Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdel Aty, said “Ethiopia has no right to participate in Red Sea governance mechanism as it is a deadlocked country.” By the same logic, Egypt, a downstream beneficiary with zero contribution to the Nile’s flow, has no right to say in its upstream governance, let alone claiming for hydro-hegemony. After all, if geography disqualifies landlocked Ethiopia from the Red Sea, why shouldn’t it disqualify non-contributing Egypt from the Nile?
