Oi!

This is a perennial Mock UN scenario.

1) Egypt has a typical middle eastern army (eg: incompetent compared to Western ones), but it's better trained than the Ethiopian one.

2) The Nile *IS* Egypt. Without it, its a desert. With it, its a mile-or-so-wide strip of habitability in the middle of a terrible desert.

Egypt will see building a dam on the nile that they don't control as a potential existential threat. And if you can shut off the nile, you can kill egypt.
 
Egypt wins and the damn is not built.

They have the training, resources and shear desperation to pull this off and they will spend as much blood and treasure as they have too.
