Saying that parliament has to vote on this state of emergency in order for it to be legal we understand that the emergency session of parliament will be held tomorrow to do exactly that certainly the opposition are putting pressure on the government to follow the kind of legal parameters that this country is proud of setting up in recent years but as i say in the last few days the chaos that weve seen on the streets seems to suggest that all those legal parameters seem to be falling apart.

Program the struggle over the nile is coming up next more news later on in about 25 minutes time ill see that i found. The order. The novel. The worlds longest river. A 7000 kilometer lifeline for almost 400000000 people. Flowing north the nile runs through 10 countries. The highlands in the heart of africa the shores of the mediterranean sea. A source of sustenance but also one of tension even attentional conflict. The nile is the key to a geopolitical rivalry in the region. At its heart is egypt. Where suspicions about former enemies. And tensions with an age old civilization reveal deep seated fears about water scarcity and losing control of the river nile. Alexandria egypts main city on the mediterranean. Here in march 1903 the founder of political zionism disembarked on a special mission. Theodore hurt souls goal was to secure a homeland for the jews. One year earlier he had petitioned for such a homeland to be allowed in palestine then part of the ottoman empire. The request was rejected by Sultan Abdul Hamid the 2nd. So hurtful took a contingency plan to egypt. A country then under british occupation. Some british officials floated the idea and even initially toyed with the idea of accepting a small temporary jewish entity zionist entity in northern sinai around. Design he said well its a step from there to palestine so it brings us closer to the homeland. The plan involved the 1st phase settlement in the sinai of some 20000. 00 jewish immigrants to be followed by successive numbers to total 100000. There was plenty of space in the sinai desert but the area lacked one basic element of life water. However proposed a remarkable solution to divert some of the nile waters to the desert region. As. This settlement was going to need water. Plan was for the water to be carried from a branch of the nile pipelines under the suez canal and. The water would then travel over 150 kilometers to the settle. The british high commissioner in egypt. Rejected a proposal. Egypt at that time was the main source of cotton for the british textile industry. Geisha engineers warned that diverting the nile waters would damage egypts cotton production and therefore affect British Economic interests. The idea of a jewish homeland in the sinai was never implemented. But over 70 years later plans to divert the nile waters reemerged. In november 1977 egyptian president anwar sadat arrived at tel Avivs Ben Gurion airport. To visit mark the start of peace negotiations between so that and the israeli Prime Minister menachem begun. Israel was in a strong bargaining position occupying the sinai jerusalem the West Bank Gaza and the golan heights. So that wanted the arab land back but had fewer bargaining chips. He definitely wanted a prince of peace but i think 2 things. Affected that is that is a. Big in a very devious policy. To custard people but you know he by prime time and president was under pressure from. Ending. In the ongoing negotiations said that aware of israels water needs knew he held at least one strong card the river nile. In december 1979 the egyptian magazine october known to be a mouthpiece for sadat published a sensational report the headline on the front page read the nile to reach jerusalem. They article reported that sadat had ordered blueprints prepared for the construction of a canal to carry the nile waters to israel in exchange for a comprehensive Peace Agreement in the middle east. Where there were these dreams about you know egyptian israeli cooperation and peace that will be prevailed in this region and you know people saw that. There are no limits or. Some people start thinking and these terms you know the denial should be use for Sinai Peninsula and maybe also to israel. The 2 countries made peace but any plan to divert the nile to israel never materialized. To this day many gyptian is believe the reported offer was more a negotiating ploy than a meaningful proposition. Them in the head that. This was a good trick played by said that while the analysts gave he gave the israelis false hope in order to secure the signing of the peace accord what did he did they were mighty but he never planned to implement the nile offered by economics. But the nile waters were eventually diverted. In january 1997 so that successor. Officially opened the tunnel carrying nile waters under the suez canal. The waters flowed into the socalled peace can now extending into the sinai some egyptians suspected israel might be the ultimate destination of the canal. At the inauguration ceremony mubarak seemed to address such suspicions. Possibly. Like i look at dinner family dish had. Now how did the im under much and i was up. Today the peace canal runs 80 kilometers eastwards into sinai. It allows for the irrigation and development of farmland reclaimed from the desert. The idea of diverting the nile to the sinai 1st proposed by theodore heard so is now a reality. Just 115 kilometers from the end of the canal and across egypts International Border is the negev desert. Forming over half of israels total land area. The negev as a land thirsty for water. These rallies have sought to manage their limited water sources and deny the need for the extension of the peace canal saying it would be surplus to requirement if youre talking about the elation that when the nile and the. Relations and we dont see that we are going to use this water in the future we solve our own problems in the negative in the cells and has no connection with the night. Faced with a water shortage and came to reclaim the desert israel has needed to find innovative solutions. Israel is the world leader in efficient water use in agriculture more crop per drop using. Say that drip irrigation other technologies that techniques and the technologies that are here are being utilized elsewhere in the. South America Africa wherever you go you will find Israeli Technology basically use in agriculture. That are now. Israels ambassador to kenya. Arrives to a warm welcome from local farmers in the village of garage on the outskirts of nairobi hes clear on his assignment. The idea the basic idea is to assist communities of farmers to achieve much more yield much more crops with less labor with less water and even with less fertilizers and pesticides as. These Women Farmers are beneficiaries of this assistance. By passing on its know how and donating equipment israel is empowering local communities in africa and winning friends. We are so impressed me them because they identify the ends who go right down to see the needs of the people and so for us in this village we have a very happy medium. But others in africa believe that israels presence there particularly in upstream nile countries like kenya has more to do with politics than an aid. Society or israel is not a charity. The end it seeks to harm egypt there was