If the president of Egypt was not a Zionist Israeliy agent dictator, they would have invaded both Ethiopia and Sudan from the beginning with a joint force with Turkey(with a deal) or Israel to overwhelm them very quickly and efficiently. Egypt has chemical and biological weapons can be us3d against soldiers. It has more money so they can buy additional manpower from around Africa. Jets attacks as close as sudan can destroy any Ethiopian resistence. Ethiopia is not Afghanistan. Italy in 1935 invaded successfully Ethiopia. Egypt can also recruit Sudan army as human shield. Egypt has acid bombs and flame bombs can be used to destroy farming and forests. Egypt has a decent military production industry which can be fulfilled with this war. It will take 1 yr max. This is not a joke.
@Zylnex xd if Israel join in and do it no government action would go against it even if it did use soft nuclear tactical attacks. I think it is an Israeliy plan. Egypt is an Israeli puppet because of the Zionist dictator in Egypt.

This is why I love geopolitics, such a simple issue over a dam but underneath it's filled with complex political intrigue and major consequences for all parties involved.
Less stressful than watching local and national politics.
you are actually saying i love how conflicts occur between humans that can lead to disasters. wow talk about high level of humanity.
As someone who lived in UK, South Korea, Japan, China and now in Australia, I would never understand the psychological instability of having nation's major water source being located outside of its own borders...
In every countries I lived, they always had their major water sources completely within their borders but looking at the map of Africa, holy shit! that not the case for so many nations actually...

I believe that instead of an open conflict, there will more likely be a proxy war of sorts in Ethiopian Tigray region.
Cairo will most likely supply weapons and such to Tigray in order to divert funds and attention from Grand Renaissance Dam.
@Salah Al-din Ayyubi But Egypts needs to act because Water is a basic necessity.
Well the tigray have already have strangely advanced small arms and the seem to not be running out of ammunition, someones probably already supplying them whenever Sudan do Egypt nobody really knows , the tigray conflict isn't given justice in the video, it's draining the countries funds rapidly and the government has raised taxes as a result, it was said to be a short war that would crush the freedom fighters but it's been months and the Ethiopian army has been pushed back
It definitely is a poxy war.
Egypt would never aid the Tigray , as Eritrea (Tigray's worst enemy) is a strategical ally of Egypt. Also the Tigray can't do anything about the dam since it has already been filled.
Or it can wait for the dam to be built, then just bomb it and wait for Ethiopia to make the next move. Ethiopia will not be able do any major damage to Egypt, they don't have financial power to sustain a conflict
Interesting that you mentioned the rate of the Nile River's flow. It's not something that most people typically consider.
Well said,
Seriously ! Without the Nile Egyptian government could decide a military mitigation of its population more a long term solution
I know i'm a bit a late but could tell me why rate of river flow is important or send me a video explaning it?
i saw a documentary years back called "the future of water". they covered the topic of how countries are constructing dams along the nile and threw in a side comment on how this could negatively affect Egypt if they dont come to a solution. just seeing the thumbnail gave me the answer to that statement.

It is highly unlikely that these two nations will ever go to war. I think the war sentiment is mostly a western point of view. Yes, there are legitimate concerns but a war will most negatively impact Egypt as it will give Ethiopia the perfect excuse to disrupt or even sabotage the water flow.
True, Egypt cant move the source of the Nile from Ethiopia, but Ethiopia can divert the flow of water to another direction if the GERD is bombed. Who loses more then? Egypt. But both would suffer in such a scenario. The talk and threat of war is not very wise.

Filling the dam as quickly as they did was the smartest thing the Ethiopians could have done. Now they can fill it more slowly to prevent war
I don't see why egypt want to attack Ethopia if they have already filled much of the dam..
The 2nd filling failed, they intended to fill 13.5 billion cubic meter of water, and they end up filling 3.2 billions. All amount of water behind that failure project that started 10 years ago has succeeded to fill total amount of 8.2 billions, and yet ZERO watt of electricity. Way to go Ethiopia. Let’s see if this project will survive this year flood.

