Video Description:
In this 2-part episode we want to take a look at the Nile River in Africa. The river plays a central role for all nations trough which it flows and it forces them to cooperate. At the same time, the sharing of water can also lead to tensions. We want to focus on these two aspects by looking at two construction projects along the Nile. For one, the Aswan High Dam, one of the first and to date the largest Dam along the Nile, and the Grand Ethiopian Rennaisance Dam, which is still under construction but is already sparking a dispute.

The idea to tilt the map by 90 degrees is something I saw on the episode of "Mit offenen Karten - Ägypten ohne Nil?". I recommend it to any german or french speakers!

Further Information at the end of the video.
Some music tracks are ones we made ourselves so if you are looking for a specific track but it isn't one listed at the end of the video then that's the reason.

Why does the channel have a new name?

As you may have noticed, the channel has changed its name from "Society of Geeks" to "neo".
And to make this clear: It's not about a change of ownership, it's just taste.
When I launched the channel almost 3 years ago, I would have never thought the videos would get the attention they now have. The initial scope of the types of topics were very limited but now has expanded. The channel was thought to deal primarily with analysing films but now they have become more political. And the name should have the flexibility to fit for both aspects, as well as for any genres in the future that I can’t even think of right now.
And with this new name, it feels right to approach the next goals and really develop the channel into something exciting.
Thanks for your understanding.

Ethiopia is not poor. It has alot of resources one of them being the Nile. They need to start charging fees for the use of Nile water by Egyptians. No more free lunch.

98% of population lives in 3% of available area. That's a "wow" stat

[pritampmodak]

This is the most underated channel I have ever seen

[TravelWithEdenn]

ETHIOPIA have right to use the natural resources to electric power, done.

[debebebelaye]

the funny part is the beggar is acting as the owner, Egypt have to pay for that water.

[rasstekursew]

I think Egypt is worrying more because of loosing tons of soils which comes through the river not only the water, cause technically it'll a little bit less than it was till they finish filling the Dam

[keberemengesha]

Coffee and The Nile are The brand of Ethiopia as Boeing and Coca cola are The Brand of USA
No one can stop us using our river.

This is what we r watching stay home due to corona virus

[Roman-teoz]

Only 10% to 25% of Ethiopia’s population has electricity’s As of Egypt 🇪🇬 has 90% to 98% of it’s population has electricity so in this case I believe Ethiopia 🇪🇹 should have most of the water

[randomchannel]

Ethiopia have every right to utilize its river how ever they want it. Dont let Egypt bully you! We, Somalis support you on this one

[hopeforlife]

Egypt have nothing 🐕😤
blue Nile from Ethiopia💪🇪🇹

[hanang]

Nile start from Ethiopia and Ethiopia never use the water all life

[FunFun-gvhb]

85 percent the water came from Ethiopia I think ethiopia needs this water more than Egypt according to data Ethiopia people they have 25 percent electricity and Egypt have 95 percent.

[dennismarfo]

And Egypt still thinks the Nile belongs to them. They do as they wish with its waters for the benefit of their people but start threatening other countries who want to also help their citizens.
This is one of the most egregious forms of arrogance that I have witnessed being exhibited on the world stage.
Does Egypt btw remember how they displaced the Nubians upon building a second dam?
They care much, don't they?

Nice video just one correction. The Nile in Ethiopia is reffered to as the black nile because it is mixed with fertile soil and minerals when it meets at the border with the white nile that's the starting point of the blue nile. The minerals that flow from Ethiopia through the black nile is what makes the soil in Egypt fertile and good for irrigation.

[RamiAbdelal]

This is really well written and has great visuals, top quality.

Thank you for the video. The blue nile contribute 86.5% of water which all comes from Ethiopia.

፤Genesis ፪፥፲፫ (2_13) የሁለተኛውም ወንዝ ስም ግዮን ነው፤ እርሱም የኢትዮጵያን ምድር ሁሉ ይከብባል።
And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
