Ethiopia blasts Trump remark that Egypt will 'blow up' dam

[Patriot786b2]

Egypt is sorrounded by trouble makers Nations with north of it the mighty Israeli land. There is yet another war conflict in the making for Egypt versus Ethiopia. Another birth of conflict first Libya on west and now from South all we need is see Israel spark another conflict from north?
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopia on Saturday denounced “belligerent threats” over the huge dam it has nearly completed on the Blue Nile River, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said downstream Egypt will “blow up” the project it has called an existential threat.

Ethiopia’s foreign minister summoned the U.S. ambassador to seek clarification, saying “the incitement of war between Ethiopia and Egypt from a sitting U.S. president neither reflects the longstanding partnership and strategic alliance between Ethiopia and the United States nor is acceptable in international law governing interstate relations,” a statement said.

Without naming Trump or the U.S., Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s office issued a separate critical statement amid an outcry in Ethiopia over Trump’s latest threat over the dam. The $4.6 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is a source of national pride, aimed at pulling millions of people from poverty.

“The man doesn’t have a clue on what he is talking about,” Former Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn tweeted, calling Trump’s remark reckless and irresponsible.

the US badly wants Egypt to attack Ethiopia.

2 birds with 1 stone. as it weakens both China friendly Ethiopia, and potential future Israeli enemy Egypt.

it would be really dumb for Egypt to start a war over this given the fact that it would probably be cheaper to just build a few desaliantion plants.

Even though Egypt rulers are pro USA, it still doesn't want Egypt to be a powerful nation.
Usa is mastermind at weakening other nations.

Yeah with all equality Egypt should allow passage of water to all other African states but "No we listen to uncle Sammy and uncle youhudi", let other already premitive African countries prosper they're already in major problems with themselves? Why than Egypt sticks out for being leader within Africa if it can't be a proper policeman of Africa continent??

Where is your ummah pride? Not Egypt a Muslim country? Why in every cases you blame Egypt? It's your hate of Egypt not a logical mind

Ethiopia has every right to fill that reservoir Egypt needs to find its own solution.

Ethiopia have many other rivers and should have made other dams first. It seems controlling the nile was part of the plan.

Actually if I was Egyptian I would be thanking President Trump. It's a privilage to get a superpower to validate and cover your interests. And make no mistake about this. This is of extreme importance to Egypt. The fact is Egypt is a desert country and just one river - Nile provides all the water for it's irrigation, farms, drink etc. The Nile is practically a lifeline for Egypt.

Now the danger is if Ethopia builds dams that water supply is in danger. If Ethopia built few more dams it could literally block off water to Egypt. Cairo has been warning Ethopia and by Trump joining in a threat is being developed. This will not stop this dam being built but the message to Ethopia is don't get ideas with more dams. Or else ....

It seems Trump may want to wade into the Middle Eastern Cold/Proxy conflict by backing Gulf Arabs/Egyptians against the Turks to a extent Turkey is the 2nd largest investor in Ethiopia after China need to look at big picture