France : I was a businessman doing business
Well if Ethiopia is buying French equipment it's through private corporations (that could easily be German or any other nation) with little to no government interference. Arm deals (including planes) on the other are largely negotiated by government even when the contractor is a private corporation. So it's not really that France is playing both sides (or any of them for that matter) but she has arm deals with many nations including Egypt and Ethiopia happen to have chosen a French company for some of the equipment they're buying and probably chose other companies for other equipment from other nation (that don't seem to matter because the country they originate from isn't selling weapons to Egypt?).
The moment the dam was proposed I felt like things would just continue to get more tense
Its not the first dam in Africa built on a river shared by many countries - Limpopo, Zambezi and other rivers have the same shared heritage. Mozambique needs Zambezi, but that has not stopped the building of Kariba Dam upstream from Mozambique.
The GERD has been filled for two years in a row now and Egypt has not been affected. There is water in Egypt and electricity is available. Now everyone can see the data(truth in fact) against fears and anxiety (emotions). This is the reality.
77 billion cubic water goes into the blue Nile from rainfall. Ethiopia says it needs 13.5 billion. The rest will go to Egypt and Sudan.

Ethiopia on the other hand is at a full on civil war + it's a federal state to begin with. They're no comparison here.
Side note: since we're talking about battlefields, Egypt has two Mistral Class helicopter carriers which are litterly a mobile army. One of which is already deployed near djibouti. Also Egypt has rafal fighter jets that can be fueld while flying. Egypt has the 13th most powerful army in the world while Ethiopia doesn't even make it to top 60 let alone its exhaustion from inner conflicts. I don't wish for a war and it's most likely not going to happen, but if it does, it's not even a fair fight.
Lack of a binding agreement is no justification for violating Ethiopia's sovereignty. Unless and until the Ethiopians reduce the flow of the river below the average annual flow, any military action by Egypt would be aggression, not defensive.
In another couple of years, the reservoir should be full enough to complete the filling more gradually. Once full, the reservoir will store sufficient water to prevent shortages in dry years. Providing energy for such a huge population cannot be a bad thing. Egypt believes that it owns the Nile and is actually depending on colonial era treaties with other upstream countries (not Ethiopia) to justify that claim. Ironic, isn't it?
Very ironic. Especially during Nasser time which was against everything colonialism and tore up the agreements regarding the suez canal when he nationalized it even though it was owned by the british and french.
Very good and informative video! :)
Made us wait ages. Bring more videos Shirvan!!
Honestly the ongoing Tigray conflict could be a region where Egyptians arms flow into Tigrian hands to further destabilize the Ethiopian federal government. President Abey was too rash in starting a war within his own nation even though he could have avoided it.
that wouldn’t work cuz it would lose an ally(Eritrea) and flood sudan with refugees . that isn’t smart at all especially with the fat egypt doesn’t have a team big enough to do something like that.
Lmao your funny the war was inevitable the TPLF literally attacked a military and brutally butchered and tortured the soldiers and also TPLF tried to invade a neighboring region. And here you are saying he could’ve avoided it, you better be joking

I believe Egypt should have an agreement with ALL the nations along the Nile river in addition Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.They should not claim a right to water that it's source comes from upstream countries.South Africa buys water from it's neighbour.

They will do nothing other than stop any wars. China benefits from Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia.
China is a mass production country, the will probably opt to sell weapons and militairy equipment to both sides, whatever path Egypt or Ethiopia chooses China always wins
Lets see where the first water war breaks out. Is it Turkey vs Iraq and Syria, Ethiopia vs Egypt, Uzbekistan vs Tajikistan or the biggest one yet, China vs India and Indochina.
It'll get ugly that's for certain.
How about California vs. Nevada in the US ?
@@irishmerit They won’t try anything as long as the feds are around. Putting it bluntly they don’t have the balls so it’ll stay as at most, an embargo war that the feds will likely intervene in anyway.

China vs India could easily escalate to a ww3, so I hope to god it won’t happen.
As an Ethiopian Citizen I wish Egypt were one of our neighboring country It was easy for both of us to get in to war and the result were the solution for good
bro Egypt would wipe Ethiopia of the map
I recommend you look up Egyptian officials openly discussing arming a rebel group in Ethiopia on CZcams. Ethiopia is moving fast cause if you give Egypt time they'll keep on creating chaos and division with in the nation. This will not be solved until Ethiopia has an equal power to bargain.
As a correspondent, I rank this guy up there with Alistair Cook, only he does the whole world, rather than just America.
Yeah, he gives a good overview of regional power dynamics that most western news agencies gloss over or ignore completely.

