Ethiopia to resume talks with Egypt, Sudan on dam construction

The construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has reached the final stage through the united effort of the Ethiopian people. Ethiopia on Saturday reiterated its interest in resuming talks with Egypt and Sudan over a huge and controversial dam project which is being built on the river Nile. Ethiopia has repeatedly expressed its interest to restart the negotiations under African Union-led mediation, which Egypt is not comfortable with. The talks between the trios were halted in April 2021 after the African Union (AU) failed to resolve the long-standing dispute over the massive multi-billion Ethiopia hydroelectric dam which would be Africa’s largest upon completion. Should the talks only involve Africans ?
