Ethiopia Reaffirms Stand on Renaissance Dam
Ethiopian Minister of Water and Energy Haptamu Itifa issued a provocative stance against Egypt, reaffirming that Ethiopia has full sovereignty over the development of its water resources and that the construction of the Renaissance Dam is an internal matter, done without anyone's permission. He stated that Ethiopia will not stop building additional dams on multiple rivers to generate electricity. He also pointed out that Ethiopia supplies electrical power to neighboring countries such as Djibouti, Kenya, Sudan, and Somalia, and respects the downstream countries' interests by not exploiting their lands for irrigation. In contrast, Egypt emphasized that water is a matter of life and declared that it will not allow any party to control the flows of the Nile River. Egypt considers Ethiopia's statements about constructing additional dams as a threat to Egyptian water security.