@@aratirao9007 thanks for the recommendation.
I'm not a dedicated geopolitics watcher as I come from a country with many internal problems which is not always directly effected by current events.
I watch Caspian Report because Shirvan's presentation is level headed, interesting, balanced and actually quite relaxing, he and his team should be awarded for the research they do into history, culture and politics and the insights they bring across.

Caspian thank u- very well researched
As history is a witness, those that have underestimated Ethiopia have not had good fortunes. Ethiopia has indeed many challenges, both internal as well as external, but if there is one thing that we do well - its to rise above our challenges to become an even stronger nation. Our nation knows who plots what and who finances who behind our backs. That will not go far. Despite the manifold pressures in regards to the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), its going according to plan. They tried to stop its construction, but they didn't succeed. They tried to stop its first filling, but that was a failure. They tried to stop its second filling, which was yet another failure. Mark my words, despite challenges left and right, in spite of pressures up and down, we will complete the dam and it shall be a living testament to our natural right to use our natural resource.
Theoretical musing and geopolitical analysis is all well and good, and I admire your efforts of looking into the dispute. You have overlooked the fact that Egypt tries to bind us with colonial-era treaties, which have become a stumbling block to the talks around the dam. Its quite alright, we are used to the international community overlooking our concerns and issues. However, as a nation, Ethiopia has witnessed brilliant analysts get everything wrong about its situation - as they always fail to factor the resilience of our people, especially when challenges hit home. It happens.
I know many have plans to break up our nation, and to them I would like to quote Mike Tyson: " Everyone Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Mouth"
Everyone talks big and has a plan until they have ethnic insurgents in their country
Yea you cant punch us in the face, your technology kinda lacks hard, your airforce old be destroyed in a day and your important military locations be pounded, it isn't hard.
I think it would be kinda ironic because there’s a good chance if conflict broke out the Israelis would support Egypt considering the history the irony would be noteworthy
I don't see it happening. Israel can't really pick sides in this conflict since it maintains relations with both countries for different reasons.
besides that, the US will probably make sure that they sit down and not intervene
Ethiopia is a better ally of Israel. Israel sent defense equipment to Ethiopia
Yes, the peace deal with Egypt is a vital interest for Israel (and by extension, avoiding complete political instability in Egypt).
Friendly relations with Ethiopia, less so.
Israel would probably prefer not to choose a side, so for that reason, their junior partner in Washington would be required to intervene to separate the two sides (Egypt and Ethiopia).
A chaotic egypt wouldn't help israel, there would be refugees and dangerous players taking advatnge. This could be an opportunity for Israel to ally with Egypt and provide eachother with national security. Egypt might allow Israel to have palestine.

Love your content!
Another fascinating, fact filled, thoughtful and rational video. Çok teşekkür ederim! Çox sağ ol! Merci, and thanks!
The statements of there is no treaty between Ethiopia and Egypt and the lack of UN laws for such situations are incorrect.
There is a treaty that has been mediated by UK but Ethiopia brings excuses that it is old...
There are also International laws for rivers which are used by different countries downstream.
Actually what Ethiopia is doing isn't perfectly legal.
Dude Why don't you tell that to your puppet masters who utilize the Colorado River 100%. and you bitch about when we take 13.5 billion cubic meters out of the 74 billion we give you.
Sudan and Egypt signed the paper your talking about Ethiopia never signed anything because she was not colonized. Your leaders where always sleeves for Westerners and still are.
@@Mentallclips Puppetmaster, coloroda river?? What the heck are you talking about? Im not Egyptian nor American you moron.
Because they did not consult Ethiopia when signing the treaty and we don't accept a colonialism treaty

Great content guys
Funny how insurgents suddenly appear...as a policy tool in negotiating...leverage?
Wow, excellent video! MENA is your forte. I'd love to see more videos on the region! It'd be interesting to see your take on the Western Sahara conflict.
This repost is mostly hype. Ethiopia will fill their dam and Egypt will continue to receive their water down the Nile River. This conflict is like two bald men fighting over a comb.
"Two bald men fighting over a comb". The title of the war between Eritrea and Ethiopia (1998-2000)

