The Nile is a unique river in many respecls. 11 is Ihe longesl river in Ihe world Ihal crossesrndifJerenl geographical, ecological and climalic regions. 11 is also unique in Ihal ils basin is thernstarting poinl of one of Ihe earliesl civilizalions of the world. Along ils longjourney it connectsrnand sometimes divides millions of inhabilants which olhel1vise do not have geographicrnboundmy. Through this connection exists comlllllnicalion between and among the inhabitants ofrnthe basin.rnThis paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the hydro-political communication of the twornriparian states of the Eastern Nile Basin. Ethiopian and Egyptian poet I)' are discussed as hydropoliticalrndiscourse. The two countries being the source and receiver of Ihe waters of (he Nilernrespeclively have long years of relationship which is reinvigoraled by (heir sl/'ong lie ofrnChristianity. Logical consideration of the poems of the aforementioned counlries is also justifiedrnby the long-standing contenlion of water politics which has always been and will probablyrnconlinue to be the greatest paradox of Ihe basin. This paper seeks the root cause of Ihis paradoxrnand the key thereof Egypt, an enlirely Nile-dependent countlY, adopls a "historical right" to thernwaters of the Nile which is rooted in their long hislory of dependence and which is reiterated inrnthe colonial treaties of 1929 and 1959. Elhiopia on the olher hand, produces over 86 percenl ofrnthe Nile waters, but as the leasl benejicimy of the river 's bounty, depends highly on rain-fedrnagriculture and is bound to be hil by recurrent draught andfamine. And linls Elhiopia adopls thern"natural right." It demands a "fair share" oflhe river.rnThis paradox is articulated by literature of valJ/ing nature through the years. So the objective ofrnthis research is to jind this discourse in the poems of Ethiopian and Egyptian writers and tornmake a comparalive analysis. By so doing the study aims at jilling Ihe existing gap in thernproduction of such li/erell)' analyses.rnThe method of sludy employed in this paper is interdisciplinary descriptive analysis of thernselected texts based on certain the mal ic crileria of Ihe poems to be compared. The discourses inrnthe literalures are also checkedfor Iheir hydro-political content.rnThe sludy has indicated that through a sharp (ontrasl of the perceptions of the poelS of Ihe tworncountries, Ihe nalional as well as regional inlereSIS of Ihe people and Ihe nCllions are somehowrnadvocated by the poe tries. The long-slanding contention Ihat bases itseU' on Ihe "historicalrnright" of Egypt and the "natural righl" of Elhiopia is also aired. Final/v, Ihe poets have provedrnto be proponenls of their national interests across the ages
