4:16 pm

4:18 pm
basic skills to help them get jobs. they've worked in different kinds of jobs like flooring painting school restore ration agriculture and tom marking roads even though the community refuses women to work they have no choice this is what forced many of them to take part in this project. years of war in yemen have devastated its population but one way to help women get through it has been achieved by making small changes at the community level. i'll just. tell again the headlines on al-jazeera this hour a police 42 people have been killed during friday protests in iraq a curfew has been imposed across 8 provinces but that hasn't stopped hundreds of people from continuing their protest against the government but also the name

4:21 pm
those are the headlines 0 inside story coming up next. one of the really special things about working for others here is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much input and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for it is you know it's very challenging given the particulars because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are with the people who believe that tell the real stories are just mandate is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. egypt and if you resolve that just beautiful over water disagreements over africa's largest dam project raising days of conflict how should one of our most vital was also has been managed this is inside story.
4:22 pm
and on the welcome to the program. water is often said to be the source of life and it's increasingly becoming the source of conflict in various parts of the world the building of the largest hydroelectric dam in africa has reignited a dispute about its longest whether the line is the o.p.'s says the $5000000000.00 grand if your bill but it sounds that near the border with sudan will be a massive boost to the economy and create power for $100000000.00 if the o.p.'s egypt fears that will be at its expanse and reduce its share of my water if european engineers are being urged to fill the reservoir behind the wall slowly than release a higher quantity of water downstream both sides have agreed to resume talks that collapsed earlier this month and it is accepting the united states offer to mediate the dispute it. if the o.p.'s prime minister and this year's nobel peace
4:23 pm
prize went so just to the disappeared could lead to a war is of can down his comments as unacceptable. you asked about egypt saying that they will take action and want to kindly want you to understand is that quarter of ethiopia's population is poor and young so if we are to go to war with other africans we can have many millions on the front line but was do not have many benefits it will not benefit egypt will not benefit sudan and it will not be enough it some may have the capability of firing missiles and some may say i will bomb cairo if it is for my country and my flag but peace cannot be brought by bombing and by fighting now and if. the only ones involved in the dispute sudan has been involved in the negotiations the dam is located near its border with let's get more from morgan in the capital.
4:24 pm
tensions have been on the rise between egypt over the grand if you can renaissance dam the dam which is building and which is said to be the largest hydroelectric dam and africa on its completion next year now since the start of the construction in 2011 egypt has repeatedly expressed concern over the impact of the dam on its shares of which. relies on technical committees between the 2 sides are set to resume negotiations on the feeling and the operation of the down but the last round of talks between ethiopian egypt which included sudan earlier here in sudanese capital and in a deadlock egypt wanted to guarantee that the dam would be released in 40000000000 cubic meters but ethiopia said that the dams maximum capacity would be only 50000000000 the recent statements by the prime minister ahmed who said that he is ready to more than a 1000000 men to defend the dam did not help with the tension now caught up in the middle between the 2 sides which while it did not see it wanted 40000000000 cubic
4:25 pm
meters released by the day it said that if you try to raise 35000000000 cubic meters sudan is trying to play mediator between the 2 sides between ethiopian egypt while at the same time trying to guarantee that its shares is not impacted morgan for inside story. let's take a look at the long running dispute the nile competes with the amazon as being the longest river in the world it's definitely the longest in africa flowing through 11 countries nearly a quarter of a 1000000000 africans rely on the river but egypt and sudan claim exclusive rights to the water why 90 percent of your fresh water comes from the 984 percent of the rivers water flows from ethiopia the long running dispute intensified when it began building the largest hydroelectric power plant in africa it's of fears the ground if european renaissance dam will stop the flow of vital water source and the egyptians are using to it is drafted by britain must sentry to argue scase.
