BS and fearmongering. In order to produce electricity they must release water. The Nile already has multiple Dams.
Drought is inevitable Egypt should build Storage Tanks and Water Towers.
Egypt should build desalination plants at least as a backup.
Egypt's fear and aggression is the real problem.
Electricity production and more water storage upriver can be a good thing, if water management professionals coordinate the water releases. Keep the warmongers out of it.
Ethiopia should not test the patience of the Egyptians any more, because this dam threatens Egyptian national security and exposes the Egyptian people to the danger of death.
Stop the who get paid by Pharoah
Ethiopia is the king of Nile
Hello guys,
86.4% of Blue Nile river is starting from great Ethiopia okay( so Ethiopia have fully right to use the river)
Nile river is not only for Egypt
Hypocrisy why are you talking about Ethiopia dumb and you're not talking about water which eventually go to the Mediterranean Sea day-by-day Africa is running short of fools and the sooner the Arabs and the caucasians the better for them they will teach their children how to work hard because working spot was a game of stealing from the African continent which will not happen anymore more 😊
Why does Egypt allow the river to flow into the Mediterranean Sea? The sea doesn't need the fresh flow. Egypt must organise itself. Ethiopia has 100 percent rights to its part of the river. Kenya and other upstream states must maximise on the water before releasing it to downstream states. Egypt must support conservation efforts upstream
Take the water from the Red Sea and cream the sort my
done by other Arab Nations
No compromise on the dam I'm supporting Ethiopia hundred percent regardless how many Media you're going to support all go to pay water harvesting in Ethiopia is a must
Dams do not destroy rivers. Lol. Ethiopia s forecast has plenty of rain in it. This is propaganda 💡
Why isnt lake tana NOT mentioned!!?… lake tana IS the Nile, if lake Victoria is the only and main source of the Nile this would not at all be a topic! It’s just disappointing especially being that this is coming from ABC news. & it definitely shows how one sided this is becoming. completely misleading, and flat out lying about facts, please don’t miseducated people! But in all I hope a peaceful alternative is found being that the talk of war is mentioned and it really bothers me that a country is one of the poorest in the world & that has seen much much famine is being threatened at all for having one single toe on the path to growth!
Fake news. Ethiopia is getting plenty of rain lol 👍🏽💡💡
Has Egypt been the bully in the region? Then it wouldn't be surprising if the countries upstream were to close the tap as revenge
Like if Palestine could cut off the water to Israel
Entire world is WAY over populated.
the question for Ethiopia is whether they can build electrical energy from other places such as solar power why should they destroy the Nile
Nile rever is a precious gift of Ethiopia from God not from Great Britain, no more selfishness , its can't work , Ethiopia have a right of what ever doing on their own country on their resources, this is a hydroelectric power generation dam it is not an Indian ocean or Mediterranean ocean, please this is nothing to do with Ethiopian dam. Egypt can use underground water resources if this dam affects but I am too sure there is nothing going to be happen ,Egypt must pay for the water resources to those source of nile countries, nothing is free to go,
You are an Evil. Fake news ,fake evil scientist Egypt has been careless for century..unable to save water and you western encouraging Egypt to distroy tothe dam. If Egypt bomb the dam, Ethiopia has no choice to reroute the Nike or destroy the mountains contribute the BlueNile river that deprive peace in Ethiopia for 100 years.No more BlueNile.we all die together unless respect BlueNile is an Ethiopian River,find a mutual sustainable solution for the next generation..pump the Mediterranean Sea water to Egypt desert land so nature can declinate for future generations thus creat forest
Egypt is the gift of the Nile. But the Nile is a gift of Ethiopia, which discharges 90% of the stream flow into the Nile. The White Nile is statistically insignificant, as much of it is lost on the way. That is the fact on the ground. Egyptian politicians are really a piece of work, drama-prone, and quite pathetic. They should be grateful that a nation sends them water, for free. All their drama will net them nothing, but more dams upstream of GERD. Go Ethiopia!
Lmfao Egyptian Cleopatra was Black. Lmfao Egyptians are black. Lmfao
Water wars expected in upcoming year's. 🙏 Climate change.
Herotadus called it the gift of the Nile. That was over two thousand years ago
This started years ago. This is not new info. Ethiopia built a dam. Pissed alot of people off.
everybody just needs to invest in desalination at his point… i get it is expensive and is an energy suck but if we drinking all the sea water the levels cant rise lmaooooooooooo
Sudan number one

You need to get your facts right. Do some research before you report on your fake media .
It's going to be biblical.
Egypt doesn't have a water crisis, they have a population crisis.
Stop ✋️ having babies 👶.
"Flows upstream" Really?
IF YOU VOTE AWAY THE DAMNED THE RAIN WILL BLESS EGYPT AGAIN. THE BLESSED BELIEVE IN THE WOMAN'S WOMB.
