Diplomatic row breaks out between SouthSudan & Ethiopia

[waraabe]

Exactly, it's been all of these Sub-Saharan rivers that have been feeding them all this time:

They should invest and do some reading on coastal hydropower, regardless the expense. S-Saharan Africa doesn't need to stop and go when the Arabs say so.

True, Egypt is dependent on military aid from the USA for being cucks for Israel. They aren't a military power and Ethiopia can take them on with China's help

They probably won't even do anything, they'll have to tip toe around reality as this thing is nearly complete and move on.

I remember the day south sudan got their independence.I was at footscray with my mom doing some atheeg and all these south sudanese people were celebrating and waving their flags around like crazy.It was around july 2011 and the people seemed soo optimistic,it's such a shame that they have been plagued with the same disease as us.

Their previous leader John Garang was a visionary leader, he never wanted independence but a power sharing agreement. He use to that he is a Sudani but not a Muslim nor an Arab. If he didn't die in that airplane crash, South Sudan wouldn't have seceded.

Don't listen this habashi, he works for his government, Prof. K. Menkhaus on Ethiopia damming up the Shabelle & Juba rivers.

They killed him for that reason, it was not accident.

The Shabelle naturally dries up nearly every year anyway.

Dams can have a positive impact on water flow anyway, hence why there are always flood risks associated with it, depending on how the water is controlled and released. I don't expect you to know much about it^.

This is a classic tale of what happens when incompetence, treachery and greed are all fused together.

The TPLF had the greatest opportunity when it came to power courtesy of Somalis, to ally with them, but instead paranoia took over and they did the opposite designating them as their number 1 enemy.

From there on, it was only matter of time before they fell, its simply not possible to fight on so many fronts, their paranoia got them to beef their former buddies in Eritrea, now it's South Sudan, Egypt one still exists, and they even managed to beef the American's and UAE as well.

The only reason they made great strides in Ogaden was the discovery of oil, otherwise that region would still be in turmoil and neither would they have invested a single dime, it was just sheer luck and pressure from the Chinese, they couldn't just come in and exterminate all.

Some Tigray cab driver the other day lamented this, 'we should have befriended the Somalis and used the Ogaden model' they are the most loyal people, I laughed at him, hindsight is 20/20.

The famous Somali saying "God doesn't intend good for the cursed" comes to mind. You can have millions, but not a single atom of common sense, to even bring 1/1000 of it to good use.

Good riddance, their collapse will be delight for the entire region, I rather an Amhara whose animosity and ambitions are in the open, then a snake like TPLF

Very funny kkkkkk Ethiopia was defeated by Eritrean army which half of it women in shorts.

Prof. K. Menkhaus on damming up the Shabelle & Juba rivers.

He says, "The Shabelle river is one of the ones that they are looking for" and "that will divert water in the long run and dry up that bread-basket".

I'm sorry but if you can't comprehend basic English tenses then do not quote me. The Shabelle river is already dried up now naturally and that video states Ethiopia wants to dam the river in the future. You're argument basically makes no sense or you just don't have a clue what point you are trying to get across.
It's nature that dries up the river annually, not our so called dam.

 

[Canuck]

Also Ethiopian monitors the Somalis even in Minnesota, do not be surprised it this guy works for his government.

I don't need to prove anything to you after all, you work for TPLF. also I am 100% sure of your water games.

Shabelle Development Projects in Ethiopia

During 1950s, there was a large scale Shabelle Development Scheme planned in Ethiopia, which was not implemented. Ethiopian plans in late 1970s towards development of the Shabelle River in most upstream areas for irrigation concerned Somalia. Resulted from its national policy of food self-sufficiency, Ethiopia has, since 1991 after the overthrown of the miltary regime, gone into a new process of planning of water resources development. Taking advantage of Somalia's deep political crisis, Ethiopia started building large dams on the Shabelle River. According to WIC (2001), a major dam built by Ethiopia in 2001 near Gode for irrigation purpose the main dam has the capacity of supplying 46.6 m3 /s of water. This means that the river flows at the town of Beledweyne will be reduced by more than 60%. The potential impacts of this dam development on the downstream use as well as on the natural environment are substantial, as there is no voice heard from the affected communities so far. There is another large dam project with multi-purpose reservoir which is planned to be implemented in the upper reaches of the river, downstream of Melka Wakana dam.

Existing and planned dams on the Shabelle River in Ethiopia function also as a political weapon for its rival downstream riparian. As many activities in southern Somalia, where the two river supply, depend mainly on this river's water resources, unilateral developments that Ethiopia currently carries out will severely impact on Somalia both in terms of economy and environment. Actions reflect and imply existing policies and perhaps the unilateral Ethiopian actions are based on its previous argument saying that it is the sovereign right of any riparian state, in the absence of an international agreement, to proceed unilaterally with the development of shared water resources within its territory. These new Ethiopian dams on the Shabelle will exacerbate the silent border dispute between the two countries.

You should know that a destabilized Somalia is Ethiopia's top priority. If Somalia makes a comeback, it will quickly try to annex Ogaden which has a lot of oil. So weakening Somalia by cutting the Shabelle river does not sound impossible in all honesty.

The Ethiopian master plans of the Wabi Shabelle and Genale - Dawa river basins reveal that the proposed major increase of water use for agricultural and energy productions in Ethiopia demand large scale mobilisation of the available water resources in the rivers.

The proposed large dams and irrigation schemes have the capacities to utilise all available water resources in the two rivers, leaving no water for existing and future downstream uses in Somalia. Taking advantage of its hydro-hegemony, the Ethiopia’s hydro-strategy makes sharing water more difficult. The dams produce not only hydroelectricity but also reliable, year - round water storages, which the country can divert for irrigation.

The Ethiopian hydropower development plans on the rivers create opportunities to earn foreign currency by selling hydropower energy to neighbouring countries, particularly to Kenya. Obtaining up to 400 MW annually, Kenya has welcomed the power purchase agreement with Ethiopia [51].

If the water released from the dams are used for irrigation scheme in the lower reaches of the Genale River in Ethiopia, Somalia will then be affected negatively. In that case, Kenya is benefiting from the Genale system, in which they are not part of. Somalia is then neither getting the hydropower nor water for its existing and future irrigation needs.
