Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan agree to resume talks to break deadlock on Grand Renaissance Dam reservoir on the Blue Nile
This handout satellite image obtained courtesy of Maxar Technologies on July 21, 2020 shows a view of northwestern Ethiopia that focuses on the status of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and the Blue Nile River on July 11, 2020.
Ethiopia has said the rising water is from heavy rains, and the new statement said that “it has become evident over the past two weeks in the rainy season that the first-year filling is achieved and the dam under construction is already overtopping.” Ethiopia says the colossal dam offers a critical opportunity to pull millions of its nearly 110 million citizens out of poverty and become a major power exporter. Downstream Egypt, which depends on the Nile to supply its farmers and booming population of 100 million with fresh water, asserts that the dam pose s an existential threat.
“There are other sticking points, but if we agree on this basic principle, the other points will automatically be solved,” he said.
