Will Egypt attack Ethiopia? | Inside Story

Egypt's share of the Nile river's water is 'untouchable'.
And if that supply is affected by the Ethiopian Grand Renaissance dam, there will be severe regional consequences.
That's the warning from the Egyptian president who's country is in a years-long dispute with Ethiopia over the hydropower project.
Ethiopia is building the $5B mega-dam on the Blue Nile river.

So does that mean El Sisi will go to war?
And has diplomacy run out?
