The Perilous Path to Self-Destruction: Potential Catastrophic Consequences of Egypt’s Strategy

It must be acknowledged that regardless of the number of military alliances Egypt forms, the geographic reality remains that the Nile River originates from Ethiopia. By persisting in this bellicose trajectory, Egypt is engaging in a perilous strategy that risks severe repercussions, particularly regarding its indispensable water supply. Rather than cultivating alliances, Egypt is fostering isolation, thereby damaging essential relationships instead of reinforcing them.

This course of action transcends mere error; it foreshadows an impending calamity. Positioning Ethiopia as an adversary amounts to gambling with a critical national resource. While Egypt may endure conflicts with nations such as Israel or the United States, antagonizing Ethiopia endangers its vital access to water. The Nile’s headwaters will perpetually be in Ethiopia, and by antagonizing this nation, Egypt imperils its most crucial resource—not immediately perhaps, but certainly in the imminent future and for generations to come."
