The old colonial treaty split the waters 85-15 between Egypt and Sudan ignoring all the other African countries. This is completely unsustainable, the poor uptream countries must have their share.
Egypt just needs to use desalinization and water saving methods like other ME states.
- gorkemyurt 6y agowell Egypt is the downstream country in this case..
- yyyk 6y agoOops. I did know that, but my fingers did not. Thanks, I edited the original.

- ilstormcloud 6y agoNobody said it would fill in 3 years. The stated number of years is from 4 to 7.
