Egypt's Position on Fula Dam Impact
Egypt has confirmed its approval of the Fula Dam project in South Sudan after studies showed that its water impacts are manageable. This comes as part of support for development initiatives among the Nile Basin countries. Egyptian Minister of Water Resources Hani Sweilam explained that the approval was based on hydrological assessments and an understanding that it does not oppose development projects, emphasizing that the disagreement with Egypt revolves around the rules for filling and operating the dam, not the existence of the dam itself. He also stressed that Egypt advocates for coordination and legal agreements to organize the management of shared water resources and affirms that development is a right for the basin states, stressing the importance of conducting studies and reaching understandings to prevent harm.
