the view of nile dam Egypt with Ethiopia for media literacy 

it is wrong to generalize and insult any race or nation. But egyptian politicians in particular should clean themselves of the arrogance and disrespect that they are showing for ethiopians and subsaharan africa in general. There are trans-boundary rivers all over the world in north America, europe and Asia. Of course in all those continents the different countries use them on equal basis and even downstream countries pay upstream countries. But this doesn't hold for egyptians cuz they think the world is governed by their rule. You should never threaten an upstream country by war Mr.Morsi. Ethiopia may not need an airplane to kill as many Egyptians as it wants cuz it has a water flowing down to Egypt. You are too foolish to understand what that means. Instead I advise u to try your best diplomatic efforts. Don't even try to destabilize ethiopia, that will trigger another negative response from the ethiopians. And above all turn back to history to study what has happened to your ancestors when they tried to confront ethiopians.
The blue Nile originates from lake Tana of Ethiopian highlands, that means it is the property of Ethiopia.But it blows my mind when the president of Egypt declares openly that they don't risk to lose one drop of water of the blue Nile. They also say that it is life and death situation for Egypt if they lose the water of the Nile which can be true, but the reality is that Ethiopia is entitled to manage the water resources within it's borders. It is ridiculous for the Egyptian people and their government not to be grateful to the graciousness of the people of Ethiopia whom they are indebted for utilizing the river Nile water for generations without any hindrance.Well,time has come for the people of Ethiopia to go alone and carry out to develop any water projects in order to improve the lives of their population regardless who loses what.Egypt can only be confined within it's borders and I don't see how they can claim the ownership of the water assets of Ethiopia, that pure empty rhetoric will never bring a win-win resolution for this dispute.So the Egyptian leaders should come back to earth and must realize the hard facts of life and accept to tone down the unproductive rhetoric and start a meaningful dialogue with Ethiopia,that is the only way a reasonable agreement can be reached. all Egyptians currently doing and contemplating to do has its base false perception and fantasy that "we Egyptians are powerful in military, have sole right to use the river for our own use, we should have veto all the time, upstream countries have no capability to do any thing on the river" the fact is that historically even they do not have some good substance to boast all they have was a bitter defeat, as long as we are contributing 85 % of nile we have non negotiable right to use it responsibly. MURSI looks so far acting based on feeling and perception not facts, which is so foolish ans childish character.we should earn more pride of being Ethiopian by making sure that we do what can to make our project happen. I wish your comment red by Mursi.