@@MotivateMoments2023 What the hell that have to do with anything?
@@mazenlatif6722 there have been several examples but two of the best were 1967 and 1973, suckit.
I hate that in the couple of past years on the internet it's just all about you and us pointing fingers at each other, not far from today I don't remember Egyptians holding a grudge or hatred towards Ethiopians in particular but things changed since the construction of them dam, I have to state that I wish for Ethiopia to grow in prosperity, generate power for homes and factories, a dream come true for sure, but I don't want to lose the 3% of arable land we have (out of the entire country), we're entirely a desert country, we don't possess anything like your humongous lakes, equatorial rain seasons or huge underground water basins.
Truly sad to see things go that way but concerning your comment I remember when Ethiopians keep boasting about something that happened more than a century ago, for example when Ethiopians boast about 1896 and how they have stood against all odds and beat Italy, but then Italy Invaded Ethiopia in 1935 and reigned victorious (it is worth noting that they've use chemical weapons), this is *NOT* me hating on Ethiopia but just a reminder that between a well-deserved victory and a horrible defeat was a time gap of 39 years.
A lot happened in said 39 years, from technological advances to the Italians learning from their mistakes, employing different tactics, the decent generation who fought (commanders specifically) in the first invasion dying out of old age and so on.
So, yes Israel did this and that in 1967 and you like to mention that alot and there's no denying that we were defeated, a horrible defeat, well they underestimated us and in just 6 years we did what they didn't expect at all, as they would say "we beat them in X, we beat in Y, what a joke, they will never do Z", regardless of how 1973 ended up, in just 6 years a lot has changed.
Warfare is evolving faster than ever, what used to be a state of the art weapon is either rotting in a storage facility or serving in the rear echelons.
War is naive and won't benefit anyone but don't think that just because you've won a battle 140 years ago that it would give you any type of advantage against different circumstances (those of the modern day).

Hahaha why would he want to do that?
Actual news doesn't fit the Narrative.
Egypt needs to watch its step. If they damage the GRD, what is to stop the Ethiopians from doing the same to the Aswan High Dam? If they blew that up, Cairo would be gone, and Egypt would cease to exist as a country. Long term, there will be almost as much water flowing in the Nile after the GRD is filled as there was before. Little of it will be used for agriculture, almost all will make electricity, which should kick start the Ethiopian economy as well as the economies of neighbouring countries, and reduce both external and internal conflicts; people who are prosperous or perceive that they have the chance to achieve prosperity are less likely to fight each other than they are to do business together.

Ethiopia's military is vastly weaker than Egypt's. Egypt can defend themself militarily, Ethiopia can't.
Also Ethiopia sells itself terribly internationally. Your representatives in interviews about the dam boil down to "we can do what we please" and in a conflict Ethiopia would have few friends.
Ethiopia doesn't have the capability to launch such an attack the most advanced aircraft in their inventory is 90s su27 and they would get shot down by air defenses before they get close
Care to explain how Cairo would be gone and Egypt would cease to exist as a country?
@@MahdiShibly Its simple, understand how the flood flow, from where to where. Answer is the flood will flow from to Sudan then to Egypt. Now let explain you how it works #1. If you blow up GERD then flood wipe Sudanese Dams and Egypts large Aswan Dam. Then Cairo will wiped into red see. No flood is coming toward Ethiopia. Any way Egypt has not capable enough to blow the GERD and the defiance systems waiting Egypt's air craft to turn into ashes. If Egypt lucky enough to blow the Dam Ethiopia will add some spices on the river at the end of Ethiopia boarder. You know what I mean
Ethiopia is the owner of the water that contributes 87% to the river what #Egypt and #Sudan they contribut to the river is is 0%. So if the Egyptians and Sudanese are wise they should cooperatate with Ethiopia for its peace and stablity not its distraction.
No they can simply bomb the dam and nothing Ethiopia can do about it
Ethiopia as a nation state doesn't own it - the river has been there since before the creation of these states. People will suffer because of Ethiopia's actions - I'm shocked at the dehumanizing rhetoric in some of these comments.

Ethiopia never bought electricity from Egypt and we are mad because we need water to live, as well Ethiopia is breaking national laws by filling the dam without negation. we wish for our neighbors to be self sustained
Egypt could have spent the money on solar power farms for Ethiopia
I was thinking along those lines. Why doesn’t Egypt help Ethiopia get electricity? There are other ways to get the capacity.
