Al Jazeera: Will Egypt attack Ethiopia?

A war will likely never happen over this. Ethiopia is wasting people's time thinking they can proceed to do this without any legally binding agreement to assure all the parties involved in case of any potential problems in the future.

It's not outside the range of possibility, conflicts over controlling water resources will become more frequent in the future, since already more than 1/2 of humanity live in water stressed areas and with droughts deepening around the world, nations will become very desperate to control water sources.

The scale of this is insane as well, since 95% of Egyptians live along the Nile, and the river provides nearly all of their water, whilst the Nile has 85% of its water and most of the silts flow from Ethiopia, The seasonal floods that Egypt depends upon comes from the Ethiopian side of the flow, it's very possible they could lose up to a 1/3 of their farmland.

I'd honestly be surprised if this didn't lead to a conflict

Water scarcity will increase the amount of conflict in the future, that is undeniable, even the Nile can, and potentially will, be the cause of a lot of trouble, with increasing drought, including flood problems in other areas. I want to stress that this is, in my opinion, a future instance, not a consequence of this particular case and time.

Climate change, from what experts believe, is going to affect the agricultural output and water supply severely. This likely reality has been emphasized, though not stressed enough, nothing of great systematic and multilateral proportions have we witnessed the implementation of, as I’m aware. It doesn't take a genius to see that shit will hit the fan in the future if nothing is done.

I will not rule out any future war involving Egypt and Ethiopia. As time changes conditions, other factors will be at play, and with more insecurities, if their reliance is not alleviated they might opt for drastic measures. However, I strictly meant that I don’t believe those two countries will go to a total war within the time constraint of the dam's completion.

Could we see conflict played out in different shapes, like how border disputes between Sudan and Ethiopia are put pressure on? Yeah, but those do not constitute a war. Either way, Ethiopia, for their own good, and everybody else's should spit out a legally binding agreement. This is not how you handle a situation that has implications for millions.
 
Even though I wanted war but war is not going to happen.

This Egyptian president is like Cagjar.

He talks tough to Ethiopians but no action.
He keeps saying I will do this and that.

Well actions speak louder than words let him do it or stfu.

He only knows gow to kill his fellow Egytians.
