非洲水资源匮乏蕴藏着巨大的战争危机据联合国发展计划署报道,非洲许多地区水资源日益匮乏,因此在未来的25年内,各国为争夺日趋紧张的水资源将会发生严重冲突。该组织称,非洲的一些地区的河流均流经多国,今后极有可能因争夺水资源而发生冲突。据分析预测,今后25年内,随着非洲人口的快速增长和经济的发展,该地区每两人中就将有一人生活在水资源匮乏地区。埃及总统穆巴拉克对埃塞俄比亚最近在尼罗河流域的所作所为深怀戒心。他说,如果2050年尼罗河流域的埃及、埃塞俄比亚和苏丹三国人口从目前的1.5亿增至预期的3.4亿,那么该地区将面临严峻的水资源缺乏问题。有报道认为,埃及在埃塞俄比亚和厄利特里亚的冲突中支持厄,主要就是由于对埃塞俄比亚开发尼罗河水资源的不满。据悉,穆巴拉克总统已经表示,埃及将炸毁埃塞俄比亚在尼罗河上修建的所有大坝。
The lack of water resources in Africa bears a huge war crisis. According to reports by the United Nations Development Program, water resources in many parts of Africa are becoming increasingly scarce. Therefore, in the next 25 years, there will be serious conflicts among countries in order to compete for increasingly tense water resources. According to the organization, rivers in some parts of Africa flow through multiple countries and it is very likely that conflicts will occur over competing water resources in the future. According to analysis and prediction, in the next 25 years, with the rapid population growth and economic development in Africa, one in every two people in the region will live in water-poor areas. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is wary of what Ethiopia has done recently in the Nile Valley. He said that if the populations of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan in the Nile River Basin increase from the current 150 million to the expected 340 million in 2050, the region will face severe water shortages. According to reports, Egypt supported Ecuador in the conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea, mainly because of its dissatisfaction with Ethiopia’s development of the water resources of the Nile. It is reported that President Mubarak has stated that Egypt will blow up all the dams that Ethiopia built on the Nile.
