. When ethiopia tried to tap water from blue Nile for the massive dam they are building , Egypt was furious and threatened military action on them because there will be less water for domestic use in egypt ...

Now if the water is alot, Egypt will focus less attention on Ethiopia and Ethiopia will fill in their dam. So yes Ethiopia are more happy than Egypt when river nile has more water

Ethiopia is going ahead with the Grand Renaissance Dam Project in spite of Egypt's, and to a lesser extent, Sudan's threats. But I feel they are more driven by regional jealousy than hydrological science.

Agreed but Sudan tends to benefit more from importing hydro Power from that dam than seeing Ethiopia as a threat but you are right ..

Not really, but their needs. Most parts don't have power and still they are wooing international investors to invest in sze

Sudan has been speaking with both sides of their mouth on the issue. Success of the dam would embolden other Nile Basin countries to defy the 1929 Nile Treaty that forbid upstream countries from interfering with the flow of the Nile. While common and economic sense tells them they will gain from cheap power, emotional sense makes them stand with their moslem brothers to the north.

It is Egypt I meant was driven by regional jealousy. Ethiopia needs a lot of stable power for their industrialization and to drive their trains.

It makes sense. Everyone in the Nile Basin Initiative feels disgruntled by the u-dictator handed to Egypt by the treaty.
