Al Amir Kamal Faraj website has launched an Egyptian popular campaign to defend Nile River, which now faces threats that were never exposed to throughout its history. Ethiopia builds a "Renaissance Dam", which threatens to reduce the water quotas for downstream for Egypt and Sudan, and threatens water security in Africa in general.

The supervisor of the site Amani Yassin has stated that "the campaign came in response to a sense of popular Egyptian rejection of Ethiopian practices that began years ago because of the construction of a giant dam on the Nile without regard to international law Organizations for such projects that threaten the water security of the States, and also without regard to the international conventions that documenting Egypt's quotas of water.

She added: "The press reports that Ethiopia will not be satisfied with such a devastating dam, and it plans to build another 11 dams, as well as Sudan, which opens the door to the process of confrontation, and threatens the natural water resources in the African continent, which may cause the States to go through a fight , instead of cooperation, which threatens world peace. "

Yassin explained, that "the experts have confirmed that the next wars will be for water, where several regions of the world suffering from water scarcity, which puts in front of the world's moral and political responsibility to prevent disputes resulting from water in its beginning, and prevent such problems from evolving, and turning into conflicts affecting their development. "

Yassin showed that the "campaign program has numerous data to include about the dam Renaissance of Ethiopian version, and the ongoing negotiations between Ethiopia , Egypt and Sudan, and to inform the public opinion about the developments in these negotiations, as well as the deployment of what is available from studies on the Renaissance dam, besides the potential future risks addressing the Arab and international institutions in this case to form a situation about this issue concerning Egypt , Ethiopia , and Africa; to halt work on the dam until the availability of reliable studies that confirm its safety, and do not impact on Egypt's water quota "

She pointed out that “One of the objectives of the campaign is also raising awareness to protect the Nile from all types of attacks and abuses, making the water a matter of Life or Death.”

She stressed that "the campaign trusts the Egyptian political leadership ability to protect the Nile using diplomatic and legal means, wishing to reconcile and overcome this crisis to protect the region from facing inevitable fights in the case of the continuation of the Ethiopian side in the stubbornness and arrogance ignoring the rights of Egypt's water, with the willingness of each option, including the option of force, with regard to the timing of these options. Since the lack of a good estimation of the timing makes the country miss out on an important and decisive choice. "
