I support the Ethiopian government. Hopefully they’ll send some left over energy to Somalia
Egypt needs water from the Nile to survive as a country. Their entire agriculture system is dependent on it. Ethiopia can setup their dam but Egypt will go to war over it. I say we stay out of this fight and see what happens.
Ethiopia isn't supported by powerful nations. China and Israel both support Egypt more. Israel has strong economic ties to Egypt and China is building their new capital. Ethiopia is just a cumbucket to China just like Kenya and Zambia. Not to mention the US supports Egypt.I think Egypt will learn the hard way that Ethiopia is supported by too many powerful nations for them to get away with bombing the damn. Correct me if I'm wrong but the dam is financed by China, and Israel, two nations who don't care about Egypt.
We Somali's have been trying to get those fuckers for centuries, but they always ask their Christian daddies for back up.

Ethiopians are financing it themselves... There's a reason why the world bank, China, and other foreign countries avoided funding it.Who do you think is financing the dam project? You think they would take kindly to billions of dollars being wasted?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Ethiopia, especially since they're occupying western Somalia.
if Ethiopia crumbles the Oromo qoxoonti will overwhelm Somalia because Somalia or Somali people have big territory but not enough population so not a good ideaHope ethopia crumbles. Still waiting on that day. Might come soon.

If this dam doesn't work for them then they have more reason to dam the rivers that lead to Somalia. They would have less reason to do so if this works because they would have enough electricity for the country and to sellDon’t care about either country tbh but if you support ethiopia damming the nile then you’re basically supporting them damming jubba and shabelle rivers as well since both rivers come from ethiopia which would negatively affect many Somalis
The GERD is mainly for electricity, not irrigation as the surrounding area is very rocky. Whereas the dams on Jubba and Shabelle are intended for irrigation, not electricity since they're surrounded by flat land suitable for large agriculture projects (hence the Amhara settlers in Ogaden). This means that water will be consumed in the long-term rather than simply the filling period.If this dam doesn't work for them then they have more reason to dam the rivers that lead to Somalia.
