The same applied in Libya, it applied in Sudan, in Yemen, in the Horn of Africa. We are here to promote peaceful solutions. We must promote solutions based on win-win situations, everyone should benefit without refraining or without applying unilateralism and being against international law when it comes to issues related to water cooperation, especially with water scarcity in Egypt. We are under the poverty line so it is an existential issue for us, but we are, with cooperation, with regional integration with the promotion of peaceful and diplomatic solutions." 7.
