Egypt: Ethiopia Rejecting ‘Fundamental Issues’ on Nile Dam


nile river breaking world news

(Worthy News) – Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia on June 14 said talks would continue later this week to resolve their dispute over a Nile River dam that Ethiopia is constructing, even as Cairo accused Addis Ababa of rejecting “fundamental issues” at the heart of the negotiations.

While Ethiopia wants to begin filling the dam’s reservoir in the coming weeks, Egypt has raised concerns that filing the reservoir too quickly and without a deal could significantly reduce the amount of Nile water available to Egypt. Both countries have made clear in the past that they could take steps to protect their interests, should negotiations fail, and experts fear a breakdown in talks could lead to conflict.

The talks resumed last week via video conference after months of deadlock and will start up again on June 15, statements from the three main Nile basin countries said on June 14. [ Source: Epoch Times (Read More…) ]
