If any war breaks out between these two countries it will accelerate the forthcoming balkazation of Ethiopia. All their economic progress they made these last few years will go to the drain.
Only thing that worries me is those oromos, when they finnaly get their chance they wont stop at the midgets and even the Ogadens will suffer greatly. They wont discriminate when it comes to karbaashing.

They legit have nothing else, literally everything they know and love will be gone if anything happens to the Nile.
All their cities/towns are along the nile the rest is just your typical desert.

Exactly. I wonder why the Habeshi can't see the consequences of their actions? Backing a country to the corner like this all in the name of money will only cause a terrible backlash. Oh well, I only hope the Ogaden don't suffer from the mistakes of these idiots.

they have and continuing to dam the many rivers that flow into Somalia, the problem is that the rivers are located outside of Somali region and in the Oromo region. Most of them is in Bale, Arsi and West Asrsi thats . I dont know how Somalis will gain control over these areas overall Oromo threat to kill Somalis for they desire to take back the Somali city of Dire Dhabe. So im not sure how Somalis should go about this.
Ethiopia will not be using the water feom the nile for anything other than electricity generation. They simply want to run the water through their turbines. Egypt should have no problems once the reservoir is filled. They may feel some pain for a few years and will probably have to leave some fields fallow.
Somali on the other hand should be very worried. The Shabelle river goes through fertile land in DDSI and have very little discharge to begin with. Ethiopia could conceivably use all of the water of the Shabelle before it reaches Somalia by 2035 which is 18 years from now. The Juba river has more discharge than the Shabelle and goes through canyons which can’t be farmed meaning that it will only be used for power generation, and Ethiopia already has 3 dams on the Juba.
The problem is that almost all of Somalia’s irrigation infrastructure is located in the Shabelle valley and it will be very difficult to develop the Juba velley due to the lack of a centralized government and the opposition of the clans of Jubaland to population transfers from the Shabelle valley. Egypt has a temporary problem with Ethiopia that can be solved by them swallowing their pride for a few years. Meanwhile, Somalia faces an existential challenge that will ratchet up clan conflict and its already astronomical levels of poverty.

By 2035 we won't exist as a nation.

Reduce, reuse, recycle all water including gray and black water, reforestation the nation, desalination, tape in groundwater and dam two major ones in the South and the small Northern rivers.
We can negate Ethiopia's influence over Somalia's water needs but Qabil and as we continue to fight each other for no reason we'll question why we always go throught famine when the answer is right in our face
