EGYPT HOPING TO REACH GERD DAM AGREEMENT

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) project is still having issues with all three parties involved (Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia) still yet to come to a conclusion on way to settle their dilemma.

However, in a interview with the BBC, Egypt Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli has reaffirmed that Cairo is keen to reach a legally binding agreement on the filling and operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD).

He noted that the three countries will serve the interests of their peoples if they could reach an agreement on GERD instead of having any differences or conflicts.

He further stated that Egypt always does not oppose any development plans of any country of the Nile Basin provided that such projects cause no harm to Egypt’s water-linked rights.
