A sailing boat is seen amid sunset glow on the Nile River near Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 26, 2017. Abebe Aynete, senior researcher at the Ethiopia Foreign Relations Strategic Studies (EFRSS), a local think thank, told Xinhua that ongoing tensions about Nile river usage should not divert from win-win solutions. Aynete said longstanding disagreements on the Nile river have only served to delay the inevitable consensus both nations should reach on various issues. Ethiopia insists the mega hydro dam is part of its desire to equitably use Nile water to help power its economic growth. However, Aynete dismissed the possibility of a war involving the Nile river dispute breaking out in Northeast Africa.
