Can Sudan change course of Nile dam talks?
After the tripartite negotiations between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan reached a dead end, Egypt and Sudan turned to the UN Security Council to resolve the crisis.
CAIRO — In a letter submitted to the UN Security Council on June 26, Sudan called on the world body to “discourage all parties relevant to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) from taking any unilateral action, including the filling of the dam’s reservoir, before reaching an agreement.”
The Sudanese plea came after Egypt asked the Security Council June 19 to intervene in the GERD dispute and support the tripartite negotiations to reach a fair solution to the crisis after talks had stalled June 12.
