Egypt's FM Warns on Sudan Unity and Water
Egypt has reaffirmed that the unity of Sudan is a red line for it and must not be tampered with. It emphasized that the escalating water crisis with Ethiopia is a matter of life or death for Egypt. The Egyptian Foreign Minister clarified that Sudan's unity, which is experiencing conflicts between the army and the Rapid Support Forces militias, is a red line for Egypt. He warned against continued arms flow to the militias, stressing that the Sudanese army is different from the militias. He also confirmed that the Renaissance Dam crisis (Ethiopian Dam) is a existential issue for Egypt, noting that Ethiopia receives more than 900 billion cubic meters of water, while Egypt and Sudan receive only about 3%. Egypt rejects the construction of new dams on the Nile and reserves the right to defend its water interests. Furthermore, he pointed out that negotiations over the Renaissance Dam have been halted since 2024 due to a lack of political will, and condemned Ethiopia’s attempts to reach the sea through neighboring ports. He affirmed that Egypt supports international mediation efforts to resolve the crisis and that it is more harmed by escalation in the Yemen region. Egypt called for avoiding a repeat of the scenario of closing the Strait of Hormuz. Regarding Syria, he expressed his country's support for a comprehensive dialogue without exclusions, emphasizing that there is no intention to violate international commitments. He reiterated condemnation of any Israeli violations against Syria.
