Egypt insists on Nile water protection
Dr. Badr Abdel Atti, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and for Egyptians Abroad, emphasized that the waters of the Nile River are a gift from God and do not belong to any one country. He underscored the importance of handling the water issue seriously and in accordance with international law. He clarified that Egypt will not remain silent or be passive if it faces any harm or shortage of water that has been flowing into it for thousands of years, dismissing the recent unfounded Ethiopian claims. He affirmed Egypt’s commitment to the principles of sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, supporting the conclusion of a binding legal agreement on the management of the Ethiopian Dam. He also stressed that no unilateral measures or the construction of additional dams that threaten Egyptian water supplies will be tolerated, noting that 98% of the water Egypt uses from the Nile comes directly from the Nile River itself.
