Nile Dam Talks End With No Agreement Published April 8th, 2021 - 08:11 GMT Ethiopian workers on scaffolding during construction of Grand Renaissance Dam near Sudanese-Ethiopian border (AFP/file photo) Highlights Nile dam talks between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan fail to reach turning point. Ethiopia has accused Egypt and Sudan of obstructing the latest round of three-way talks on a contested Nile dam that it has been building over the River, as tensions continue to simmer between the African neighbors over the project. The meeting failed due to Egypt and Sudan s rigid stance to make the negotiation and the outcome a tool to affirm their self-claimed water share and foreclose Ethiopia s share, Ethiopia s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

El-Sisi warns all options are open after Nile dam talks falter

CAIRO: After delegations from Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia failed to reach an agreement during Tuesday’s talks in the Democratic Republic of Congo on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said on Wednesday that “all options are open if a drop of water belonging to Egypt is touched.” Both Egypt and Sudan blamed Ethiopia for the failure of the latest round of talks. Ethiopia says the gravity dam  under construction since 2011 is vital for its economic progress and power generation, but Egypt fears its supply of water from the Nile  which currently provides about 97 percent of the country’s irrigation and drinking water will be threatened, and Sudan has raised concerns about the dam’s safety and its effect on its own dams and water stations on the Nile.