nothing new in that the midst. Its the nature of israeli politics and if it didnt operate in that way. Then it would not be easy for. The since its establishment in 1948 surrounded by hostile arab neighbors israel has sought friends where it can. In Africa Israel built relations with newly independent non arab states. Egypt grew increasingly concerned about israels activities on the continent. They suspected the israelis of trying to politically outflank egypt by befriending countries that could influence the flow with egypts lifeline the river nile. Historically the most important relationships israel built on the african continent where with uganda ethiopia kenya kenya. And its no coincidence that all of them are upstream countries where the nile originates and they did build relationships with other countries but the river nile was the major factor behind the formation of israeli policy and strategy. The. Resident master of the united arab republic style. Summit meeting in march. African leaders. But israel faced tough competition for friends in africa. Egyptian president abdel nasser was also building allies of his own in the region. His struggle for independence and nonalignment resonated with many africans. In 1963 egypt became one of the Founding Member states of the organization of african unity. Following the 1967 war the organization condemned israels occupation of parts of egypt and other arab countries and demanded the withdrawal of israeli troops from all occupied arab territories. The african view of israel is a small struggling country that pose no threat began to change. Israel was very weak at that point and clearly it couldnt do anything about it gyptian role in africa. Shortly after the arab israeli war in october 1973 the majority of african countries severed relations with israel d. Nasser successor anwar sadat failed to capitalize on africas strategic shift away from israel. Didnt want to just follow in nassers footsteps he wanted to blaze his own trail. He chose to focus on building relations with the west and securing peace with israel he turned his back on the pan african policies nasser had pursued. Almost forgot to tell on. Egypt once played a commanding role in africa but in the 1970 s. Egypt neglected this role who wouldnt this resulted in the withdrawal of egypts presence in africa countries there started to think egypt had abandoned them because. The barak followed a similar strategy to his predecessor. In 1905 an event took place that would set the seal on the bar of turning away from africa. In june of that year arriving in the ethiopian capital addis ababa to attend an african summit. Mubaraks motorcade was ambushed by islamist militants here on the airport road. Mubaraks bullet proof car saved his life his bodyguard shot dead the gun. Following this attack and for the rest of his term in office mubarak chose to send ministers or delegates to african summits rather than attending himself with egypts friends in the region believe this president ial absence was a strategic error allowing israel to once again gain a political foothold in africa. As a poet once said document our enemies do not break through our borders instead they crawled like ants through our weaknesses. By the 1990 s. Many of the upstream nile basin countries had reestablished diplomatic relations with israel. And reopened their embassies in tel aviv. Today israel is building on these relations here on the outskirts of tel aviv these trainees from africa are learning innovative agricultural techniques to take back to their countries yellow as well as training is sponsored by the center for International Cooperation known as masha part of israels foreign ministry. But we are focusing and most of our work is really in africa probably about 40 percent of our resources and mostly towards Food Security guards had water related issues. Beyond Training Programs in israel. Also takes its aid overseas. Back in the kenyan village of karate. Women farmers grow Fresh Produce in a greenhouse donated by muschamp. The greenhouse which enables the woman to earn a living was officially donated to them by Israeli Foreign minister avigdor lieberman. Lieberman arrived in africa in september 2009 at the head of a large entourage even started 5 african states including 3 of the upstream nile basin countries kenya uganda and the o. P. s. The minister came with a big economic delegation representatives of more than 20 of the Biggest Israeli Companies we had business seminars with them business meetings and we see a very very big follow up in terms of business the. Opportunities for investments. Lieberman was the 1st Israeli Foreign minister to go on an african tour since the 1960 s. The sight of lieberman making friends and doing deals in the nile upstream countries around concern in egypt. Egyptians were once again worried these rallies were meddling in their backyard in a region holding the source of the nile. The african countries lieberman visited dismissed egyptian suspicions stating the visit was strictly business. And. Not the dictating. Government foreign minister has a paid. Visit come here or not at all. But it will reduce. Whatever 92 they did to simply this is a government the government business and i think its. But egyptian fears were not so easily a pieced. Liebermans visit coincided with a particularly tense point in egypts talks with the other nile basin countries to reach a new agreement over managing the nile waters. Egyptian suspected israel was behind the renewed pressure egypt faced to make concessions. So. That they start the year israel has had a Clear Strategy since it was established so it focuses on having a presence in the upstream not countries to create problems for egypt on the issue of water to encircle egypt and create internal difficulties what you are going to definitely because if egypt has a water crisis then it will have a development problem and a National Security issue it will not be able to guarantee a better life for egyptians and therefore it will be preoccupied with internal problems that is israels goal what is the slight you get. For their part israelis reject such notions but they are plotting with african states to outmaneuver egypt. I think this is another one of those arab conspiracy theories which unfortunately there are so many of them going around sometimes in one year i can stop myself lucky in what i read in an arab internet sites about all kind of conspiracies which are described as the israelis as people who. Come up scenarios that the craziest screenwriters in hollywood could even think about. In early 2011 egyptians took to the streets in open revolt. Against the government of hosni mubarak. On february 11th egypts Vice President announced mubaraks resignation from power ending 30 years of rule. Egyptians were exultant their complaints have been many. Among them was criticism of mubaraks failure to engage in constructive diplomacy with the other african states along the nile. Most of the us egypt has been absent from the city and in some. Of these 10 states are supposed to be members of the same family the offspring of one mother which is that of a night on which study can mount the id like brothers sharing the same life line in the uk about a book we should have engaged with them rather than wit
