Egypt maintains firm stance on water issue
The Egyptian Minister of Water Resources affirmed that Egypt is committed to its water share in the Nile River, following Ethiopia's unilateral declaration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam in 2011, which Egypt considers illegitimate. He explained that 98% of Egypt's water comes from the Nile, and that the per capita share is below the international minimum requirement, emphasizing Egypt's refusal to compromise its water rights. The minister also stated that Egypt will take all necessary legal measures to safeguard its water security and will not allow its primary water resource to be threatened. He added that the issue will continue to escalate until Egypt's water rights are protected in accordance with international law.
