Watch for the Nile water dispute to develop into something big. Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood govt. will most likely make trouble for the largely non-Muslim Ethiopia by funding and supporting the islamist rebels there who are plaguing the government of Ethiopia. By now we know that's the modus operandi in whichever corner of the globe their number increases to that magic percentage. If the wikipedia link above is to be believed, then in less than 15 years from 1994 to 2007, the muslim population in Ethiopia has almost doubled. If not for the Protestants more than doubling their number too, then the muzzies would have been close to almost 40% of the population.
I am willing to bet right here and now that funds from both Egypt and Libya must have already been flowing to the rebel gangs in Ethiopia and that is why caliphated Egypt is now flexing her muscles, making threats and beating the war drums because they know they already have an army of terrorists inside Ethiopia.
Ethiopia has as much rights to the Nile waters ... in my opinion, even more so, because the Blue Nile which starts from Ethiopia actually merges with the waters we know as the Nile river, making that body larger and giving Egypt and Sudan their main water supply. So, without a doubt they have every right to build a dam to access the water flowing inside their own country. Why is it that difficult for the caliphated Egypt to understand that simple fact which even a two year old would easily comprehend?
Both vids below are from about a year ago.
From Reuters:
Egypt's foreign minister, vowing not to give up "a single drop of water from the Nile", said on Sunday he would go to Addis Ababa to discuss a giant dam that Ethiopia has begun building in defiance of Cairo's objections.
Speaking to Egypt's state news agency MENA two days after the Ethiopian government flatly rejected a request from Cairo to halt the project, Mohamed Kamel Amr said Egyptians view any obstacle to the river's flow as a threat to national survival.
"No Nile - no Egypt," he said, highlighting the pressure on the Egyptian government, whose popularity is wilting in the face of economic troubles, to prevent the hydro power plant cutting already stretched water supplies for its 84 million people.
Last week, Ethiopia summoned the Egyptian ambassador after politicians in Cairo were shown on television suggesting military action or supporting Ethiopian rebels - a mark of the threat felt in Cairo from the plan to dam the Blue Nile, the tributary that supplies the bulk of water downstream in Egypt.
"Egypt won't give up on a single drop of water from the Nile or any part of what arrives into Egypt from this water in terms of quantity and quality," Amr told MENA, noting that Egypt has little rain and is effectively desert without its great river....
