The $5 Billion Mega Dam Creating Tension on the Nile

- The world's eyes are on Ethiopia and the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Egypt could lose the water that's the lifeblood of the Nile. Sudan could end up flooded. And China could gain much from Ethiopia's construction loan. Just how big of a wave can a single dam really make?

The GERD is not just a dam. It is a national pride for us.
The river comes from Ethiopia and so it is Ethiopia's right to use its water. Egypt has no place to threaten a sovereign country for using what's in its own territory.
This will be a test of the AU's legitimacy more than anything and will make it obsolete if it does anything other than side with Ethiopia.
Go ahead Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Your people cannot suffer just because someone downstream wants to gatekeep water. My country Kenya 🇰🇪, is one of the leading suppliers of water into Lake Victoria, and thus the Nile, yet we have little or no say on how water is used. However, the filling of the dam should be done reasonably to allow Sudan and Egypt to plan well for a reduced volume during the refill. Provide drinking water to your people, use water for irrigation and supply electricity to your people and neighbours. We are ready to expand our trade with you as you use the Port of Lamu! Peace 🇰🇪💙🇪🇹✌🏿 🕊️
Egypt drill gas and sale to the world, Egypt charges for Suez Canal, Egypt build Dam in river nile, do they actually consult Ethiopia or allow Ethiopia to investigate or share the wealth with Ethiopia..
👏👏👏
Egypt has 98% of its population with access to drinking water, while in Ethiopia, only 13% of the population has the same access. Additionally, 100% of Egypt's population has access to electricity, compared to only 52% in Ethiopia. If Egypt threatens to use military force rather than share the water from Ethiopia equitably, it is unwise. No Ethiopian will stand by and watch that happen.
There is no way Ethiopians will share their own resources forever! At the moment we have enough water for all but tomorrow it’s upto our children
Egypt doesn't bring anything to the table when it comes to the Nile river, but still like to act like they own all the water of this river. There are no lakes nor rivers in Egypt that contribute water to the Nile river, so Egyptians should humble themselves and let countries that actually contribute to this river use it to improve their lives.
It is like you can not access to your own wifi😂😂😂
😂
🇪🇹Ethiopia has every right to self-realize.
Nile River belongs to Ethiopia they have right to build 10 Dams 85 percent of the water source starting from Ethiopia no one can stop them support Ethiopia 🇪🇹 development
But, did you know? around 50% of Ethiopian live with out electric energy.so it's our important megaproject.
The absurd thing is Egypt wants Ethiopia to sign a binding agreement that will ensure Egypt gains the same amount of water it has gained since the 1959 colonial agreement was signed between Egypt and Sudan. This means if drought was to happen, Ethiopia will be obliged to give the water that's accumulated in the GERD's reservoir to Egypt so that the amount of water Egypt used to get continues. Indirectly, this means Egypt is forcing Ethiopia to make the dam an insurance for Egyptian security in expense of Ethiopian national interest. Egypt can not coerce Ethiopia into doing that. Hence, it's supporting Eritrea and Somalia to create a proxy war.
Egyptians are delusional
Ethiopia !
Nobody made this much noise when 🇸🇩Sudan built a dam on the Nile that faces 🇪🇬Egypt which has "safety" issues like any other manmade structure. This is about holding the rise of 🇪🇹Ethiopia and other African countries. It has nothing to do with justice or ⚖️fairness. 😏
Cooperation is recommended for everyone sake, but Egypt is insane for letting their population grow to 100 million plus without securing a better fresh water source or plan B. You can’t completely rely on a river that starts flowing from FAR outside your border and throw a fit when the major source country actually uses the river for their own development. Imagine The U.S threatening to go to war over a river that starts in Brazil and flows north 😂 (silly)
Let them introduce family planing and get some contraceptives .
@@gebremariam85😂😂😂😂😂
Ethiopia has a right to develop any natural resources found within their borders,no country can put restrictions on how they use them.
Water not natural resources it's shard from god and there's law for international river Ethiopia want create illegal policy to cut and sell water but Ethiopia unstable country and can loose more than expected
Exactly 👍
But your young president is crazy,he want to make war with Somalia, offering Egypt an opportunity to destabilize Ethiopia and even destroying the damn.
