Focus shifts to Soliem's follow-up statements
The article covered the recent statements of Egyptian Water Minister Hani Sweilam, who warned of an appropriate response regarding the Nile River and Ethiopia's dams. The minister confirmed that sovereignty over land does not mean absolute sovereignty over an international river, and that international law requires prior notifications and information exchange to avoid mutual harm. He indicated that Egypt is not against the development of African dams, but rejects the imposition of unilateral decisions in planning and operation. Egypt’s response will be legal and diplomatic, focusing on continuing dialogues, documenting data, and strengthening cooperation with Nile Basin countries. He also called for shifting the discourse toward a comprehensive national policy that includes funding projects and practically implementing them on the ground, aimed at protecting Egypt's water rights through multi-faceted strategies.
