Egypt On Edge
Right next door to Sudan, with brewing trouble.
Sudan Is Disintegrating, just to the south of Egypt, and there aren’t single words in English to describe the dread I feel looking at these reports.
Walking from Sudan to Egypt isn’t really a thing, there’s not a lot of “inhabitable” between their population centers, and the Nile is firmly in the hands of the respective governments. So there isn’t going to be a domino effect, at least not to the north.
Understanding Egypt is just over twelve years old and it came a few months after Sudan: Africa’s Yugoslavia?
Why am I paying attention to Africa again?
I literally just noticed the Dry Canal. Turkey can foresee the day when Egypt descends into madness, the Great Bitter Lake is again as dangerous as the Sea of Aden is today, and we’ll be left waiting in vain for another Nimbus Moon to rise.
The peak oil folk used to talk about “triage”. There are places that are going to get down to their hydrosolar max, what we’ve seen in places like Somalia and Yemen are the first stirrings of our path to living within our means.
