Video Description:
In this 2-part episode we want to take a look at the Nile River in Africa. The river plays a central role for all nations trough which it flows and it forces them to cooperate. At the same time, the sharing of water can also lead to tensions. We want to focus on these two aspects by looking at two construction projects along the Nile. For one, the Aswan High Dam, one of the first and to date the largest Dam along the Nile, and the Grand Ethiopian Rennaisance Dam, which is still under construction but is already sparking a dispute.
The idea to tilt the map by 90 degrees is something I saw on the episode of "Mit offenen Karten - Ägypten ohne Nil?". I recommend it to any german or french speakers!
Music from Artlist.io
Further Information at the end of the video.
Some music tracks are ones we made ourselves so if you are looking for a specific track but it isn't one listed at the end of the video then that's the reason.
Why does the channel have a new name?
As you may have noticed, the channel has changed its name from "Society of Geeks" to "neo".
And to make this clear: It's not about a change of ownership, it's just taste.
When I launched the channel almost 3 years ago, I would have never thought the videos would get the attention they now have. The initial scope of the types of topics were very limited but now has expanded. The channel was thought to deal primarily with analysing films but now they have become more political. And the name should have the flexibility to fit for both aspects, as well as for any genres in the future that I can’t even think of right now.
And with this new name, it feels right to approach the next goals and really develop the channel into something exciting.
Thanks for your understanding.

Great video, a topic that no one thinks about! Looking forward to part 2 :)
-
Thank you so much. You are a storehouse of important, inclusive information!
-
Nice video just one correction. The Nile in Ethiopia is reffered to as the black nile because it is mixed with fertile soil and minerals when it meets at the border with the white nile that's the starting point of the blue nile. The minerals that flow from Ethiopia through the black nile is what makes the soil in Egypt fertile and good for irrigation.
-
It's time for Ethiopia to use the Nile + congratulation for this useful project and God bless Ethiopia and I will visit you soon
-
Thank you, I watched this with my two sons as part of their geography as we home school due to Covid 19. It was really informative. What helps them learn, is enough visuals to help them to take in the information provided by the voiceover.
-
Thank you for the video. The blue nile contribute 86.5% of water which all comes from Ethiopia.
-
We Moroccans and I have friends in Algeria, all support our Ethiopian brothers. It's your right
-
The best explanation of the Nile, the history, and countries dependent on its source
-
This is what we r watching stay home due to corona virus
-
I think Egypt is worrying more because of loosing tons of soils which comes through the river not only the water , cause technically it'll a little bit less than it was till they finish filling the Dam
-
Thank you brother. I am a SriLankan, It was helpful to my education works.
-
Rwanda and Uganda plans to build a huge dam over the White Nile river. And also the big and the number one dam in Africa - Ethiopian Hydroelectric dam is also almost finished . The time has come to Africa. Africa rise ✊
-
As well as the Blue Nile, most of the waters of the White Nile also originate in south-western Ethiopian highlands & the waters flow to the White Nile via a major tributary named 'Baro' [in Ethiopia] & 'Sobat' in South Sudan. Most of the waters of the White Nile that originate in Lake Victoria do not actually reach Khartoum (Sudan, where the two main branches of the Nile meet) & Egypt but are dispersed in the massive 'Sud' marshes located in South Sudan. In total, Ethiopia contributes about 85-90% of the total waters of the Nile that reach Khartoum & Egypt.
