Egypt is facing 15 African countries on this issue, countries it chose to ignore for a century seeing itself as middle eastern rather than African. Guess what Egypt get inline or drink water from the middle east.

This is one happened when one country got a good leader like Ethiopia and another that got corrupt puppet like sisi. One developing and another in chaos.

By the way both Egypt and Sudan have dams along the Nile, why not Ethiopia where part of Nile waters originate? are they people of a lesser god?

Egyptians should consider themselves to be extremely lucky that they are not a neighbor of the United States. Not a single drop of the international rivers that start in the US make it across the border to Mexico. The Colorado river has not flown to its historical destination, the Sea of Cortez, in decades. And Egyptians are talking smack of the Ethiopians? They should be grateful and count their blessings every day. Ethiopia sends them 86% of the water the Egyptians drink. Better be good neighbors. Stop flailing colonial papers which Ethiopians did not sign or were a part to. And they should stop talking about the ridiculous idea of historical rights. Aboriginal rights come first. The Ethiopians have aboriginal rights over their resources, as does the US, China, Turkey and anywhere else in the world. Egypt does not realize that it is rubbing upstream nations the wrong way when it repeatedly talks about its "share". Well the colonial treaty allocated water only to Egypt and Sudan. No other nation got a scoop. How is that for sophistry?
