The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) published a commentary that first appeared in Al-Ahram Weekly on 13 February 2014 titled "Globalizing Water Projects" by Helmi Sharawy, former director of the Arab and African Research Centre in Cairo. 

The author argues for a global approach to African water issues, including differences among countries in the Nile Basin.

Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Nile Water

The Egyptian private daily newspaper, Youm 7, asked me to respond to a series of questions concerning Egypt's relations with Ethiopia and the impact of Ethiopia's new Renaissance Dam on Egypt.  I submitted my responses on 1 June 2013, before the Egyptian public relations debacle on this issue noted in a posting below dated 5 June 2013.  Youm 7 published the interview translated into Arabic on 6 June 2013.  You can also read the original English version titled "Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Nile Water."
