Expert warns Ethiopia on Nile water sharing
Dr. Nader Nour Eldin, Professor of Agriculture and Water Resources at Cairo University, warned of Ethiopia's efforts to revive the Entebbe Agreement, which aims to regulate the distribution of the Nile River's water. He emphasized that the allocation of water should be based on geography and the nature of the rivers, not politics. He clarified that the Blue Nile and White Nile sources are geographically separate, making it incompatible to manage their waters within a single system, as the Blue Nile does not reach the White Nile basins, and vice versa. Ethiopia officially announced the implementation of the Entebbe Agreement, which affirms the rights of all basin countries to use the water fairly and sustainably, and established a committee to manage and protect the river. Nour Eldin viewed Ethiopia's stance as leveraging the positions of other countries without direct geographical relevance, stressing the importance of relying on geographical facts when dealing with the Nile waters issue. He also pointed out that the agreement does not recognize Egypt and Sudan's historical shares.
