Egypt opposes Ethiopia's new dams
Egypt's Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Hani Sweilim, reaffirmed Egypt's right to its water shares in the Nile River. He noted that Egypt is continuously monitoring Ethiopia's plan to construct four new dams, including the current one. He explained that Egypt relies on an integrated scientific system to track the flood season and analyze water flow data. As of early August, rainfall levels on the Ethiopian plateau were below average, but this does not indicate severe drought, as the rainy season continues through August and September. He emphasized that increased rainfall in the White Nile upstream does not compensate for the reduction in flows from the Ethiopian plateau. Egypt rejects any unilateral measures on the Nile and insists on the need to sign a binding legal agreement to protect its water rights within the framework of international law.
