Surely, Kipevu added 10% of power in the national grid, now tell us how that is just enough to light a bulb and cook??? Who cooks using elec in Kenya?

Go dig into the archives of NTV and listen to bamburis MD complain of how they have had to shelve plans because the power they receive is just not enough. Why do we import cement, from china? Why do we export Iron ore yet we can run a steel plant? Even those who live in mad houses would want to own a brick house.

Egypt 'worried' about Rennaisance Dam

Ethiopia: Rumors of Water War on the Nile?

In November 2010, Meles Zenawi had this to say:
“I am not worried that the Egyptians will suddenly invade Ethiopia.
Nobody who has tried that has lived to tell the story. I don’t think the Egyptians will be any different and I think
they know that…The
Egyptians have yet to make up their minds as to whether they want to live in the 21st or the 19th century.”

Sadat and Boutros Boutros Gahali also vehemently opposed the dam.

An email from the American
private security organization
Stratfor released by
Wikileaks citing its source as
“high-level Egyptian security/
intel in regular direct contact
with Mubarak and Suleiman”
, “If it comes to a crisis, we
will send a jet to bomb the
dam and come back in one
day, simple as that. Or we
can send our special forces in
to block/sabotage the dam.
But we aren't going for the
military option now. This is
just contingency planning.
Look back to an operation
Egypt did in the mid-late
1970s, I think 1976, when
Ethiopia was trying to build a
large dam. We blew up the
equipment while it was
traveling by sea to Ethiopia. A
useful case study…”
