According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Eritrea's TRWR stands at approximately 6.3 km³ per year. In contrast, Egypt's TRWR is about 66.8 km³ per year.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚
Both Eritrea and Egypt rely on external renewable water resources (ERWR) from Ethiopia. Eritrea receives about 3.5 km³/year, while Egypt receives an estimated 58.3 km³/year.

𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒂:
The percentage of Eritrea's surface water resources originating from Ethiopia can be calculated as:

Percentage=( ERWR/TRWR​ )×100= (3.5/6.3)×100≈55.6%

This means that approximately 55.6% of Eritrea's total renewable water resources come from rivers originating in Ethiopia.

𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝑬𝒈𝒚𝒑𝒕:
The percentage of Egypt's surface water resources that come from Ethiopia can be calculated using the formula:

Percentage=( ERW R/TRW R​ )×100= (58.3/66.8)×100≈87.3%

This indicates that approximately 87.3% of Egypt's total renewable water resources are sourced from Ethiopia.

In summary, rivers originating from Ethiopia play a significant role in the water resources of both Eritrea and Egypt. For Eritrea, the Mareb and Tekezé rivers contribute about 55.6% to the country's total renewable water resources.

These rivers are crucial for various aspects of Eritrea's development, such as agriculture and hydropower. On the other hand, nearly 87.3% of Egypt's total renewable water resources come from the Blue Nile river in Ethiopia. This river is vital for Egypt's agriculture, drinking water supply, and also holds cultural and historical significance.



𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: The percentage is derived from the total water volume that flows into a country, rather than from the individual rivers. So even if multiple rivers contribute to Egypt's renewable water resources, the overall percentage originating from Ethiopia will remain the same as long as the total volume doesn't change.

In my article, mentioning the individual rivers like the Blue Nile, Atbara, and Sobat adds depth and context. It helps readers understand the various pathways through which Ethiopian waters reach Egypt. But, as I pointed out, the key statistic of approximately 87.3% of Egypt's renewable water resources coming from Ethiopia is based on the total volume, not the individual rivers.

Full Story: Reports spread about casualties in an armed clash between members of the Sudanese Armed Forces and Ukrainian forces present at the Wadi Saydna military base north of Omdurman. According to some unconfirmed sources, ten casualties fell on the part of the armed forces and eight Ukrainian fighters.

The armed clash broke out after a dispute took place between the forces present at the Wadi Saydna air base against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict between the Palestinian resistance and the Israeli Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip.

The Ukrainian forces support the Israeli side in the conflict that has been ongoing since the seventh of October, and the elements of the Palestinian resistance are considered terrorists and bear responsibility for what Massacres and crimes targeting civilians are occurring in the Gaza Strip, and this is what provoked some members of the Sudanese Armed Forces before the dispute turned into a direct armed clash.

A leaked conversation by a member of the Sudanese Armed Forces was spread on social media confirming that there was an armed clash and that one of his colleagues was injured.

My God.

So is this really what we're going to do now? Just sit back and watch a genocide happen on the telly? Then decades from now, when it's in the history books, all look round at each other and ask, 'how did that happen?'

For the first time, I truly understand how mass atrocities have been able to occur throughout history - again, and again, and again. We never learn.

What does the death count need to be before someone finally speaks against this madness and urges restraint, not more arms? 10,000? 100,000?

A million? More? When have enough Palestinians died?

I get that lots of us are scared to speak up. I get we're afraid to say the "wrong thing. But I won't sit by in silence and live with the fact that I never spoke up when an atrocity on this scale was committed because of fear. We can express our complete condemnation for what the Israeli govt are doing and also assert our unwavering belief in the equal value of Palestinian lives, without inciting hatred against Jewish communities - another persecuted people. Indeed, many Jewish and Israeli people, in the midst of their deep grief and knowing the pain of persecution too well, have had the bravery and strength to be the very first to do so.

This is quite simple. We are watching an occupied, oppressed people face annihilation by a nuclear state with the full backing of the western world. This is not - and has never been - an 'equal fight'. Right now, it is a massacre on a scale I don't think I've ever seen in my life.

6,000 bombs dropped in 6 days already. On a strip of land just 25 miles long and 7.5 miles wide at its widest point. Whole neighbourhoods flattened. Families wiped out. Hospitals collapsing under the weight of the casualties. On a population of 2 million - half of them children. 70% of them refugees. And now, the forced movement of 1 million people. A choice of forced migration or death is ethnic cleansing. The fact that it is impossible for that many to leave in that time means that this is now a genocide.

We have gone way, way beyond wishy washy 'praying for peace', 'all life is precious' IG statements, posted to show you've done your bit of performative activism. Show you mean it. If you have any kind of platform right now, please use it. Speak. Because it's becoming glaringly obvious that the world is happy to walk into an unspeakable horror that we didn't even bother to try to prevent.’

Do you know how security was built in the middle east? I'll tell you briefly. The Americans and their company would come in and beat anyone who didn't agree with the rules.  You either get beaten or you get bought.
All for control of oil and the petrodollar, frankly.
This happens when the global empire loses its influence and the local players get stronger.  The cycle repeats itself about every 100 years or so.Look at Britain. They've been through it.  Today you're being offered a world of equals. Yes, that multipolar world.
The main problem for the U.S., which is now losing influence, is to find the ability not to retain it, but to retain itself as the American people. In other words, it is no longer time to think about hegemony, but about what is inside America - America itself.

🇷🇺🇵🇸 Russia has developed a draft UN Security Council resolution on a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

🇵🇸 Hamas, in turn, made a statement in which it indicated that it appreciates the position of Vladimir Putin and the efforts made by Moscow to resolve the situation in the Gaza Strip.

❗️Moreover, Hamas believes that Russia can play a key role in ending the military escalation in the Middle East that occurred due to Israeli aggression. The head of the Hamas National Bureau for Relations with Foreign Countries, Ali Baraka, told TASS.
