| > Nile river is historically and from legal perspective an international river not an Ethiopian property. Violating this always comes with consequences. The Nile is an international river. All of us accept that. But you should reconsider if you think Ethiopia will accept any treaties that Egypt signed with its colonial master (without Ethiopia being present). As for consequences, We've been facing the consequences of this for all our lives in the form of food insecurity, famine, rolling blackouts. I will trade food and power for Egyptian military threats or American sanctions. So your consequences are not really that scary considering what's at stake. * There are 11 countries in the basin. Of the 11, only Egypt and Sudan are using it for any development project. * Since it's an international resource, we should all be using it. * Since Egypt and Sudan gets 100% of the benefit, they will likely see a decrease. That's the physical reality * Right now, Ethiopia gets 0%. We'll increase it. The gotcha comments don't do much to address the reality on the ground. And it's not particularly merit-worthy for me to bother going point by point "debunking" you. And we're already deep in flame-war territory which is strongly discouraged on HN. Good luck |
