Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sissi stated that Egypt gives the Ethiopian dam issue "diplomatic space," but with the protection of its interests and without compromising its presence. He confirmed that Egypt, during the period from 2011 to 2013, following events that took place in the country, paid a heavy price after the construction of the Renaissance Dam, which began in 2011 after a geological survey carried out by Ethiopia in 2009. Cairo and Khartoum are demanding an agreement to ensure the dam's operation, especially during drought periods. Negotiations between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia have been ongoing since the dam's construction began in 2011, but no final agreement has been reached. Tensions have increased, with Ethiopia accusing the two countries of supporting Ethiopian opposition. Sudan and Egypt have responded by condemning these accusations, affirming their respect for sovereignty and their refusal to interfere in others' internal affairs.
