Egypt Responds to Ethiopia's Nile Claim
The article discusses Ethiopia's escalation regarding the construction of additional dams on the Nile River, along with a statement by Ethiopian Minister of Water and Energy Hapteamu Etefa about implementing a new Cooperative Framework Agreement that recognizes the legal rights of all Nile Basin countries and affirms equitable water distribution. A responsible Egyptian official responded to these statements, emphasizing that Ethiopia is violating international law and seeking to impose control over a shared water resource, in breach of Egypt and Sudan's rights. The official confirmed that Egypt will take the necessary legal measures to protect its rights to the Nile, and that the Ethiopian dam project threatens its water share and hinders regional cooperation, especially given the ongoing failure of negotiations regarding the dam's filling and operation.
