Blue Nile, by ETHIOPIA

  1. They say blood is thicker than water, my question is don't we have all have the same blood? Why the fighting over water? So I can spill your blood over water? Eygpt, Yea shall be a glasshouse of Ethiopia, which she pours her water into, and quenches her thirst for your blood...

    Ethiopia bet all their future of the next generations on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Billions of dollars.

  3. Ethiopia is upriver from Egypt.

    Probable friction over water rights.

    For example.... In the 1920s, greedy politicos in Colorado sold water rights of the Colorado river to downstream communities. Picking a numerical example off the top of my head to illustrate the point... It's like the 1st 10 MM acre-feet of Colorado river flow were sold downstream. That means if there is relative drought and <10 MM acre-feet of flow, downstream gets it all and Colorado residents get none of it. If the flow were to be 11 MM acre-feet, downstream would get 10 MM and Colorado could ration whatever is left. Strange how the Colorado River originates in Colorado and we don't get to use much/any of it.

    Might see conflict similar with the Ethiopia dam and downstream users...

    The earth is not designed to cope with 6 billion people.
