Hi, I am sorry for EGYPTIANS being boost as having a better military power. surely an ETHIOPIAN farmer is more than enough for 10000 well armed Egyptian troops. We know the war between you and Israel with small country. If you are confident with your sophisticated gun machine. We Ethiopians can spoil the river with our secret chemical weapons you the whole EGYPTIANS would be removed from your country,leave alone your invading force to us( of course 200% impossible because you are not better than one year kids).

This is a great celebration for Ethiopian & our friend countries. We Ethiopian did only our right. We are not build a dam in side Egypt. Our prime minister Meles Zenawi decide a golden opportunity for his citizen. This doesn’t concern Egyptian. Please think as human being this is 21 century. We use our resource not Egyptian resource.

I thinks this is the beginning of the new balanced world. Colonialism was over 5o years ago. What ever agreements signed or declared during the colonial era obviously won’t work now. Both Ethiopia and Egypt are an independent countries now. But I must regret that you Egyptians are not still independent of your colonialists ideas. Colonialism is an officially abolished practice. The colonialists were responsible for all the tumors in the past world of course they are still paying for that.
Peace and prosperity to the people of Africa!
Enat ager Ethiopia, wodefit gesgishi!

Hello,
I am Ethiopian and I am happy as Nile is a thick component of national feeling. Ethiopia has never been bent on hurting the interest of people of Egypt yet adamant to maintain mutual benefit but the scarce mentality of old Egypt’s politics has so far failed to acquiesce for shared benefit, which is a glaring mistake. Egypt has remained crooked to keep 1959 colonial, nasty agreement as if it sustains timelessly.
we know Egypt threaten us to wage a war which is a very poor yet deadly option to harm their own good. Despite our respect for rule of law and fear of God, Ethiopians are ruthless to sweep away reckless neighbors who dare to trample on our sovereignty.
Egypt has a peaceful win-win option to admit with abundant mentality; if it takes the wrong way we will for sure whip you off our very interest. Forget your hearsay about Arab-Israel war, we give a far better lesson as we in the past defeated you.
A country believe who believe to maintain mutual benefit while we are determined to take any of your aggressions down.

Take a fair path and maximize mutual benefit and go wrong for aggression and get whipped away.

very nice time for ethiopia which many generations dreamed about.i hope it will not affect the right of egyptians to use the nile.
i want acknowledge those Egyptians that if it have any effect on u we wont even allow our government to do that.
and lastly pls don’t think about war it will not be good for both of us,but it doesn’t mean we fear war we have been through it for many century and u know that to.

In 1859 the Egyptian built a Suez canal by connecting the Mediterranean sea and the red sea which allows water navigation between Europe and Asia without navigation around Africa. The construction of the canal have become a major component of the the Mediterranean ecosystem,and have serious impacts on the Mediterranean Ecology, endangering many local and endemic species. Currently,too many species from the red sea have been identified in the Mediterranean sea. The Egyptian government built the canal for their one sided benefit ignoring the Environment. It is very Selfish Approach protesting the newly dam project which is intended to be built soon in Ethiopia. It is our right to use our resource as long as it is for the mutual benefit . we have been going through a tough time and Continous poverty for decades. this is the time to unite and stand for the common interest .