Egypt already sent F16 to Somalia and many militaries but your Ethiopian president still think that he can win.
No
@@mohammadalnasri4413 who are you to say no?they are developing it what will you do?
Sudan will gain more than it loses from this Dam(1)
Egypt knows this dam will let the water flow in a much controlled way that would ensure proper and efficient flow of water in both winter and summer(2)
Ethiopia will gain it's a geopolitical advantage in this east african region(3)
Let me know when you figured out why Egypt is so afraid of this grand project⁉️
They are not really afraid of this dam, they know though that this is just the start. Also, the military junta in Egypt want a conflict to sway attention from local financial failures and lack of democracy.
Nothing more less than a nonsense talk here . Ethiopia is the mother of Africa . It needs even to build 3 dams like the GERD . Egypt has Aswan + 3 other major huge dams built . They have the Red Sea and the Mediterranean . Just follow the rules of Israel to use that water unless , don’t complain about 1,000 mile away water stuff .
let Sudan and Egypt control 10% of the water. That will keep them busy arguing with eachother, while Ethiopia still gets all the value , and less of the bickering 😉
10% of which Nile and that’s not what Egypt wants they want to have a say on the management of the dam which can never be alllowes
Egypt is a gift of Nile . well known sayings throughout the Egyptian . This means Nile is not the curse of Ethiopia and upstream countries. Now is the time for Egypt to and Egyptian to understand that all upstream countries are source of Nile . The source is by far better right than the gift of the source .
Only way for Egypt.. collaborat with Ethiopia and other countries who contributing water to Nile river....not hostilities and and not by destabilizing the region... Ethiopia forward 🇪🇹🇪🇹✊🇪🇹
In regard to the Nile waters, talking about the 85% water from Ethiopia's lands and streams, it's under the full rights and obligations of the Ethiopian government to develop any resources of this bilical land in order to light the country and raise its people from poverty. Ethiopians are always ready to talk about WATER SHARE cooperations. However, the Ethiopian people and government are not treasury or banks of any foreign states to sign any binding agreement while developing our hydro dams without harming lower reparian countries. Zero harm but better management of fresh-water resources using the investment of the Ethiopian people. These are facts.
Taking the dam issue to the UN again and again , even a thousand times, doesn't make Egypt right.✌️🇪🇹🇪🇹😢
86.5%water is flowing from Ethiopia.
Ethiopia has right to use their own Natural resources for Economic development no one any Country can not tell for another Country do not use your natural resources.
Egypt must understand their right and Ethiopia right.
If they don't understand their own problem.
If they are worried about it the water the must stop building mega city development.
Egypt: but I’ve been using allll the water for hundred of years for free so pls don’t make me thirsty now
Ethiopia: Sounds like a personal issue 😒 byeee
It is THEIR river, completely within THEIR borders; the water is THEIRS to do what they want with it. Let them thrive, let their country bloom.
Ethiopia can do whatever it likes with the Nile and its source. If it means anything we will go defend our brothers in Ethiopia. The Arabs need to understand they don’t own the Nile and its tributaries.
The Dam construction is solely budgeted by the people of Ethiopia because everyone sided with Egypt depraving Ethiopia of any loan sources. Make a correction. Chinese are our best friends but they didn't wanna upset Egypt rejecting the financing directly or indirectly.
Stop blubbering, its Ethiopia’s birth right to use the Dam.
Ethiopian has all the right to build Dam 💯💯
Abbay Dam the soluation of human life
The dam is not in the rift system. The Ethiopian Rift Valley is too far from where the dam is built.
Superpower...Ilike the sound of that🤔
Ethiopians: we are sovereign over the waters and rivers within our country
Egyptian: Okay, then don't let any water from your river flow into Egypt. Save it and don't let it flow until your country is submerged by your water.😅
Smartest Egyptian
Including the fertile soil and minerals in the Nile
Rights start with obligations and contributions. What contributions does 🇪🇬Egypt have to the Nile?!🤨 Zero!👌😏
Ethiopia did not borrow from China to build the dam. China had a small part in supplying equipment for dam construction.
Ethiopia is rising, Egypt deprived as from development by inciting internal conflict and harboring any opponent's now all Egyptian attempt to break Ethiopia failed!!!
