Water Woes in Egypt.<\/strong> The Nile River flows through 10 nations before reaching Egypt. It is Egypt\u2019s major source of fresh water. Experts estimate that Egypt\u2019s demand for water will exceed its supply by 2017. Nations \u201cupstream\u201d from Egypt want to implement water-related energy projects, but are prevented from doing so by a 1929 British-initiated treaty that gives Egypt veto power over these nations. Referring to Egypt\u2019s control of the Nile, a western diplomat observed \u201cEgyptians are behaving with the Africans the way they accuse Israel of behaving with the Palestinians: they say they are ready to negotiate but without committing to the difficult issues.\u201d An Egyptian diplomat countered, \u201cEgypt only has water coming from the river. The Africans have it from the rains.\u201d Egypt\u2019s large population and strong military ensures its access to waters that originate in other nations (AFP<\/em>, May 12, 2010). For millennia, Egypt has played an influential role in world affairs. God prophesies that, at the end of the age, a king of the south (south of the Holy Land) will arise that will oppose a king of the north\u2014and Egypt could play a powerful role in this \u201csouthern\u201d kingdom. According to Bible prophecy, the northern king will overcome the southern king and take Egypt captive, along with its riches (see Daniel 11). Meanwhile, Egypt\u2019s water shortages will put pressure on the nation and those sharing the Nile\u2019s tributaries. This could foment future turmoil in this region where peace is scarce.<\/div>\n <\/strong><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
