Also to put things in context, if they rename Egypt to Nile: The Country, it would be more accurate. Egypt is a country of 100 million people, all of them living next to the Nile or in its delta. It's unbelievable how much Egypt is dependant on Nile for its existence. Any disruption in Nile will have severe negative effects on the lives of 100 million people and be an existential threat to Egypt. Just take a look at Egypt's population heat map:

- chrisseaton 5y ago> all of them living next to the Nile or in its delta Your own heat map shows that this isn’t the case - they also live on the coast.
- sebmellen 5y agoThat’s ridiculous. The darkest areas of the map are quite literally all on the Nile or in the delta.
- chrisseaton 5y agoI don’t know what you think a delta is, but for example Mersa Matruh isn’t in it.
- csomar 5y agoMarsa Matruh is like 60-70k? Egypt has 104 Millions. There are some in Matruh, Sinai, Port Said, or Sharm-Sheikh. But they are insignificant. The majority are living on the nile.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> The majority are living on the nile. Earlier it was ‘all’.

- csomar 5y ago> they also live on the coast. That's the delta.
