Ethiopia’s Minister of Water and Energy, Habtamu Itefa, said Egypt had built the Aswan High Dam and other water-transfer projects without giving sufficient consideration to Ethiopia’s interests. He accused Cairo of taking a unilateral approach to managing the Nile’s waters and called for negotiations and cooperation among the basin countries. He added that Ethiopia contributes more than 86% of the Nile’s waters and that upstream countries have the right to use their resources for development. Egypt, which relies on the Nile for about 90% of its freshwater and has a population of approximately 108 million, says the Ethiopian remarks reflect a unilateral approach and threaten the interests of the two downstream countries, Egypt and Sudan.
