I think a war with Ethiopia would help the Egyptian regime, assuming it went well. And it probably would because Egypt's military is the strongest in the region minus Israel. The real question is what Sudan would do (probably lie down for the Egyptians).

Ethiopia is probably the only nation in Africa that has not been dominated by foreign powers. The reason is the topography. Ethiopia has lots of mountains, like Switzerland and it is painful to attack. Any foreign nation helping Ethiopia could mean disaster for Egypt.

  I suppose in war you never know. But the dam is 10 miles from the Sudanese border.

  Controlling the entire Ethiopia would be a huge challenge, but the war objective in a fight over the Nile is much more limited in scope.

Maybe Sudan would help Egypt. They use the Nile's water too.
