Double-Edged Hydropolitics on the Nile - Center for Security Studies ...

Acknowledgement
Furthermore, I am greatly indebted to many people who, through their
personal friendship, rendered my time in the Nile Basin all the more enjoyable.
To mention just a few: Derese and family, the staff at the Roma Hotel,
Missa, Taika, Fitsum, Djamila, Hapte, Hashem, Sisay, Mamoush and friends,
Marianne, Fethi, Yoseph, Jasmin and friends, and the Plaza team.
Finally, I thank Susanne Leuenberger for her innumerable contributions
to this work. She not only provided scientific input, but was also a great
sport in allocating time in tense periods. Most of all, however, she gave me
calm by being the best mother to our little boy.
I dedicate this thesis to my parents, who have supported me in every respect
on the long way to the completion of this thesis.
