For all those following the #GERD in #Ethiopia #Sudan & #Egypt active and increasing rains across the Nile Basin may provide more than ample water for the planned filling of the dam this rainy season.

Over 10 days rain is forecast for all the Nile Basin south of Egypt. Image

This article from from @afitz3105 Director, Balsillie School of Int’lAffairs - Sr Security & Justice Adviser, UK, Horn of Africa & en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Segal is well worth reading by anyone interested in the #GERD and the #Tigray war.

"If Western powers have legitimate concerns about regional stability they should not rush to judgement on the Tigray conflict. ... they should make efforts to engage with the democratic federal Ethiopian state. This offers the best chance for the Horn of Africa to prosper."
"Failure to do this could see a resurgence of instability, which may not exclude Al-Shabaab-led incursions and the rise of new demagogues across the region."
