How come they are allowed to do so, excuse my ignorance coz I heard about the Nile treaty which I think prohibits the exploitation of the Nile waters? There was a time there were negotiations of the same ama they were renegotiated???

Remember when Karua was the min of water? Kenya and her neighbors decided they will not be bound by a colonial treaty that they were not party of. I guess Ethiopia decided they would go full throttle. The location of the dam floods alot and this will help in solving the issue. As for Egypt, they are too indulged in their democracy that they dont know what is happening. We should care less anyway. We need the power.

Please free your mind from the colonist. Don't you find it amazing that Kisumu, being on the shores of one of the largest fresh water lakes in the world has perennial water shortages?

In 1976, equipments destined to Ethiopia for dam construction exploded in the high sea. In 1979, Egypt's 2nd president, Anwar Sadat, said that Egypt's next war would be about WATER. The dam in Jinja, Uganda is manned jointly by UG and Egyptian Commandos. Egyptian Ambassadors to East African States are usualy Water Engineers or similar. Leaked E-Mails by wikileaks in 2011, quoted egyptian officials saying that Sudan and Egyptian would build a military base close to Ethiopia in Kusti. Egypt gives alot of money to East African State for borehole drilling.

One shud visit ethiopia before even trying to admire them. Addis is exactly like Nairobi in 1990. Ok with lots of unplanned construction but still very backward. There is nothing to like in Ethiopia. Thank God I am in kenya.

Food for thought: After completion, the Renaissance Dam is set to supply 6,000 MW. That's approximately six times Kenya's current capacity! A round of Applause Applause Applause to the Ethiopians!

The location of this dam is very far away from turkana-kenya border, turkana is on the upper side hence It can't be affected...the people who should be crying are the Egyptians
Please refrain from commenting without knowledge. This dam is on river Omo which supplies Lake Turkana with 90% of the inflow while the remaining 10% is from turkwell which also has a dam. This doesn't affect the blue Nile. Tinker please Think before you comment/ write or let your finger do the walking.

What is up with Wazua today. What is with the fake conspiracy theories! Gibe 3 is on river Omo. Omo flows into lake turkana and is im no way related to blue nile. The only country down stream is Kenya and we, Government, are already in agreement and we are buying 60% of the total output of the dam. Egypt was not concerned about Gibe 3 but were concerned about the hidase dam.
