egypt has the bigger and better armed military but ethiopia has a very defensible position in the mountains and a country as a buffer so i doubt anything will happen other then heated arguments
they've been talking about this war being a "near" thing for like close to 10 years now
The dam project affects Sudan as well and pisses them off just as much, so most likely Egypt should be able to get Sudan on their side if they were to work out a deal
Well, Egypt might be able to try and bomb the dam. But both countries are hilariously inept, so what would likely happen is that the Egyptian jets crash before delivering the payload, but the Ethiopian air defense somehow leaves their AA in ground attack mode and destroy the dam by accident themselves.
People have been talking about water wars and the dammed Nile for years.
Egyptian Air Force has done plenty of bombing runs with their jest before. They most likely will receive US assistance and in terms of intelligence and reconnaissance.

Would Eritrea help out Ethiopia against Egypt as well?
Complete nothingburger, the dam is already filled and there is nothing we could do anymore
t.Egyptian
>South Sudan?
Sits off to the side on the other main leg of the Nile so no one really has any reason to go visit them and we can have a really major war here without any shrapnel reaching their borders. The whole place is also a complete clusterfrick so odds are they won't have much ability to involve themselves even if they somehow decided they wanted to.
How the frick are they even gonna fight? Ain't no borders there and I'm unsure how cool Sudan would be with their neighbors armies going through its soil, well, sand
Sudan has been split in two by a long-ass civil war, they are basicaly sand monkeys with barely functioning ak-47s and flip-flops, any semi-professionally armed force could just walk over them.
>meds vs yellabones vs redbones
It cannot be fixed. In other parts of the world you might be able to propose an economic alliance with water sharing but this will fail miserably until the pole flip and israelites massacre those too strong to be slaves with further vaccines.
Going to war over a circle, really?
Circles arent even real, they are a made up construct of geometry. What is the circle made of, what does it contain? I don't think they are referring to the circle on that map because it is just drawn there and does not exist in real life
>Getting told that if they build the dam they get bombed >Having an agreement for the river usage and not building the dam >Build the dam anyway
Why are nogs like this?
They didn't agree not to build the dam. They agreed to fill it slowly, which they also didn't do btw, but that really is a moot point because now it is built and full, and all the terror stories Egypt told never came to pass. There won't be a war, it would be pointless. Attacking the Dam would damage Egypt way more than not doing so, Ethiopia won't even reduce flow anymore given that would damsge the dam by overloading it, and therefore no one even has any reason to care. Black folk built a dam. Whoopty freaking do. This entire debacle has been nothing but a massive spergout between two african shitholes.
people have been saying this for decades but it wont happen because Ethiopia knows anything it builds will simply be blown up by the Egyptian air force with impunity if they do not offer Egypt concessions before construction
whatever the result, I think all foreign refugees or displaced people should get a free ticket to Europe because it's european policies that are to blame for it
Don't Ethiopians have a pretty decent military, particularly light/airborne infantry forces? >inb4 /misc/ take
Ethiopians have a pretty good track record for not taking any shit from anyone. Would honestly be pretty wild if a war like that were to kick off.
There’s a reason Egypt has been controlled by foreign powers for 1000+ years. The great power that controls up the river, controls the Egyptians. In Egypt invades, the flow of the Nile is cut, and Egypt folds over.
caspianreport was talking about this like 14 months ago and that's as mainstream & casual as it gets
do either even have any power projection?

Ironic, considering Egypt and Sudan used to have their own high tensions and disagreements over Sudan's dams.
Geopolitiucal mastermind Ethiopia will unite Egypt and Sudan.
And for their next trick, they will find a way to unify Somalia.

ethiopias actions affect more than just egypt theyll probably not build the dam
That dam is already finished, it's just not filled completely yet
Complete nothingburger, the dam is already filled and there is nothing we could do anymore
t.Egyptian
Bomb it.
You can shoot a frickton of bombs at it and kill ethiopians by the thousands.
far from filled
I had to write a few papers on this years ago, this is nothing new and it will never happen.
Yeah quite possibly. Unusually the nation with the bigger army is the one fricking with the river like Mekong.
What will the Albanian Third Position do about this?
Build bunkers, just in case.
So how do the slums known as North and South Sudan play into this?
They will just have to roll over for the war, like Belgium and the Netherlands. There's nothing that can be Su-done to stop it.
What about Sudan and South Sudan?
>South Sudan?

It there ever is a conflict South Sudan will work for whoever has more money.
Its basically just an Army that occupies a State.
If we go by that logic china should too with vietnam
Are you seriously comparing Ethiopia to china?
if they cant buy it they fight for it no?
>hoser

>terror stories Egypt told never came to pass
to be fair we only said it would be a problem should a drought occur and no drought happened
>it is built and full,
It takes multiple years to fill
Have our snoyentists figured out the good and evil side yet? I don't want to meme for the evil side by accident.
people have been saying this for decades but it wont happen because Ethiopia knows anything it builds will simply be blown up by the Egyptian air force with impunity if they do not offer Egypt concessions before construction
>sand Black folk are being sand Black folk again
What else is new?
whatever the result, I think all foreign refugees or displaced people should get a free ticket to Europe because it's european policies that are to blame for it
shut it pajeet
not every single one of your failure is eropean mistake
I swear to god its like europeans are the israelites for 3 world shit holes
The United States would frick Egypt and Ethiopia up if their shit interferes with shipping lanes.
