Cairo, May 12 (Prensa Latina) Egypt will not resort to force to resolve the dispute with Ethiopia on the quota of the Nile river water, assured the Defence Minister General Abdel Fattah el Sisi in statements cirdulated here today.
In the second half of last year Egyptian military sources denied that they were building landing strips in Sudan in preparation for a campaign to resolve any conflict with Addis Ababa by the construction of the Dam Renaissance.
A technical report on the impact of that megareservoir suggests that Egypt, where annual rainfall is minimal and lacks other sources, could face a substantial decrease of the water supply and therefore the crisis for agriculture, industry and the supply to the population.

These apprehensions were denied by official sources here, according to which the dam will not cause “water shortage, but meassures must be taken to get the amount that Ethiopia needed to store in the reservoir according to the needs and the Egyptians consent.”

What history tell us: Egypt is funding internal and external conflicts for Ethiopia. And there are recent news that she didn’t stop doing such things, like creating and using Muslim fundamentalists and tribal fundamentalists. This is not direct war and direct war affects her international relations with other countries also. Otherwise, Egypt is not yet searching for a Win-Win solution. Still selfish untrusted friend.
