nations are played against each others by their governments who gave a s##t about them but work for Satan, like UN, NATI, Bill Gates, W.H.O, … Wake up! You are pawns in the game: psychopaths pull the string behind the TV news and shows, it's all power and Archons feeding on your negativity. Have a laugh at this theater play.

Egypt faces several challenges that have hindered its economic and social development:
1. Population growth: Egypt has one of the fastest-growing populations in the world, which poses significant challenges in terms of providing basic services, such as education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. This population pressure puts a strain on resources and infrastructure.
2. High poverty and inequality: Egypt has a significant poverty rate, with a large proportion of the population living on or below the poverty line. Income inequality is also a pressing issue, with a significant wealth gap between the rich and the poor.
3. Unemployment and underemployment: Egypt struggles with high unemployment rates, particularly among young people. This creates social unrest and limits the productive potential of the country's workforce. Underemployment, where people are employed in jobs that do not fully utilize their skills or provide a decent income, is also a concern.
4. Limited economic diversification: Egypt's economy relies heavily on a few sectors, such as tourism, agriculture, and remittances from Egyptians working abroad. This lack of diversification makes the country vulnerable to external shocks and limits its ability to generate sustainable economic growth.
5. Political instability and governance issues: Egypt has experienced periods of political unrest and instability, which have disrupted economic activities and deterred investments. Concerns regarding human rights, freedom of expression, and limitations on civil liberties have also impacted the country's image and potential for development.
6. Energy dependency: Egypt is heavily reliant on energy imports, particularly oil and natural gas. This dependence exposes the country to price fluctuations and external supply disruptions, affecting its overall economic stability.
7. Water scarcity: Egypt faces water scarcity challenges due to its dependence on the Nile River for water resources. Population growth, climate change, and upstream dam constructions pose risks to Egypt's water security and agricultural activities.
Despite these challenges, Egypt has implemented various economic reform programs and infrastructure projects in recent years to address some of these issues and promote sustainable development.

Egypt cannot and will not survive. you can't have 110 million people living off one river that is only 640 miles in Egypt. This is doomed to failure. Even without the Ethiopian dam, Egypt is doomed.
Consider the U.S. has 330 million people. The U.S. however has 250,000 rivers for 3,500,000 miles of fresh river water. the Mississippi and Missouri rivers combined are longer than the entire Nile.
Egypt has one river and the rest is desert. It is over populated and they already know they are doomed.
The Ethiopian dam, once completed can actually help by regulating the water flow in time of drought but no amount of water will be enough for Egypt to survive.

What sort of consultation did Egypt allow Sudan for the Aswan Dam? Because almost all of Sudan's pyramids are drowned underneath the Aswan Dam. The source of the Nile is Lake Tana in Ethiopia and Lake Victoria shared with Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya. Egypt would do well to negotiate respectfully and well with her fellow African nations rather than relying on Britain and that other odd nation. Besides Ethiopia fills the dam during monsoon season which would otherwise flood Sudan. Ethiopia has so far proven to be a good steward.

Not one word about the Toshka lakes and cotton production in the desert, or the unwillingness to modernise the agricultural sector in Egypt.
