11:05 pm
last. week the nile to the world's longest river. a 7000 kilometer lifeline for almost 400000000 people. flowing north the nile runs through 10 countries. the highlands in the heart of africa to the
11:06 pm
shores of the mediterranean sea. a source of sustenance but also one of tension even potential conflict. for centuries egypt has sought to be must of the not. seeking to tame the rivers some predictable flow until ensure exclusive control over its use. but today the country's upstream not challenging this dominance and end up pushing for a greater say and a greater share the river nile. cairo capital of egypt. a teeming metropolis.
11:07 pm
that has grown on the banks of the nile. was. it's the 1st day of spring when egyptians from the walks of life. flock to the river. to celebrate the arrival of the new season. with a kid to america feel the view of good and mostly every egyptian wants live by the nile is the thought that if they can't then at least they can sit and picnic they're living in the soviet it's the place of their dreams and mahmoud everybody from young lovers to troubled souls come here for different reasons either to enjoy themselves or to wash away their pain and see for him not.
11:08 pm
the ancient greek writer who wrote it has described egypt as being the gift of the nile it was a fitting description. we made to cities that run along and are only there because of the nile and the novels and it would just be another part of the so hard that you know it would just be dust and sand you couldn't live without and it is the life blood. 'd attached to this source of life 95 percent of the egyptian population lives along its banks just 5 percent of egypt's land the rest just desert. the miles maybe most commonly associated with egypt. but its waters begin their journey thousands of kilometers upstream. there are 2
11:09 pm
main sources of the river. one is the great lakes of eastern africa. and the other is in the ethiopian highlands where the majority of the nile waters originate. this is the summer rainy season in ethiopia. the rainfall forms gushing rivers and tributaries. they collect here in like ton. ethiopia's largest lake and
11:10 pm
a main source of the nile. the 600 year old monastery is situated on one of the lakes many islands. decorated with biblical paintings it belongs to the ethiopian orthodox church. the custody of the monastery is a dull it who believes the nile holds magical powers and is akin to god. patten as an unworldly an albino the nile is one of the 4 rivers mentioned in the holy bible that feeds heaven and i know that. the nile gives us as well as other countries like egypt all sorts of benefits mithun are you going to have and that. water isn't the nile's only get. the surging streams in ethiopia turn red
11:11 pm
would suit washed from the volcanic to turn. this silt rich in nutrients and minerals is born downstream. it was to prove a blessing for the 1st settlers in the nile valley thousands of years ago. each year rainfall in ethiopia caused the nile downstream to flood its banks in what is today egypt. this unusual phenomenon known by the ancient egyptians as the inundation was celebrated as a divine event. it was day find in the form of a god known as hobby. in minimum a most how happy if you look at the pictures of this character and graves on the walls of egypt's temples you find that have is their strange character on the whole
11:12 pm
he's a man with large breasts but not a woman welcome most of the caribbean he also has a petroleum belly so these 2 characteristics symbolize fertility and generosity granted by the nile xeon locals who what. was the key gift. when the nile flood receded the rich silt carried by the river remained behind fertilising the soil creating arable land in stark contrast to the surrounding desert. ancient egypt was the birthplace of agriculture. techniques developed thousands of years ago. are still in use to this day. early thunder in the earth envelop deal in what was still used the old plough the one foot by cattle. there are many cracked it here my uncle has attacked my
11:13 pm
neighbor has what everybody has attacked and that would what a one at any thought but i pray. the traditional method. the pharaohs have long since passed from the stage of history but some of their legacy and years. from time immemorial the river has been a subject of adoration. and diana news all found a full mile all bountiful in iowa old bountiful mild ancient egyptians exulted the river nile there's an old chant that goes people don't eat jewels they eat the bread made from the wheat that grew on the banks of the river nile and. but there's a duck aside to this love of the nile. such adoration can lead to
11:14 pm
possessiveness. to the egyptians the nile is unquestionably their river above and beyond the claims of any other nile basin country. by the early 1906 great britain ruled the length of the nile. egypt was strategically crucial as the suez canal controlled access to india the jewel in the crown of the british empire. to co-opt the allies in 1929 britain awarded the egyptians exclusive control of the nile to phuket does how it should in the 1929 agreement stated that egypt had the right to veto any project on the nile that would affect its share of the waters or the flow
11:15 pm
of the river to the north towards egypt. this stipulation was based on the fact that egypt comes. lethally depends on the nile waters while the upstream countries have other water sources. 30 years later in 1959 a 2nd agreement was signed. for huge from colonial over rule egypt and sudan agreed on dividing the rivers waters. during the 1960 s. african nations upstream gained independence. nowadays these countries are challenging agreements signed when they were under colonial rule. look at the legal instrument and then. we had 2 countries sit down make us a thing now and that need to said then tell what us them said and knowing really
11:16 pm
where this what that that they want to share within the 2 countries actually. to this day egyptians regard the 929 and 959 agreements as technically binding. egypt has its reasons for wanting to uphold the treaties. that share of the nile waters has remained at 55 and a half 1000000000 cubic meters a stipulated in the 1959 agreement. however since then egypt's population has tripled to over 80000000. taking the country into water poverty. if you do not have it at these agreements give us a minimum amount of water. less than what we actually need we aren't homing any of
11:17 pm
the nile basin countries they don't need the noise they get their water from nature . annual amount of rainfall at the sources of the normal is $1.00 trillion cubic meters egypt and sudan use less than 5 percent of this amount the rest that's 95 percent is lost through evaporation in the swamps. but sometimes rainfall is not enough. famine has ravaged states through which the nile flows. here in ethiopia one of the river source is the failure of the annual rains has led to catastrophe in the past. millions have died.
