Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

India nominally suspended or held in abeyance the Indus Waters Treaty that governed India the management of water resources in that basin.

And this has been used as a means of political leverage over Pakistan to threaten to, on the one hand, withhold cooperation around the Indus, but also explicitly to, by suspending the treaty and suspending its obligations to pursue development projects in India that could potentially disrupt water flows downstream to Pakistan and therefore directly compromise agricultural economies and livelihoods in Pakistan, whether it be then the Nile and Ethiopia's development of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, that raises the same questions for Egypt.

Again, those matters of upstream developments in dams, in water storage that could shift, alter, disrupt water availability downstream.

Or in the Tigris-Euphrates, where downstream Iraq and Syria have long accused Turkey and Turkey's development of development projects in Southeast Anatolia.

Egypt and Sudan are preparing a new water cooperation agreement for October while advancing a sixteen-month program to rehabilitate the war-damaged Gebel Oliya Dam south of Khartoum.

The planned cooperation covers flood protection, groundwater, monitoring systems, and other practical infrastructure, while both governments are also coordinating their positions on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

The significance is that Sudan’s war is now affecting infrastructure central to the wider Nile system, drawing reconstruction and transboundary water politics together.

For Egypt, restoring Sudanese water infrastructure is therefore not only neighborly assistance but part of a broader effort to protect regional water security.

The Zionists, I think.

There was a huge information program about this dam that was being built in Ethiopia called the Gerd Dam.

Gerd.

Isn't that nice? Gerd.

And that is, if you release more than Lake Nasser and Aswan Dam can take, you're going to knock that one down after having knocked down all of the Sudanese, the dams in Sudan, right? Now, what's happening now, let me tell you how this hydraulic warfare can play out and has played out in the past in history.

They want to build now.

Now there was a big information war in Ethiopia that the that this this multibillion dollar dam, the GERD dam was being built with bonds raised by Ethiopians know yeah sixty percent of the country has no electricity and so

actually there's all these videos of

The Grand Dam.

the great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

But look, I checked the engineering on that dam.

That thing, according to what I've read anyway, can release twice as much water as one dam can release.

We haven't been able to irrigate our crops because we can't even lower the water pumps due to the unstable clay soil, which could cause the pumps to sink.

A substantial amount of Blue Nile waters pass through the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

There have been repeated requests by nations downstream to reach an amicable agreement that will regulate the filling, storage and operation of the dam, particularly during periods of drought.

Since the dam began filling, the Nile's water levels have become unstable.

I mean, tell me something's not weaponized there.

I checked out the engineering of the Gerd Dam.

The Gerd Dam is already constructed.

That's the Greater Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

What a perfect name, Gerd.

Now, I think they probably picked the name Gerd and then picked the name, you know, picked some words around it that made, you know, Gerd sound legit.

But Gerd, the Gerd Dam, I checked the maximum outflow that they can make from a controlled outflow from the dam.

And it's about double what they could do from Aswan, Aswan's downstream in Egypt, right? What I'm getting to is they also want to build three more major dams in Ethiopia.

It comes through Ethiopia down through Sudan, and then it goes into Egypt, right? Now...

Ethiopia has opened the GERD dam.

It's called GERD.

Where do they get that name? Strange name.

I mean, Egypt has threatened to go to war for it.

And, you know, because Egypt's got F-16s and all that stuff.

And Trump has actually publicly said that I was trying to find out who funded the GERD dam, right? And there's a big information campaign that was funded organically by Ethiopia.

And I'm like, OK, 60 percent of Ethiopia is in the dark.

That's what we're seeing a lot of other high-altitude countries doing.

Ethiopia has done very well from building the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, this one that was built.

Tanzania just financed a dam which has just recently opened and is similarly successful.

Laos is another example of this.