Rightnow also Ethiopia perfectly accessing lost sea access because of Egyptian sabotage
They saporeted Eritrean secessionists to make Ethiopia land locked and poor
Ethiopia is rising!!!!
Egyptians propagandist
Ethiopia is the source of the Nile River more than 86 %contrbut to the river, but Egypt has 0% contribution. Ethiopia has a right to build an electric dam for its citizens millions of people do have not electricity, and Egypt doesn't want to see any infrastructure on their land and rivers. This is unacceptable
Don’t Egypt should always remember that they always drink water from their masters Ethiopia. We Ethiopians been at war with Egypt since civilization
Egypt does not contribute a drop of water , yet they want all the water that comes from Ethiopia . How on earth do they think guys ? Ethiopia has every right to use its water within its borders!
saviour of nile river military training with sudan on the border, now With somalia, Sisi Egypt playing childish game,
If Egypt tries to use force, and Ethiopians poison the Dam with nuclear waste, who will suffer😂?
It's also precedent for future dams
Interesting engineering not correct for saying 4 billion cubic water loss due to evaporation bcs of the dam, Ethiopia actually more green and a source of many rivers that's why Ethiopia called the water tower of Africa for that reason Egypt's dams losses more water than Ethiopia's GERD dam. GERD can hold more water and reduce evaporation bcs it holds the most water that could be lost in the Sahara desert inside Egypt.
The least you can do is show the actual Dam
CFA CFA CFA ( Cooperative Framework Agreement) that’s IT
You can be quite sure that the poor won't see an iota of the profits.
the concept of evaporation presented here is misleading. wherever the water is stored there always be evaporation! but the truth is evaporation is much less in Ethiopia compare to Sudan or Egypt, where there is higher temperature.
Yuck. Propaganda.
Why don't you ask Egypt dump
ETHIOPIA IS NOT A COUNTRY,IT IS DONE,IT IS REGIONS THE NEWEST 9 😢😢😢COUNYRY IN THE WORLD

BLACK LION !
God bless Ethiopia ❤ time for Ethiopia to use Nile river if Egypt wants water they should pay to Ethiopia there is no free meal in this world Egypt 😂 use red sea same like Algeria 😅Egypt
Lithium is next
Why not just commit to nuclear energy..
We will build more dams and use it as much as we want
because = AFRICA IS PLAYING A COLD GAME🥶 + the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement is a thing now.
West Africa : [⚡💡🔋🔌] = oil + nuclear energy . Francophone countries have the premium "yellow cake". Russia will be contracted to get SME to UN countries.
Southern Africa :[⚡💡🔋🔌] = oil and natural gas. They are in plans to build a circular pipeline.. cross border.
East Africa : [⚡💡🔋🔌] = oil and hydropower
What a terrible whatever this is. Are you picturing Ethiopia 🇪🇹 bad for the world or your talking tension between 2 countries? You should be ashamed!!
Listening Aksumite Was Colonies Romanian And Greek and Egypt Was Power Full For The World Ok Don’t Greek And Romanian Was Slevees Of Aksumite Kkk They Don’t Want That Was European Hits History Pharaoh And Egypt Cover And Under African Country But Lairf Is Not Work
First
I'd like to thank Interesting Engineering, the RUclips Subscriptions tab, every other subscriber for being slow AF, and my mom cause she's the best
Egypt have over 140m ppl and the nile is ther survival egypt have every right to take action for ther survival A.S.a.P if the united nations Dont 😊
Really😂 ETHIOPIA 💪
Somalia has 20 million ppl what are you gonna go when Ethiopia blocks the genale dawa and wabe shebele which account for over 90 percent of your fresh water 😂😢
Egypt are not populated like Ethiopia and there is nothing they can do, Ethiopia will complete the Dam and block gentle dawa from Somaliya so that you all gona know who is Ethiopia
We gonna build 2 additional hydropower dams soon 😅
😂😂😂😂 did they try family planning though? Where do you want Ethiopia to take their people?! Ethiopia should build more dams, provide water and electricity to its people. Sell extra to Kenya. We support them. ❤
We don’t ask any country permission to use our own resources we will pay any price to protect our country 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🩸🩸
