International peace and security imaginaries such as “water wars” dominate the current discussion on Ethiopian and Egyptian relations in the face of growing global energy demands and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The main bone of contention this time around has been the building in the Ethiopian side of the border of a major dam on the Blue Nile since April 2011. This talk seeks to explicate on this topic briefly and use it as a window to reflect back on the checkered history of Ethiopian and Egyptian relations in the course of the modern period.
