Ethiopian Water and Energy Minister Habtamu Itefa accused Egypt of wasting Nile water by growing water-intensive crops and undertaking water-transfer projects, calling for irrigation technologies to be modernized and water policies reviewed. Egyptian officials and experts responded that the accusations were intended to divert attention from Cairo’s demand for a legally binding agreement on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and its operation. They noted that Egypt’s estimated share of about 55 billion cubic meters does not dispel its concerns about the impact of Ethiopia’s reservoir filling on its water security. The dispute has continued for more than a decade, while negotiations were suspended in 2024. Egypt is calling for an agreement that safeguards its rights and provides for information sharing.
