Eritrea, Ethiopia, Egypt, what’s the difference? But this time, they might hit the jackpot: a war between Egypt and Ethiopia, each with 100 million people, with Sudan in the middle. It would be hard to arrange, since Egypt and Ethiopia don’t share a border, but they do share a river: the Nile. Ethiopia is building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile, and Egypt is very unhappy about it. That’s 74 cubic kilometres of water that will never flow down the Nile, a full year’s flow if you took it all at once.
