Water Expert Challenges Ethiopia on Dam Rights
The article discussed the Ethiopian Minister of Water's statements regarding control over the flow of the Nile River. Dr. Nader Nour El-Din, Professor of Water Resources, condemned these remarks, considering them a violation of international law, which prohibits the construction of massive dams that alter the timing or quality of water reaching downstream countries. He emphasized that Ethiopia is seeking to control the Nile’s waters for political purposes, especially amid its rivalry with Egypt and Sudan. He pointed out that building new dams conflicts with international water laws, noting that electricity generation can be achieved through alternatives such as solar and wind energy. He clarified that Ethiopian statements could lead to international condemnation, especially following Ethiopia’s declaration of full control over water flow and its confirmation of constructing three new dams—an attempt to advance its interests at the expense of Egypt and Sudan's rights.
