Egyptian lion no one can eat his food.. by, Dr. Mohamed Dabasha

In his recent speech, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi tried to absorb the anger of the Egyptian people at the irresponsible statements of the Ethiopian administration regarding the Renaissance Dam, whose foreign minister stated that the Nile River is an Ethiopian lake for development, and that the Nile Basin countries have no right to touch it and that Egypt cannot enter a war because it is preoccupied with terrorism in Sinai And the weakness of its economic power, stressing in his speech that Egypt is keen to deal with this file by negotiating to obtain Egypt's historical rights in the waters of the Nile, then he paused for a moment and said in the colloquial direction - the lion no one knows to eat it - as a sign to everyone of Egypt's strength and that it can obtain all its rights Legitimate means and all options are available if the Ethiopian side continues its intransigence and evasiveness because of the failure to reach an agreement and a timetable for filling the dam, and if there is damage that everyone must bear equally among themselves.

The president added in a sign to him that each of us must be a small lion, and our strength is all a big lion whose strength, security, stability and capabilities cannot be the strength of diamonds, and perhaps it is a signal for all Arab countries to stand together in the face of any aggression that affects our homelands, and the time has come for Arab reunification and our rights Looted long ago ..

Even if the Egyptian people were angry at the Ethiopian administration’s position, the Ethiopian people have all the respect and appreciation for their efforts in developing their country, but the Nile Basin countries must be taken into consideration and not compromising each country's share of water, and that irresponsible statements harm the Egyptian-Ethiopian historical relations and sit at the negotiating table for a solution. There is no substitute for it if there is an intention to resolve the differences by peaceful means so as not to drag the entire region into a war on the water in which there is no gain for a state, as everyone will be a loser and there are those who seek this from countries that are concerned only with spreading discord among countries to ignite wars and military confrontations.

In the end, the Nile River will remain an immortal lifeline for all the Nile Basin countries until God inherits the land and those on it. Wise people do not rely on statements from here and there for local consumption.
