Ethiopia: the enduring food crisis and legal politics of the Nile RiverBy Tadesse Kassa, Doctoral Research Fellow, University of OsloThe enduring state of deprivation and...
I have come across your 'research paper' and read it with concern hoping to learn if there exists legal loopholes to allow Ethiopia applying its 'equitable share' under the nternational law. I was unable to note such an angle. Instead it appears that you dwelt too much on Ethiopia's weakness in its ablility to negotiate and manouver in 1902 todate. HaileSelassie was the main allay of USA and the West since 1942 and yet Ethiopia is still in no positon to develop the Blue Nile basin to feed its people. I am eager to read your final solution to this permament problem in your doctorial thesis. Ethiopia has a problem but what is the possible solution?

Genetic engineering isn't the answer. This solution may fill stomachs, but is, and will be in the future, a cause of disease. Science does not (by "it's" own admission) even understand all of the substances in the common foods we eat; it cannot identify their function in the plant or the role they play in the human body, yet scientists want to modify the genetic structure of a "substance" that they do not even fully understand or perceive in its entirety. This, in a scientific view and otherwise, is extremely problematic.
