« The Nile is existential for many countries, not just Egypt, but also Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Nile accounts for more than 70% of the water ressources in the country.

If we rely on this huge historical injustice that allow Egypt and Sudan to use unfair waters of the Nile and if we hope that the status quo continues and that other countries can’t use the water then I don’t see where the space for compromise is. »
