Ethiopia’s Minister of Water and Energy, Habtamu Itefa, said Egypt’s efforts to obstruct his country’s projects on the Blue Nile and isolate it from the Red Sea “are no longer effective.” He called on Cairo to reconsider its position on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and Ethiopia’s demand for access to the sea. He said the dam’s operation had ended attempts to prevent Ethiopia from benefiting from the Nile, noting that his country contributes, according to him, about 86% of the river’s flow, and that electricity generated by the dam reaches Kenya and Djibouti. Egypt and Sudan insist on a legally binding agreement on filling and operating the dam, while Ethiopia says it sees no need for one. Negotiations have been suspended again since 2024.
