  2. Ethiopia contribute 86.4 percent of the Nile water, the rest comes from other East African nations, can someone tell me one thing Egypt contributes to the Nile River ? Just one thing? ዐ.ዐ . Except using and abusing the water 💦 and the source countries and its people? I wonder if Egyptians ever thought what if the Nile River dried up naturally? Then what?

  3. Let's return to Colonial times. Let Britain colonize Egypt and Sudan again.
    That is how General Alsissi of Egypt and Sudanese General Alburhan think towards Ethiopia and upstream African countries by sticking to colonial water treaties.
    Should Egyptians and Sudanese become slaves of white colonialusts again?
    Egyptian politicians believe Africans in upstream countries should get Egyptian permission to use their own God-Given water resource that originates within their own borders thousand KMs away from Egypt. Is that stupidity or evil selfish Superiority complex?

  5. 1. Which international law is violated by building the dam?
    2. The water hits the turbines and flows down to Sudan and Egypt without restriction.
    3. The dam is beneficial to Egypt and Sudan as well. They need to be grateful to Ethiopia.
    4. All the reparian countries need to share the waters of this grate river fairly without being greedy and selfish.
    5. Congratulations to Ethiopia and Africa at large.
