Dear Ethiopia…

In response to Ethiopia’s love letter to Egypt about the GERD, an Egyptian explains why the Nile is of vital necessity to the country.

The Nile for #Egypt is a matter of life and death. Is it too much for Egypt that hosts 20% of the Nile Basin countries’ population, with 97% of its land as desert, to benefit from only 3 % of the Nile.

Two factors, geography and climate, can neither can be disputed nor dismissed. The Nile basin in #Egypt is mostly rainless, while its southern parts and the highlands of #Ethiopia experience heavy rains.
97% of Ethiopia is green.

The worst example of colonialism is when one power controls and denies others their basic water rights.

Shifting debate to Egypt’s military budget & “informal economy” will not help build good relations between #Egypt and #Ethiopia. Neither our informal economy nor our military budget can be converted to cubic meters of extra water supplies.

#Egypt established Water Resource Plan in 2017 with the aim of safeguarding and optimising our water resources, including water-saving tapes in mosques, desalinization, but all those efforts are not enough to offset the GERD‘s filling period.

Astonishing how #Ethiopia
mentioned the High Dam in its formal reply to UNSC!

Comparing #GERD project with Egypt’s High Aswan Dam misses the stark reality that our High Aswan Dam did NOT affect any other country.