11:18 pm
beyond such tragedy upstream states claim the past agreements violate their national sovereignty and prevent them harnessing the river for their own development. i know that some people in egypt. fashion i.d.'s. fashion i.d.'s based on the assumption that the night want to be long still and egypt and that egypt has a right to decide us for gets what of the night water and the countries that are unable to use the night water because it will be unstable and because doing before . this circumstances have changed and changed forever. the change came in may 2010 at a meeting going into uganda when the upstream countries took matters into their own hands. in an unprecedented move 6 of the 8 nations signed a new agreement declaring greater autonomy in decision making over the nile's
11:19 pm
waters aware of the agenda egypt and sudan had refused to attend. what was signed an entirely set off alarm bells in cairo. touching the very core of egyptian fear about its water source of a lot of us it is a red line for egypt existence. there is a difference between security and existence itself. we are wholly dependent on the nile we have no other water sources in 8 so the truth is that any threat against the nile waters will result in the reduction of egypt's share this would threaten us with thirst and.
11:20 pm
the specter of a water war looms over the region. for egypt securing the nile waters is a matter of national security even if it means military action. a common feeling shared by most egyptians. egypt would die what would we drink out of course we would fight we would fight anyone who attempts to stop i would force a water. 'd throughout its history egypt has been at the mercy of the nile. along the river columns such as this known as my limit as have been built to measure the height of the waters. controlling the river was of
11:21 pm
paramount importance. with the well being of the state dependent on the level of the annual flood waters. the key was in finding a way to reserve these waters for use during the drives some of periods. the ancient egyptians 1st attempted this. but it was the founder of modern egypt mohamed ali pasha who built the 1st ever down on the nile in the mid 19th century. to this day the old brick dam known as the delta still stands in a new land as long as i live in the nile was on muhammad ali's agenda it was extremely important because egypt was threatened by drought that if. you wanted more cotton and grain plantations as well since in those days egypt used to export
11:22 pm
these products to your. mohammad ali himself laid the dams 1st stone in 847. but this was only the beginning. as demand for water grew more irrigation projects were completed in the 1st half of the 20th century. but it wasn't until it early 1950 s. that egypt began to put in place plans to finally control the nile once and for all . in july 952 a group of army officers carried out a coup d'etat. egypt's king was dethroned then exiled a new regime to power. the main office a behind the coup was jamal abdul nasser we're going to gender to modernize and
11:23 pm
strengthen egypt. adoptive plans for a massive new dam to be built in southern egypt to harness the full potential of the nile. called the last one high dam it would be built on this stretch of river at a cost of some $1000000000.00 u.s. dollars egypt was going to need help. in the beginning britain and the united states went together and told. bank now says they were supporting them. however that support came with strings attached. egypt was expected to join the western camp. but nasa was his own man. in the cold war setting he was committed to a policy of non-alignment. a policy
11:24 pm
that displeased the americans. on july 19th 1956 john foster dulles the american secretary of state withdrew the offer to finance the us one high dam. nasa would not be intimidated one week later he hit back. with the. masses decision to nationalize the company that owned the strategic suez canal was a bombshell. the revenues paid by ships passing through the canal could help egypt finance the us one hide them. it was a trump card but it rattled the powers in europe and led to the suez crisis of
11:25 pm
$956.00. last. britain france and israel conducted a joint attack on egypt to win back control of the canal. british and french troops landed in port sight on the northern tip of the suez waterway. but this was as far as they went. the fading armies were forced to win. draw on the heavy international pressure from the united nations. egypt's relations with the west was shattered. nasser now look for friends elsewhere. in 1958 egypt signed an agreement with the soviet union for the financing of the hide them
