Ethiopia on Tuesday accused the United States of being "undiplomatic" in its push to resolve a row over a giant dam on the Nile River but vowed to continue with ongoing...

Very sad.
Typical Africa where the greed for power has no red line
Abiy should have either known or still deceiving Ethiopians. He was openly blaming Tigray for animosity to Egypt and Abiy started lecturing how brothers they are and the water is enough...etc

Now he has his Egyptians, Eritrea and America all those who brought him to power to deal with.

Abiy is dumb to think the U.S. of A will risk further destabilizing a pliant and economically poor Egypt. The Nile is the only lifeline of the little, Egypt, with its enormous population, has by way of economic security. Ethiopia’s plans to restrict water in the Nile is an existential threat to Egypt, and the importance of Egypt’s stability for the U.S, Israel and Europe can hardly be underestimated.

Ethiopia is too low on the totem pole for Uncle Sam to side with them over this issue. The Nile is Egypt’s River and the sooner the Ethiopes accept it the better it will be for them.

Agree, EGYPT is more important to US,

The Egytians won when Meles died. He had a totally different approach to this issue than Hailemariam or Abiy who both of them are terrified of Egyptian tricks and activities.

So much so, European countries Britain, France and Italy had started investing in power sector in Ethiopia.

As Egypt reconciled and moved closer with Saudi/UAE the Turkish also moved closer to Ethiopia.

 

Only Sudanese and Ethiopians Xabeshi are willing and capable to face Egypt. Historically Egypt has never defeated Sudanese or Xabeshi at war over centuries, even when Egypt used American generals from the American civil war.

Egypt is not worried about Ethiopian dam, but the fact that other Africans will copy and then Egypt has to deal with 10 countries. Israel also uses the Nile as pressure tactic all the time.

 

ONLY SOMALIS have gone out of this game between Egypt and Ethiopia. I hope the next step is Somalis to talk about water for ones self. No more fighting for Egypt's sake.
