    Ethiopia's Sovereignty as a nation and the right to use its God-given natural resources to benefit its people has to be respected by Egypt and other nations. Though we have tons of natural resources to take care of the need of our growing population, for so many years, Ethiopia's government have stood by and watched its people suffer form the lack of electricity which could hve better lives and enable us to modernize our country. Now Ethiopia is waking up and doing the long everdue project Egypt should support and diplomatically and financially and ask Ethiopia to construct the dam in such a way it benefits both countries. Egypt has benefited from Blue Nile for decades and gave nothing in return to Ethiopia. Threats of war has never shaken us and it never will, Egypt should not knows who Ethiopians are!

    50 countries are behind Ethiopia excluding Israel, China, Russia, even USA whom Ethiopia helped her in war in terror by dismantling Alquid terrorists in East Africa, so Egypt should calculate the catastrophic consequence which definitely follow them. Without 3rd world war, imagine what will follow when Aswan is hit by the destroyer, think also if it is spoiled by chemicals.

    • Egypt: 'Water War' Over the Nile River Won't Happen

      Ethiopian Radio and Television Agency (Addis Ababa), 13 June 2013

      "It is high time for Egypt to appreciate that the Nile is not Egyptian, but an African river. Egypt should not issue empty threats of war, but endorse Ethiopia's dam programme and work together with Sudan and South Sudan to ensure its full potential is realised. More than any other gesture in international politics, this would mark a return of Egyptian statesmanship and pave the way for a future ...
