Renaissance Dam Dispute Triggers Crisis
The article focuses on the dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia over the management and operation of the Renaissance Dam and its impact on future water cooperation in the Nile Basin. The researcher at Al-Ahram Center, Abdel Fattah, accuses Ethiopia of insisting on unilateral management of the dam, which hampers negotiations and threatens Egypt's water security, as Egypt receives 55 billion cubic meters of water annually but it needs 127 billion, leading to an increase in water poverty levels beyond the permissible limit. On the other hand, researcher Abdel Samad calls for changing the tone of discourse between the two countries and relying on mutual understanding, emphasizing that cooperation is the only solution to preserve the shared water resources. The article concludes that Egypt has frozen negotiations since December 2023, while Ethiopia continues to call for resuming dialogue.
