@@Nahyad8 It might be another issue, but it is related to the GERD issue. Sudan and Egypt have the upper hand since Eth is weak.

​@@mr.cannon2973 So we need to use it for hydro power , that needs a dam, I guess

Well said I was gone say that

You can say that for me as well

Dams that Egypt build won't affect other countries because Egypt is the last country on the nile and Sudan only builds small dams that don't affect the nile flow but Ethiopia is at the beginning of the Nile so the dams that it will build will affect other countries especially the dam Ethiopia is building got a reservoir of 74B cubic meter which will heavily affect Sudan and Egypt

@@mr.cannon2973 don't they have a responsibility to ask ETHIOPIA ...86% of the water comes from ETHIOPIa.... egypt and sudan divided to themself with out any drop of water or contribution to the river ??? Yes ETHIOPIA is building a Dam on Abay river for electricity which means the water continues to flow to their land..... Egypt knows this dams is not going to affect them they have enough reserve water on aswan dam.what they really mean by BINDING AGREEMENT is to STOP ETHIOPIA future development for irrigation electricity drinking water on contributory river on Abay river ....

@mariandona fellaindinho Either you are mis-informed or spreading lies. This is Hydro Electric, not irrigation project. Egypt and Sudan are arm twisting Ethiopian to sign old colonial water sharing agreement which gives 70% to Egypt and 30% to Sudan which leaves Ethiopia with 0%.

The issue is not about water volume. The issue is Control. Control over operation of the dam in particular. This means trying to became primary beneficiary of a project without having invested or at least cheered the project. That's the issue. Not about today, meaning Volume, but about tomorrow..

@@mekurish no it is sudans water is now lower

@i am who i am Fun Facts: 1.Ethiopia has installed Air & ground defense systems around the Dam. So it’s untouchable 2.Egypt got no weapons that could effectively destroy the Dam with one strike. If you’re relaying on your Rafale are absolutely useless here 3.Between Egypt and the Grand Renaissance Dam there is 1400 kilometers distance and your missiles can reach only 1300 km. 4. The Grand Renaissance Dam is 1800 meters long, 1800 meters high, 10 million cubic meter thick. So it’s technically impossible for Sisi to do anything! And as usual we will build and fill the Dam and Sisi will keep talking 🤷🏽‍♀️

@i am who i am Egypt got Dam’s too so I recommend Sisi to come down from the high horse and accept the hierarchy restored by nature! The Nile springs under the feet of the Real Pharaoh! He ain’t the phallus in the Nile Basin landscape.

Again unbelievable level of confidence that is generally out of touch with reality. Well relax you will be fine because we will make a deal and you will sign. If you still want keep this nonsense talk about some how owning the Nile and not accepting the deal, well I guess there is not much to talk about. What really bugs me is at least half of you writing comments probably live outside of Ethiopia because your country is in all out war right now and Sudan have joined arms with us. So again really unrealistic high confidence even though you are really one step away from things going really bad, and they will if you keep this attitude so you should come back to your senses soon.

@@abdosoliman Take it or leave it, we will sign nothing. The Dam will be filled and we will see what you guy’s wanna do about it 😂 We are hoping you strike seriously, we’re tired of all the noises and negotiations Ps. And let Sudan be our problem, they will experience their own wonders and above all don’t interfere in our internal issues. That’s definitely not your problem 😂

During the reign of Dictator Mangistu in 1976, Egyptian intelligence blew up the equipment of the Ethiopian dam in the sea before it arrived. Ethiopia could not respond. In 1978, Egypt supported Somalia in its conquest of Ethiopia until it captured the entire east of the country and reached 40 kilometers from Addis Ababa. In 1991, Egypt supported Eritrea's independence against Ethiopia and supported it militarily in its victory in 1998, and currently we support the separatist Tigray and Oromoa war, all of this, and Ethiopia was unable to respond or do anything to Egypt.🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬💪 And soon the dam will get destroyed ^^