11:26 pm
'd almost the russians egypt to others or 40500000000 finally this was not a question egypt paid back these loans from the suez canal revenue as reese. with the soviet loans nasa inaugurated the start of construction of the us one high down in general 960. the project was immense. it is said that enough rock was used in the construction of the dam to build 17 great pyramids. through the 11 years of construction egyptians sold the dam as a symbol of national pride and defiance to the west. the shop a muslim operetta lot of the egyptian people proved that g.q. he and bracing behind them project we should only they glorify it in their songs in
11:27 pm
t.v. and radio shows movies plays and everyday activities that's how it became such an icon of the nation it was shot something everybody rattie behind. him in. massa the father of the project never lived to see the completion of the dam. 2 just 4 months before construction was finished he died of a heart of. at. the opening ceremony in january 1971 was attended by egypt's new president anwar sadat's. the dam save the flow with over 30000000000 cubic meters of floodwater each year water that otherwise would be lost into the mediterranean sea
11:28 pm
. behind the dam a huge manmade reservoir known as lake massah was created. the water held in this lake was egypt's insurance policy against the river's unpredictable flood. they also. gave the egyptians a guarantee that the rain always the water there i mean during the drought. in the night the 7th is not in the eighty's. in sudan and i feel though. that if since they could go on cultivating us before because i'd always walk behind the down as well. but perhaps most important it was that. in a way and that's a. given now in the. elsewhere the river remained untamed. upstream countries were still at the mercy
11:29 pm
of the nile and. experiencing at times either famine. or devastating floods. but playing with nature was to prove costly for the river and for all those living off it. and. corruption it is that invisible behind a wall of silence by against russia corruption is not something to be taller than it. is on the african. country his easy meal let's destroy this wall. came in 2020 the free space overlord encourages the heroes who are fighting against
11:30 pm
corruption this helps our communities to save the resources that we need in order to address the burning problems that affect us all. shine a light on your anti corruption hero. nominate now. oh i maryam namazie in london quick look at headlines now there are reports that at least 2 protesters have been killed in egypt after thousands of people defied a police crackdown to demonstrate against the government for a 6th straight day dozens were arrested when the homes were raided ahead of the protests people as i'm on in the resignation of president of the fatah sisi the protests are in response to a call from exile that to us mohammed ali who what he called a day of rage. well in our other top stories countries around europe are recording
11:31 pm
the recording record numbers of new coronavirus cases as a 2nd wave tightens its grip on the continent france has just reported on to 16000 new cases in the past 24 hours it's also confirmed 150 deaths from the virus in the last day triple the dating levels a week ago what is worrying to us is an increase in hospitalizations and an increase in bed occupancy for hospitalizations and also in i.c.u. . we're at the end of september not even towards the end of september and we haven't even started our flu season yet so what we are worried about is the possibility you know that these trends are going in the wrong direction. the family of briana taylor has condemned a kentucky grand jury decision to charge only one of the officers involved in a killing in march on thursday night protesters in louisville defied a curfew to demand justice for the 26 year old hospital worker the late u.s. supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has made history again becoming the 1st

11:33 pm
in the us one high down in. man's greatest ever effort to control the nile. get hold to the annual flood. and stored a huge supply of water 50 gypped behind its great wall. and the dam was hailed as a triumph of engineering and water management. but there was a price to be paid. of the sort that i didn't direct prior to the construction of the high down the river nile used to bring $4000000.00 tonnes of fertile silt each year that would deposit on the laptop out of the bottle it was like a natural fertilizer for tell you ok now. this silt washed from the ethiopian highlands was no longer carried into egypt.
