  I am glad that how much it rains in London is an acceptable measuring unit.

  Can&apos;t really blame the Ethiopians for taking a quick look at the Aswan Dam in Egypt and all the prosperity it brought and thinking &apos;Hmm, we&apos;d like that too&apos;

  I think Ethiopia has the upper hand for one simple reason, It owns the sources of the water and It is now rich enough to manage the water for Its own needs. Sudan and Egypt have to accept this new reality that they no longer have the power over the Nile and they must treat Ethiopia better from here on out. Apart from ecological and social reasons in that millions of people would starve in Egypt and Sudan if Ethiopia stops the flow of the Nile, I think the other reason Ethiopia will still give water to Egypt and Sudan is because Ethiopia does not expect unnecessary conflicts with those countries. Which would cost a lot, destabilize the region and ultimately hinder its economic growth.

  Very well-done and interesting video. Unfortunately, the Nile situation doesn&apos;t seem like a problem where there&apos;s any easy solution which satisfies all parties.
