Its the time to kick your ilk from Arabia pack up go back home or you can go to Ethiopia there you can preach Secularism Rafdiasim/Shiasim/Khoamisim/hinduism... etc certainly not In Arabia.
KSA is embarking on an impressive political reform drive which is intended to limit influence of pan-islamism and pan-arabism on state politics. They are now geared toward adapting a sane headed European style approach to national politics and build strong regional alliance among GCC countries. So I am sure there is little extra place in the cave for your esteemed highness as well!
@topic KSA will not allow that little zionist tool to control over Egypt and Sudan. Such matter must be discussed and agreed upon by all parties. The accusation came from the deputy minister of defense Prince Khalid enough and strong message to whomever behind Ethiopia pushing Egypt and Sudan in a corner considering their circumstances and the difficulties both facing as we speak. Souther Sudan and Ethiopia should behave or will get taught how to.
FOA, KSA has invested heavily in Ethiopian agri sector to ensure its own food security therefore considerable amount of Saudi and GCC investment is at stake if any action against Ethiopia is to ensue and not to mention this agriculture investment drive is a motivational factor behind the dam.

Secondly, KSA provided full support to peaceful settlement of South Sudan dispute and extended full diplomatic recognition to South Sudan. The root of Sudan vs South Sudan conflict lies in the same state level identity crisis we see affecting a number if Islamic countries.
KSA will mop the floor back and fourth with your backward nation takes you even way back to early stone ages far away from the one you live in right now. You should realize that the announcement was made by DM of defense a message with a sharp edges economically,politically and militarily. You heard the man. Who is Ethiopia a failed state and corrupted army! it was assigned lately to be another Zion arm in the region along with south Sudan to further weaken Egypt and Sudan!
Do you really call that an army? 120k personnel with 200 million defense budget and soviet junks!
Easy dude, no place for such imperialist and expansionist attitudes in modern world!
Last time Omar al Bashir tried to mop the floor with some poor backward Africans and ended up losing the most vital resource rich region of his country!
The personal strength of Ethiopian Army is 400,000 Personals and it is considered a battle hardened army having taken parts in many conflicts at home and abroad.
Now seriously - what does Egypt and Sudan has got to offer? One is ruled by forefathers of Al Quaida and the second has just lost the most significant resource rich part of his country and has a bounty on his head for war crimes!!!
Now on topic about the dam!
Cost and financing
The Ethiopian government has stated that it intends to fund the entire cost of the dam by itself. It has issued a bond targeted at Ethiopians in the country and abroad to that end.[6]
The turbines and associated electrical equipment of the hydropower plants costing about US$1.8 billion are reportedly financed by Chinese banks. This would leave US$3 billion to be financed by the Ethiopian government through other means.[13] The estimated US$4.8 billion construction cost, apparently excluding the cost of power transmission lines, corresponds to more than 15% of Ethiopia’s Gross Domestic Product of US$31 billion in 2009.
The Chinese will not be happy about anyone meddling in their business.
Impact on Sudan and Egypt
The precise impact of the dam on the downstream countries is not known. Egypt and Sudan fear a temporary reduction of water availability due to the filling of the dam and a permanent reduction because of evaporation from the reservoir. The reservoir volume is about equivalent to the annual flow of the Nile at the Sudanese-Egyptian border (65.5 billion cubic meter). This loss to downstream countries would most likely be spread over several years.
Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan are in the process of establishing an International Panel of Experts to review and assess the study reports of the Ethiopian Great Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile. The panel will consist of 10 members; 6 from the three countries and 4 international in the fields of Water Resources and Hydrologic modelling, Dam Engineering, Socioeconomic, and Environmental. The dam would retain silt. It would thus increase the useful lifetime of dams in Sudan – such as the Roseires Dam, the Sennar Dam and the Merowe Dam – and of the Aswan High Dam in Egypt. The beneficial and harmful effects of flood control would affect the Sudanese portion of the Blue Nile, just as it would affect the Ethiopian part of the Blue Nile valley downstream of the dam.[21] Nevertheless, Sudan and Egypt have serious concerns about the project; Egypt has requested that it be allowed to inspect the design and the studies of the dam, in order to allay its fears, but Ethiopia has denied the request unless Egypt relinquishes its veto on water allocation.[22]
There is no international treaty for the sharing of the waters of the Blue Nile between Ethiopia on the one hand and Sudan and Egypt on the other hand. A 1959 Nile treaty between Egypt and Sudan does not include Ethiopia. A Nile treaty signed by the upper riparian states in 2010, the Cooperative Framework Agreement, has not been signed by either Egypt or Sudan.[23] The Nile Basin Initiative provides a framework for dialogue among all Nile riparian countries.
And now some News:
Ethiopia outraged over Saudi official
Sorry, I couldn't hold myself. KSA army nowadays is too different my friend, their air force is the fourth strongest in the world right now. You are talking about a war that happened 23 years ago with Iraqi army which was the fifth strongest at the time. However, I am not aware of the issue in details to discuss it with you but hope Ethiopia reaches an agreement with Egypt and Sudan.
Three elements make for a successful air force.
1. Quality
2. Quantity
3 Battle experience.
The Saudi have the first two but almost next to nothing when it comes to real air-2-air combat experience. Same was true about Saddam and same was true about Arabs when they all ganged up on Israel and got spanked until red. Its all about the man in the machine not the quality and quantity of weapons and ammo on the ground!
If only you could read arabic.