11:34 pm
it now dropped uselessly to the bed of the manmade reservoir behind the dam. deprived of the silt egyptian the farmers today rely increasingly an artificial fertilisers fire and c the only my grandfather and my father used to need only one sack of chemical fertiliser for an acre of land nowadays each acre needs a thief 7 said. the loss of natural 30 lety in egypt's farmland was not the only negative repercussion of the us one the high dam. the reservoir formed by the accumulation of waters behind the dam was named lake nasa. today
11:35 pm
it's one of the larger. manmade lakes in the world stretching over 500 kilometers. it straddles the borders of egypt and sudan an area known as new bia. situated on the banks of the river nile rubia was home to many ancient temples. but in the 1960 s. during the construction of the us one high dam the rising waters of lake nasser threaten to submerge these monuments. the united nations spearheaded an international rescue campaign. more than 20 temples were dismantled stone by stone and relocated to higher ground.
11:36 pm
the largest of these were the 2 giant temples of abu simbel built by the pharaoh ramses the 2nd. in their new location the temples remain a major tourist attraction in egypt to this day it's. archaeological sites were saved but people living in the area received no such consideration all. the newbie ns an ethnic group originating in southern egypt and northern sudan have lived beside the nile for thousands of years. i.e. movie of old newbie and live on the banks of the night denial is our life like fish
11:37 pm
we would die. if we left it they saw. this attachment to the river has proved a blessing but also because. during construction of the ass one low dam in 899 the newbie ns were forced to move. they were relocated here on the west bank of the nile in aswan. today the village of hobson hale is the most famous newby and settlement a place where tourists come seeking a glimpse of a traditional life. which i love that allowed people to start the modeling i grew up and worked with my uncle who taught me about sailing on the walk i worked with him into his i'm going to get on the bubble and now i have managed to
11:38 pm
buy my own small boat past. the newbie and community here has found a new way to make a living from the nile. but a 2nd major displacement of newbie ns was to prove far more dramatic. in may 964 egyptian president jamal abdul nasser and soviet leader nikita khrushchev attended celebrations marking the start of the 2nd stage of building the os one high dam. at the push of a button water levels behind the dam rose rapidly. the project was on track but at the expense of over $120000.00 newbie ends in
11:39 pm
both. egypt and sudan who were forced to move. out as i did the idea that it was very difficult to be pulled out of our homeland and taken to another place where they have all the good it was very harsh for the displacement my family suffered in the newbie and region was very painful it was a huge sacrifice anything that. they left everything behind many people died among the many children no one was given any time to do anything our people had to leave everything in a rush to catch the boat the movie. civilization dating back thousands of years was uprooted. the newbie in the school their homeland the land of gold. but it was now gone forever. just a meager sum of money. and
11:40 pm
a muscle and they wanted but with my father received 36 egyptian pounds in compensation for the house the land and everything else of the. egyptian and sudanese government's a promise the newbie ends better living conditions. but their new home away from the nile proved far from satisfactory and that a little bit in love it was and that they moved us into concrete buildings and at a stroke took away our history and civilization they wiped out our identity. they took us away from the nile. new beings are only happy when they have decide the nile but not a single resettlement village was by the river. there . are if jamal is a sudanese newbie and he was
11:41 pm
a. miles when the displacement occurred today he teaches african history in america after 50 years when you look at the new land that was acquired by the movie ends or within unions were displaced to is a miserable needing where you have an enormous amount of health problems you have very bad logistics and game massive migration but this time they look like refugees. fleeing. despite the cooma of displacement libyans have done their best to keep alive their traditions and their distinctive language. many newbie and song santa ana return to their last homeland. that dance is inspired by the gentle flow of the
11:42 pm
nile. you can never forget your homeland the place where you are born and the place where you die we live now in our memories. i am. i. there is still a large newby and community in northern sudan which remains on the land of its forefathers on the banks of the nile. but even they are now under threat. in 1992 the sudanese government announced its intention to. build
11:43 pm
a huge hydro power station here in new bia. the planned project known as the cash about dam would use the nile flow to boost sudan's power supply. once again the newbie ns face being sacrificed on the altar of development. there is no social order environmental assessment to get the communities against it we have talking about 99 villages and on the mind you are talking about one and a half 1000000 people we are talking about 1000000 acres of land we are talking about the last. place to just. that people live on we are talking about archaeology that did not even scratch the surface. of. the sudanese government put the project on hold but for the newbie and it
11:44 pm
remains an ever present menace. it's just like a nightmare or a threat every now and then we hear the president talking about reviving this project which is. if they build the cars over this would be the last of the wonderful and. environmental and human factors have made many international donors wary of providing loans for large hydrological schemes on the nile. but the rise of a new power on the world stage has given new momentum to unconditional lending. china. hydro power industry. and a few years ago they appeared on the global scene. they started funding
