Egypt and Saudi arabia in conflict with Ethiopia on the Nile Dam

[GaraadMon]

Sudan backed off because they realized that the positive effects downstream from the dam outweigh the negatives. Why can't Egypt look in to the actual impact of the dam rather than blindly claiming supremacy over the Nile? This goes far beyond Ethiopia and has nothing to do with concerns over reduced flow rates.

Yes the sudanese refused to give the Egyptians and the Saudis a base to launch an attack right now saudi diplomats are trying to find a solution to bring sudan on board

The fact that Somalis can't set aside their dislike of Ethiopia for just a moment, so they consider why Arabs from as far away as Saudi Arabia are getting involved in this, is astonishing.

Let Somali galbeed people fight for their region and free it from the Habeshi colonization the other Somalis in the horn should just assist it with political and financial support. Oba hiloowle Somalia already gave up on Somali galbeed the day they restored relations with Addis ababa

Sudan is smart, they're going to continue to benefit from these dam projects through the power interconnection between them and Ethiopia. Egypt however has never had to actually negotiate with a sub-Saharan nation before, the concept of compromising with a black African country is laughable to them.

Black flash sudan is playing them both the dam doesn't technically effect Sudan they have nothing to lose, also sudans relations with saudi arabia isn't that well, because bashir asked king abdullah to come and mediate between south sudan and sudan. The saudis rejected it and said let the qataris do it , bashiir is still angry because of that.

It affects Sudan positively, the excess electricity from the smaller dams is already being sold to Sudan at a cheap cost. Sudan may be playing games, but at least they're willing to compromise.
