It is the other way round Xaaji. The Shebelle and Jubba rivers originate in Ethiopia and go through Somalia. As you may be aware there is a serious land grab going on in Africa where foreign governments and large multinational investment firms buy or lease huge tracts of land from the corrupt African regimes to cultivate and ship the produce to their home markets. Ethiopia already evicted tens of thousands of people from their lands and it is these giant commercial farms that are going to be irrigated with the Jubba and Shabelle river water. These vital rivers for Koonfuria, their own Niles will be reduced to mere streams.

Look at this sad case, rather sad soul. yaab iyo yaabkiis, after all this man is Somalia.

 

Egypt had made it clear, this is a matter of national security. Egypt currently gets much much more than anyone else which is over 80% of the waters, their share will be reduced but not by much only 10% or maximum 15% which they can live with and will work for the other African countries as well, so they can agree on that but anything more than that will result in conflict.