4:26 pm
let's introduce our panel in her dorm. for money go on the ny agreement in brussels william davidson syria analyst on the international crisis group and the london alam professor of knowledge management and sustainable development of the university of east london welcome to you. since you have been part of the team that has negotiated the waters i just want to ask you is the whole issue about filling their reserve war within an internal of time of 5 to 7 years and then releasing water with about 35 to 40000000000 cubic meters annually is this the real problem now facing the 3
4:27 pm
countries if the opiah and sudan. i think according to the strategy of libya this is the this is not as it is a problem the division for him is of course defeatist feeling of the dumb but my understanding of the interest of so then are more than that which is worth of security and this has never been discussed before so i believe the negotiation is now about the 1st feeling this is a beer nuts compared to the interests of the sudan which is claiming to be food basket for the whole world like and it is current workers definitely will not meet that target and they should be looking for work or security now than anything else so that's why i think this is the reason for the failure of the negotiations william there's been this us collation rhetoric over the last few months where if european is or do you have any concern that in the absence of an agreement the
4:28 pm
potential for a military confrontation is that. well not particularly i mean there has certainly been some heated rhetoric recently as you referred to and unfortunately we've also seen that in the past notably from cairo in the past of course we had the comments from the european prime minister in parliament recently talking about a possible eventuality of conflict but conflict really is very unlikely here it's not it's not an either side's interest and in fact if egypt is particularly concerned about its water supply then the obvious way to try and ensure adequate water supplies is to cooperate with ethiopia and if there's any increase in the aggressive attitude from either side if there's a worsening of relations let alone conflict then egypt will be further away from its goal of ensuring those adequate water supplies the egyptians say this is an
4:29 pm
issue of utmost importance is exist tensional issue for the therefore they want to be part of operating the if this is an issue of national sovereignty and as you've heard from a hammer the mufti he says that for today and this is also a crucial issue now. is there any room for compromise where the 3 parties can cooperate for the sake of a permanent solution. thank you for your invitation i think the issue here we need to consider is of the spectacle of this all 'd complex situation we are facing now fairest of all i sing we need to remind our sense one of the measure of a stickler turning use for africa over all is the lack of an adequacy of electricity africa main challenges is really electricity and that's we're going to hinder many of the development projects across the whole continent not just in the city countries secondly water and electricity or water and energy are considered 2
4:30 pm
of the most important items in all initiative by my countries to achieve the sustainable development goals 20 safety now taking the story into account the argument of the egyptian about is very this is show of the dam and the water is vital is what it is vital not just for egypt is also for sudan and for we need to be in my as my colleague from sudan just said sudan is because they have to be the food bucket for the entire africa and the arab countries and eventually sudan needs the water in order to fulfill that if you like ambitious target for the whole continent though just for sudan it got this on political problems because we have inside egypt even the distribution of 40 is not really even really if you like equitable though she is very worried about the amount of ford because we know that most of the businesses are run by core brands of the cobras that actually belong to the army in each. issue of national security is
4:31 pm
through because there was a board 670 of civil from the european union about how there will be going to look like in 20 city or 2020 and now we already in 2020 and they argue that water will be one of the major issues of conflict between countries ok that countries which will depend on us of on water they will have when girls see us telling to the future will tell. both those things in details late in the tale later in the show. you have been talking about water sources an issue from a sudanese perspective but others would argue that the problem with sudan and egypt is that they go back to agreement that was signed almost 100 years. ago to claim exclusive rights when the world has changed and countries like if you are saying basically we need to build a dam for the sake of of our own economy our own population and 60 percent of our population does not have access to electricity this is the answer. i believe there
4:32 pm
is no problem about it or going to get it to the city or even to use words as this is her right this 2nd is sharing the world but there's a problem to my understanding since agreement of 1902 is that there is a deal between the government of sudan and the government of suicide the deal is that bottom so the un we have given to the yoga. as a consideration for that but the company's yoga is that whoever it intends to build any better structure who has a disease. or as up they should consult with the sudan and ugly before it is starting the new growers behati starting the building so i believe this is the problem since it's 2011 but it has never been discussed the discussion now is cause why it only to the fed is printing and i think this is not fair and this will not
4:33 pm
end the conflict because what there has been said by the super and by mr that is going to millions of be able to do the exam that means he will last 2 different whatever he has occurred in this negotiation since 2011 now i believe unless the rights of our city country just. got it this will be a year for a conflict in the future but then william if europeans would tell you that we were not part of the 1959 agreement and therefore as positive here is concerned everything should start from scratch do you see the potential for the need. to reinvent the whole agreements start from square one yes in many ways i think that would be the ideal solution and in fact there's already a treaty in place i mean it's not play in place because it's not been ratified by
4:34 pm
oh another countries but it's been drafted that's the co-operative framework agreement now which you all the countries in theory could sign up to now the idea of that treaty is to agree principles of equitable usage and then to establish a joint institution to manage the nile river basin now that's the ideal solution because then all countries can play their role and they can negotiate between each other about how to share this water resource the problem with the current legal framework is as you suggest ethiopia and other countries they do not accept it they do not accept the legality of a treaty that they were not party to so on the one hand you have egypt talking about historic rights but they stem from treaties that egypt that ethiopia and other countries do not accept so really yes an ideal solution is a new legal framework and already a substantive amount of work has been has been done to go towards that and that's
4:35 pm
