Shamelessly Egypt Sticks 90% Share of Nile Water!

No doubt,erstwhile colonies are epitome of shame till date.The masters before leaving their colonies had trained slaves to behave like masters.Masters succeeded,slaves donned the mantle of masters and without getting themselves rid of slave mentality replicated the system of administration of masters.The legacy of colonialism has had to be kept alive to carry on the burden of nostalgia.Bad money drives out good money;worse masters drove out bad masters.Our luck.

The masters not only divided the natives they ruled over,they divided the boundaries as well.Whatever was common was divided,even the rivers.The new masters are not much different from old masters.To them division is permanent and non-negotiable.This is the way Egypt is behaving with the signatories of new agrrement,Ethopia,Uganda,Rwanda and Tanzania.Kenya has supported without signing.The new agreement has not been accepted by major beneficiaries of old agreement,Egypt and Sudan who control more than 90% water of the river Nile.In one of your opinion column you suggested formation of USA2(United States of Africa).I opiniated in my comment that it is never possible.Africans and Asians are not Europeans,were ruled by foreign powers.Our ethos are different.Our approach is individualistis.we lack collective conciousness.If all the six nations had decided to resolve Nile water sharing dispute,a proper mechanism put in place to fix the problem for once and all is possible,provided there is a will.After negotiation of 13 years the new agreement could be signed without participation of Egypt and Sudan.Is it not a sad commentary on Afro-Asian countries?
