Nile Is Enough to All, No War, No Battle

Nature made Nile in Ethiopia down in gorges to fuel electric power; it is so made in Sudan and Egypt to do everything from energy to drinking water to irrigation.

Now what remains to be seen is the wisdom of these nations to share it accordingly. I don't think we are that idiot to pick war while to share is the best option.

The best thing now is to leave aside the old scarcity driven Nile politics that wage proxy war in Somalia and in the sub-region at large.

It is good to see there is a way for the riparian countries to share the Nile waters apart from what nature does to maintain balance between the downstream and upper-stream countries of the Nile River.

As some do, mired with their old views, we can’t allow to beat drum of war which would certainly be devastating for all involved.

The measure of solutions we provide should meet the mentality and needs of the 21st century than the 20th Century crooked mentality that sees cooperation as a failure.

Ethiopia will certainly develop mammoth hydro dams to fuel its growing power demand; Sudan will develop dams, irrigate its agriculture, and drink it; Egypt will do the same: drink it, irrigate it and turn it into energy.

I think this is the sensible way out. We just can’t beat drum of war our way out of the Nile Politics. Rather we synergize like no other and prove to the rest of the world Africa can cooperate to mutual benefits. Together we thrive.
