Water Wars and the Nile Basin

 US Arab Radio hosted a one hour podcast on 6 August 2021 titled "Water Wars: Death by Thirst or Death by Bullets?" hosted by Atef Abdel Gawad.

The panelists were Omer R. Ahmed, Ethiopian journalist and commentator on Africa; Mohamed Nasr Allam, Cairo University professor and Egypt's former minister of water resources and irrigation; Adel Darwish, British journalist and co-author of a book on water wars in the Middle East; and myself.

Most of the program focused on the Nile Basin and differences between Egypt and Ethiopia on the use of Nile water.
