How will a war between Ethiopia and Egypt affect the world?

Some people predict that a war might be possible between Ethiopia and Egypt over the Nile river. One scenario everyone failed to mention is the effect of the war on the stability of the entire world. As it is obvious, the US is a major ally with both Ethiopia and Egypt for the stability of the region. The stability of east Africa has huge benefit for the western countries who fight against terrorism in the world. Ethiopia plays a great role in Somalia to establish a legit, non-extremist government free from major terrorist groups in the world. The weakening of Ethiopia imposes a great risk on the west that brings chain of failures in the world. In addition to the stability of Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan rely on the stability of Ethiopia as they have tension between them as it is. On the other hand, Egypt plays a great role on the north to secure Israel, which is historically a strong ally with the US. Weakening of Egypt opens a door for anti-America countries such as Iran, to further their agenda of attacking Israel. Currently, Egypt has internal problems after the revolution that needs attention, let alone starting another major war that will impose a greater risk in the region. The US is currently tied up with the case of Syria which involved nations like Russia and China that do not entirely support the US foreign policy over the region. Then what does a war between Ethiopia and Egypt mean to the entire world’s dynamics? What will be the fate of the regions around Egypt and Ethiopia that need attention to maintain the stability of the entire world? You be the judge.
