Stalemate in Nile Dam Negotiations: Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan Reach Dead End

Egypt has declared a deadlock in negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) with Ethiopia and Sudan. Egypt accuses Ethiopia of refusing to accept compromise solutions that would protect the interests of all three countries and instead using the negotiation process to solidify its control over the Blue Nile. Egypt asserts its right to defend its water and national security and will closely monitor the dam's filling and operation. The negotiations have come to an end, and there has been no response from Ethiopia and Sudan.
