  1. Egypt has probably been dealt the worst hand of any country. Literally every one of its neighbors is currently at war, including the Houthis closing the Red sea and Israel and Palestine blocking Natural Gas development. And that's following Covid shutting down tourism and shipping for 2 years, and it's two largest food suppliers going to eat with eachother. You hear a lot about the "risky" mega projects, but realistically most of these were needed. How can you anticipate things going so poorly all outside your domestic control.

  2. If an Arab Nationalist group like Muslim Brotherhood takes control, I'm calling an alignment with the Rapid Reaction force in Sudan and the Arab governments across the Sahel for the creation of The Greater Egyptian Military Imperium.

  3. Egypt needs to sign a deal with China (I only say because they currently have the largest manufacturering base actively look to export in infrastructure programs) to aggressively build out Solar. In recent years they have completely stopped LNG exports, and they struggle with NG supply causing power outages. Large scale solar build out would not only provide power, but in Egypt it would provide reliable daily output given the near equatorial position and limited cloud cover. It provides that power for 12 hours a day, and during the hottest part of the day when Air Conditioning is driving the highest demand. And at night, the NG infrastructure already exists. The solar would provide low and long term fixed cost power, and stretch the NG supply to allow exports of LNG to return and stable overnight output. Solar could also be placed in the Red Sea foot hills to Agrovolactics, and over canals or floating on Lake Nasser (which China in particular has experience with) to reduce water loss.

  4.  @seventyfive7597  Egypt and Israel had just joined an agreement to develop the Gaza Marine feild, that is what I'm referencing. I'm not referring to safety concerns in Egypt as new, the tourism comment was Covid related. I am referring to the surrounding conflicts as hurting trade and foreign investment, as well as creating refugee issues.

  5.  @Mark-uh3un  ya ya, what we learned from China is that good happy peaceful democracies decided how many children you have and those policies never destroy your economy in a few decades.

  6.  @seventyfive7597  again, in referencing the Gaza Marine fields Egypt was expecting to begin development on.

  7.  @m.streicher8286  well, it is when the flooding that makes it productive is at risk because Ethiopia built a dam.
