to the table? And they expect Ethiopia to abide by agreements they never took part in? It takes tremendous audacity, or worse, arrogance to do that. Ethiopia should at the very least examine any proposal by power-hungry Egypt, but ideally reject it. It's just a way for Egypt to gain executive power over the entire Nile system and crap on the sovereignty of upstream countries in the process.
Move on Egypt! You are stuck in a medieval state of mind, invoking colonial paper, which you call treaties. The country that contributes much of the water was not even a party to it. Move on. You look silly.
