ETHIOPIA, EGYPT, AND SUDAN DISAGREE OVER NILE DAM PROJECT

n Sunday, September 15, irrigation ministers from Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan met in Cairo for talks regarding Ethiopia’s plan to build the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile river. The following day, due to disagreements over technical aspects related to the filling and operating of the dam, Egypt announced that talks had stalled. Egypt, which relies on the Nile for 90 percent of its freshwater, fears that the dam will threaten its water supplies; Ethiopia disputes that claim. Egypt. As a result, the two countries disagree over the annual flow of water that should be guaranteed to Egypt, as well as the management of water flows during droughts.

Due to the disagreements, a meeting hosted by an independent scientific group will take place in Sudanese capital Khartoum from September 30 to October 3 for further negotiations. Although construction of the $4 billion Great Ethiopia Renaissance Dam has been suspended for over a year, the dam is planned to begin producing power by the end of 2020, and stands to economically benefit both Ethiopia and Sudan.
