Egypt will demand that Ethiopia stop construction of a Nile river dam and warned "all options are open" if it harms its water supply, advisers to President Mohamed Morsi said on Wednesday.

"It is Egypt's right to defend its interests," said Ayman Ali, one of Morsi's advisers, in comments carried by the official MENA news agency.

"Other people have a right to seek their own interests. But there must be guarantees that the Ethiopian dam will not harm Egypt, otherwise all options are open," he added.

Presidential adviser Pakinam El Sharkawy said Egypt would demand that the upstream country end its construction of the dam.

The presidency has said the dam is a "national security" issue for Egypt.

"Demanding of Ethiopia to stop construction of the dam it intends to build on the Blue Nile will be our first step," MENA quoted her as saying.

Egypt believes more studies are needed on the dam's impact on its water supply which is almost entirely dependent on the Nile, although far more on the flow down the White Nile from the Great Lakes of East Africa, than that down the Blue Nile from the Ethiopian highlands.

Ethiopia has begun diverting the Blue Nile 500 metres (yards) from its natural course to construct a $4.2 billion (3.2 billion euro) hydroelectric project known as Grand Renaissance Dam.

The Blue Nile joins the White Nile in Khartoum to form the Nile which flows through Sudan and Egypt before emptying into the Mediterranean.

The first phase of construction is due to be finished in three years, with a capacity of 700 megawatts. Once fully complete, the dam will have a capacity of 6,000 megawatts.

Egypt believes its "historic rights" to the Nile are guaranteed by two treaties from 1929 and 1959 which allow it 87 percent of the Nile's flow and give it veto power over upstream projects.

But a new deal was signed in 2010 by other Nile Basin countries, including Ethiopia, allowing them to work on river projects without Cairo's prior agreement.

The United States is urging Cairo and Addis Ababa to work to resolve the issue, saying it has "seen good cooperation" over the past year "to jointly examine the impacts of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam."

"We encourage both countries to continue working together constructively to minimize the downstream impacts of (the dam) and develop the Blue Nile for the benefit of all the people in the region," a State Department statement said.

Ethiopia will demolish Egypt just as it did consecutively in the past. Arabtu excel in booto. Not to mention more than 85% of the Blue Nile originates in Ethiopia, Mark my word these are just talks that'll mount to nothing.

Egypt will be supported by every Arab League country and funded like so, Ethiopia has no chance.

[EEGA9]

Egypt will crush Ethiopia, only the tribal Tigray enclave will fight while the rest desert quickly instead of conducting human wave attacks for their Tigray warlords.

i doubt this is true, the oromos and the amharas in the TPLF army will fight for the TPLF

[EEGA9]

^Theirs always tension within the Ethiopian army, lots of ethnic rivalry.They can hide this weakness against weaker oppositions in the Horn but when they face far greater fire-power they will disintegrate.

[SiennaEarth]

Of course Egypt will crush Ethiopia. Ethiopia is a divided country, if Ethiopia goes into war with Egypt half of the Ethiopians will not fight, only the Tigray would. Whereas Egypt is united, country wise as well as military wise. Plus Egypt is more advanced than Ethiopia. Egyptians are one of the smartest Arabs lets not forget that. Plus Egypt has the backing of the Arab League. Who's going to back Ethiopia the African League?

In a minor scramble maybe, but if this becomes a full blown war, may god be with the tigrays.

[ElfRuler]

Israeli government will use Ethiopia as a proxy.

Let's pop some corn and watch from a distance.

This gon' be good lol.

[misterioso]

Egypt doesn't need to go war with Ethiopia. It can sabotage the dam. Once destroyed, Ethiopia won't be able to rebuild it, since it costs tens $billions and besides Ethiopia is poor.

[Talo alle udaa]

Dangirl, why would you support Tigray over Egypt?

If the two do go to war, it would be one heck of an opportunity for the ONLF to cash in. In the cabinet meeting caught on tape, one of the islamic party leader was saying the Egyptian govt. should considering supporting the ONLF & OLF against Ethiopia.

I wouldn't be surprised if the admiral goes to Cairo soon to visit "Jaaliyada".