11:45 pm
projects which had before because nobody wanted to touch them. the metal. is one such project. it was officially opened in 2009. by sudanese president omar al bashir and the great celebration. the dam was seen as the solution to the country's shortage of power. its huge turbines using the river flow to generate electricity. but the sudanese had initially found it difficult to get the project off the ground. the sudanese government had tried to attract funding from european governments from canada. from other sources for many years and they couldn't succeed because off and by
11:46 pm
medical concerns and human rights concerns. in 2003 chinese and sudanese officials put pen to paper on an agreement in which china would provide a substantial loan for the building of the merrily dam. but during the construction clashes erupted when the sudanese army moved in to evict locals from villages that were to be submerged by the dams reservoir. this was exactly the sort of humanitarian suffering which had influenced many creditors to shy away from financing the dam. in the end the protests came to nothing the project went ahead. as the waters rose behind the some 50000 sudanese had to leave their homes and much
11:47 pm
of their property. i don't know exactly what i lost everything i had over 101 piece is the government going to compensate us if not then i would only compensation is a from allowed on the island i doubt. africa's large dams have not reversed poverty they have not been dramatically increased electricity rates they have not dramatically improved water supply for people living there what they have done is help create a small industrial economy that tends to be companies from europe and elsewhere and so these benefits are really really concentrated in
11:48 pm
a very small elite. the number of hydro power stations along the course of the river nile is on the rise. with the exception of egypt the mild basin countries face a chronic shortage of power. large majorities of the populations in these countries do not have access to electricity. uganda is one such example. here on the nile close to its outlet from lake victoria there are 2 new hydro power stations. but combined they don't generate enough power for a country with a growing economy and an increasing population. 9 percent of
11:49 pm
our people have electricity 91 percent don't so we have an aggressive through an official program which is ongoing on the web the target that in the next 4 years this number which says today 90 percent should rise to 16 percent in the east. the nile in uganda is characterized by high speed rapids and waterfalls. one of the most well known is the murchison.
11:50 pm
it's an area that attracts tourists from around the world. and it's home to uganda as largest national park. the stricture brava here is ideal for those seeking the thrill of white water rafting.
11:51 pm
i i. close has been running rafting expeditions for tourists along the river since 1996 . he has made a decent living. but these fools are now threatened by the construction of a new dam. turtle was torn between the love of his work and his country's need for electricity. so from my comment about. just good and rough things good so it's for them to know what is good what is
11:52 pm
bitter between. christie but. our demo men i like you are often so much. i like you know so much. a new hydro power station being built here will flood the rapids and create a manmade reservoir. but the dam will meet only a fraction of the country's electricity requirements. in uganda the government is keen to exploit these fast flowing waters to generate power. another hydro power station is planned here further downstream of the karuna fools another project that threatens the natural flow of the river. if you force
11:53 pm
a lot of the dumbs it means you extracting more would. not support and as a result of their lake victoria the liberals when the down more than 2. lake victoria is the largest lake in africa. and one of the most renowned sources of the nile. yet it is slowly and gradually shrinking. increasing number of hydro power stations on the nile in uganda is drawing ever greater amounts of water out of the lake to move the turbines generating electricity. about half of the recent drop in like victoria which has been pretty extreme can be attributed to the stand there basically opened up and now water can
11:54 pm
be let out at any pace that the government chooses to. 3 countries share the waters of lake victoria. this. is the city of kisumu kenya's main port on the lake and the hub of its fishing industry. for 25 years thomas the good to that has fished here. he remembers the days when fish were once plentiful and business was good nowadays he's getting a much smaller catch. which we do know north and were raised we don't have enough fish in this lake because all the water is directed to that of a narrow margin and look at those rocks a while back you couldn't see them but now they show how much the water level has dropped and as they build more hydro post ations all the water and all the fish
11:55 pm
will go to uganda and to the nile looking for you when. the egyptians are content with the water continues to flow on downstream. they accept the nile partners building hydro power plants but they are not prepared to allow upstream countries to build dams that will reduce the amount of water reaching egypt. and i'm a lot of national i want to we don't have hostile intentions against anyone we don't go to war just for the sake of fighting but if someone is going to stop the water egypt will die of thirst then we will fight with all means available will it get that it will die. as populations increase and economies develop demand for the waters of the nile is intensifying. the question remains who owns the rivers water. perhaps they answer may lie in history.
11:56 pm
