Ethiopia - Egypt: A tug of war over
the Nile basin
Egypt makes offers but Ethiopia won’t budge
by Desalegn Sisay

“Ethiopia has the right to build dams”
"For several decades, Egypt succeeded in
blocking Ethiopia from raising international
project finance for irrigation and building dams
for electricity, immensely contributing to the
perpetuation of cycles of drought and famine and,
hence, abject poverty in Ethiopia. Moreover,

NILE
By Tsegaye Gebre-Medhin, Poet Laureate
"..My name is Africa I am the mother of the Nile.
O Nile, my prodigal daughter on the wilderness of the desert
Bringing God's harmony to all brothers and sisters
And calming down their noises of brass in their endless nakednesses
O Nile, you are music that restore the rhythm of existance
Into the awkward stampeding of these Middle Eastern blindnesses
You are the irrigator that cultivate peace
From my Ethiopian sacred mountains of the sun
Across to nod on the East of Aden and across Sinai
Beyond Gibraltar into the heights of Mount Moriah
O Nile, my chosen sacrifice for universal peace offering
Upon whose gift the heritages of Meroe and Egypt
Still survive for the benefit of our lone World."