the co-operative framework agreement now that obviously the sticking points about the text because if there wasn't then it would have been ratified in egypt and sudan would be on board so there needs to be further discussions those points need to be ironed out but i would suggest that that is the right way forward in the long term that's something which hopefully will occur after this initial conversation this an issue issue over the renaissance dam is solved. from your own perspective do you think this is an issue of concern about future water scarcity or do you think that the current levels of water have been traditionally poorly managed by both the sudanese and by the egyptian governments. that's a very good question in this whole argument yes it's a very good question and they said earlier water is been raised by many scholars we're united nation really bad lots of reward as one of the key issue and challenges for the future and i think you're right in both of them there is
4:36 pm
a issues here number one clearly they the very poor management of fortier emboss are down and there's no question about that an entire africa have failed too many it's water and produce electricity i already mentioned that so that's one item on the 2nd item is this whole technical this is as we when we teach students at the university which is a brick management but we also teach them something separately we call it make a broad or complex project this dam is actually both of them make a project on a complex project and this is a very serious he said jan brewer even it'll be in leading companies like or in countries like the u.k. . canada or the us they normally deal with very sophisticated lee it's not an easy brodrick so this to be given to a company which is there has to be somehow and as a business the military cause most of the chaos for the project the project information is lacking we don't know any scientific or wick not me many scientists
4:37 pm
many people who have looked into this issue of the down for the last 6 or 7 years you hardly find any data about their risk assessment about the environmental impact assessment about the economic assessment social economic impact community. backed on people and these are normally the key issues we look at them when we start thinking of a product like this so i think the major issue is border management yes worrying about the future because we don't do something we call it now forecast or future blending we know people are they think of what they're going to have been 2050 and when sudan or egypt or even as you'll be itself we are very short. right there for they you we people in these 3 countries and particularly egypt in sudan they should really leave this issue to the scientists using any of these economists as a community expert as a social scientist and that's where they don't know exactly what is happening in
4:38 pm
government in both countries ok lacking a common since you've been part of the negotiating team about the waters the idea of extending the thrilling period to 5 or 6 or 7 years plus releasing water to match something like $35000000000.00 cubic metres a year is that enough does it satisfy the needs of both sudan and isms. to really my and that is standing in the furthest filling of the this is not the issue to me the issue is as in where she asians have been running since 2011 without any legal framework so it is a learn to matter for them where it is there is dignifying where there is a bilateral meeting with so unless this negotiations are conducted within a legal framework we cause. everybody is not the only should they what is there are more than 450 miles or are honest russians are just lies and thus it was started
4:39 pm
by illegal for them to agree to the rights of saudi and then you come to this is malitia 1st feeling so what is the issue here from from a father so there is concern the need for a new legal framework or what what we need is we need a world of security and this has been agreed on a bone and the. agreement without any refuse or from any knowledge base in country including issue would be so what i am proposing is that unless this negotiations are built on those agreed with incentives in the entity which has taken 20 years of negotiations so i will just discover that and start new and then in towards $1015.00 come on come up with the collaboration of principles. this is a problem and i think even now. if she will agree to 7 years or 6 years for the 1st really i think this will serve as
4:40 pm
a probably for the 1st the media it needs but for the future needs will come i see you're going iraq where the problem will come again william when you listen to the to the concerns voiced by the egyptians to a certain extent you feel you feel you feel the anxiety there because they can they're concerned that if they implement these 3 appears implements what they're trying to do with the dam this is something that could wipe out. business is it is it bush millions of farmers are 2 of business is going to create a massive massive massive problem for egypt. potentially i mean if things went badly then i mean this is why it's such an important issue because of those potentially severe consequences that you are referring to but the important thing or one of the important things to understand here or to recognize is that there does seem to be
4:41 pm
a technical compromise here and you talked about the 35000000000 meters figure and a period of 4 to 7 years now that's relevant because that's the sort of figure and that's the sort of period that experts believe the dam can be filled at and it can be done in a way which doesn't cause significant water supplies downstream to sudan and egypt but the absolutely key thing here is flexibility and that flexibility relates to the variable rainfall but my understanding is that the egyptians biggest concerns other they do not have an agreement on minimum releases and they do not have an agreement from ethiopia they will be flexible in all circumstances including drought conditions this is this is really what's needed i think that yeah that we're talking about about both done a little bit in the details about what's happening now but then when you you were talking previously about the need for forward planning so in 2050 as to miss
4:42 pm
suggest that a 1000000000 people will live in countries through which the nile and its tributaries flow so we're talking about a population growth that would pose strains and challenges on a continent. how to tackle this issue in the near future. i think the tech of this in the future i think they you share this with any of them this year b. and they should leave you work collectively and constructively with as our african partners because the problems in africa are huge and we need to consider this as an african issue rather than face european or should any zone a huge shion that's number one and number 2 we need to understand i give you just one example and the united nations reporting 2016 if i remember correctly talking about renewable energy it stead of that south korea broad used electricity grid that then the entire african continent just imagine thouse korea alone
4:43 pm
production of electricity is greater than the entire continent so this should be considered as an african issue number one and number 2 they need to understand this issue will have serious environmental economical and so sure. effects in the future and number 3 which is very important they have to bring experts expect i mean here broderick management expect complex project expected social scientists economists and they have to be independent and what do you mentioned earlier about sudan is trying to negotiate between both egypt and bia i don't think that's the right way we solve the problem all right these i need to look to the bigger picture this business is going to a sustainable development issue and it need to be lifted to expect within the can we have expert in all this ok trees we need to look to international experience
4:44 pm
