Ethiopian Media Criticizes Egypt Over Nile Dams
The Ethiopian media attack on Egypt comes within the context of the ongoing dispute over the filling and operation of the Renaissance Dam. Ethiopia rejects Egypt and Sudan's objections to its plans to build new dams on the Nile River, aimed at promoting economic development, strengthening water security, and expanding electricity production. Ethiopia affirms that the construction of dams is part of its sustainable development plans, while Egypt insists that these projects affect its estimated water share of 55.5 billion cubic meters and pose a threat to its national water security. Tensions are escalating, and Egypt is exploring diplomatic and legal options such as negotiations with international mediation or resorting to the United Nations. Meanwhile, Ethiopia continues building the dams, which are expected to increase its control over the flow of the Nile River—upon which about 97% of Egypt's water needs depend—as disagreements persist over capacity and future impacts.
