摘要
The Nile river is the lifeblood of Egypt. It has supported over 90% of the country’s population for centuries. Considering this, I don’t think you’d be surprised to hear that protecting the Nile river is by far one of Egypt’s top priorities. Over the past several decades, Egypt has struck numerous deals and contracts with neighboring countries to protect the Nile for Egypt. Here’s the thing, even though Egypt is one of the most northern countries in Africa, they have to be extremely careful when it comes to the Nile because the Nile actually flows south to north. So, multiple countries could affect how much water actually ends up getting to Egypt. One of these countries is Ethiopia which has made Egypt extremely anxious over the past decade. Ethiopia has been building a massive dam dubbed the GERD dam. This dam will allow Ethiopia to generate absurd amounts of electricity using the Nile river. However, this also threatens the amount of water that reaches Egypt. Egypt has put up several obstacles to the dam over the past decade, but given that the GERD dam is already being filled, it’s clear that Ethiopia has come out on top. This video explains the evolution of the GERD dam and the perspectives of Egypt and Ethiopia regarding its construction and use.
