An homage of colors for all the countries involved
Do you see Qatar?
DO YOU KNOW YOUR NILE BASIN COUNTRIES AND (OTHER FRIENDS)?
Our countries above are: Uganda, Tanzania, Sudan, Rwanda, Egypt, Burundi, DR Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, China, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
the nile basin initiative
An Update from the Nile Basin Initiative on the Great Dam:
“......“I urge member states to take advantage of the solution pathways that have emerged from this forum and build on the networks established. We all have a role to play in ensuring a water secure future in the Nile Basin region and making it a better place for all living beings,”
To learn more about, The Nile Basin Initiative and their role in Water Security and Scarcity
Well that escalated quickly. It appears tensions have escalated quite a bit between Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Qatar. Yup, Qatar the country that seems to ooze the kind of wealth, we mere mortals could not even imagine because we are poor and useless.
“Yo! Keep your shit far away from us, because we have our own problems
”
Before we go any further, did you read the first part? Catch up
So, Ethiopia is still not giving any $%&*@, they are going through with their Grand Renaissance Dam. This is the Ethiopia that is admired, take no bull approach to fighting for their narratives and spaces. I should also point out here that Ethiopia is doing exactly what China does to feed all those billions of folks at home. To understand some of the woes, read below on China re-creating dams and redirecting Water and the impact of this to India.
The difference between Ethiopia and China would be the openness to discuss all issues related to the dam
IS THE DAM REALLY THAT BAD OF AN IDEA?
There were initially concerns from Egypt and Sudan that the creation of the Dam will take away from sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing, but Sudan is now on “Team Great Dam” as you read from our last post.
Sudan has played the role of mediator between Egypt and Ethiopia. I should point out Sudan has signed quite a few deals with Ethiopia and stands to benefit from tremendous hydroelectric power.
“We do not want your dam, it poses Water Security issues ”
From the Genesis of the Dam to current day, Egypt has made it clear, it does not want the creation of this dam. It does not want to halt building the damn, it simply wants to scrap it away. Egypt has gone as far, has threating to start a war with Ethiopia over the dam.
The talks between Egypt and Ethiopia is just.....
“99 Problems but a Dam ain’t one”
THERE IS JUST TO MUCH GOING ON......
Sudan and Egypt have trust issues that are all centered on the ongoing South Sudan War. President Omar al-Bashir has the belief that Egypt gives weapons to South Sudan tthat keeps the war going.
COLONIAL COMPLICATIONS & FALSE LABELS
Egypt and Sudan have issues at home and in West Asia or the "Middle East".
“I have a dream one day, continents will be judged for their continent status and not political relationships. West Asia not Middle East
”
So you recall that Saudi Arabia and Friends cut diplomatic ties with Qatar because of their support for terrorism. All soughts of irony and it would be funny if the B.S was not getting people killed.
Do you know this ABBA SONG......
SAUDI ARABIA & SUDAN
BUT IN 2014....
SUDAN & QATAR
Qatar clearly wants to know Sudan more with that $70 million "investment" to Sudan.
Hala'ib Triangle
This is another big issue between Egypt and Sudan that has lasted from 1899-Current Day
“OH GOD, WHY IS IT THIS MESSY???”
Just watch
BACK TO SUDAN AND SAUDI
It is fair to conclude that it very awkward between Saudi and Qatar with repect to Sudan and Egypt.
Sudan is playing or trying to play mediator between Saudi Arabia and Qatar…
“Oh SHIT this is to funny, I am in tears. You see the problems with labels and how they confuse folk?”
But
“One of my parents once told me not to ever confuse tolerance with acceptance.
Sudan that comment was for you…
Bashir you don’t have the Madiba Effect or Diplomacy, so sit DOWN….Wait are you not suppose to be in the international court???….
You are not a Arab Brother because of a language and a religion is....YOU ARE AFRICAN , AFRICAN BEFORE ANYTHING”
SUDAN AND EYGPT (PETTINEESS)
Sudan has banned all agriculture and animal imports to Egypt
Egypt has banned sudan journalist and Sudan has place travel restrictions.
THE SECOND POINT OF THE DAM MADNESS: CHINA
It seems like the norm to any development in Africa must include China. China spotted $1.2 billion to Ethiopia but still the country seems to be pulling off the unimaginable. The Dam still has a way to go, it takes 5-10 years for a full dam to operate.
SO WHY WOULD EGYPT THINK ETHIOPIA GOT FUNDING FROM QATAR?
.......Ethiopia denies receiving funding from Qatar to build The Renaissance Dam
EGYPT AND THREATS
“Egypt president Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi issued a stern warning to Ethiopia over the mega dam saying “water is a matter of life or death.” and that “No one can touch Egypt’s share of water.””
Until next Mulday or if the Dam is destroyed
