Egyptian Minister on Water Security
Egypt's Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, Hani Sweilam, confirmed that Egypt will take all legal measures to protect its water security, especially since it depends 98% on the Nile River for its water needs and faces water scarcity. Sweilam condemned Ethiopia's stubbornness in the negotiations over the Renaissance Dam, pointing out that statements by the Ethiopian Minister of Water Resources revealed Ethiopia’s true intentions to control the flow of Nile water reaching Egypt and Sudan. He affirmed that the dam is illegal due to Ethiopia's failure to adhere to international law. He explained that Egypt will respond according to international laws to safeguard its water rights. Furthermore, the refusal of some African countries to sell Nile water reflects a unified stance. Ethiopia’s failure to undertake legitimate legal procedures for the dam's construction renders its legitimacy invalid and underscores the growing need for measures to preserve Egypt’s rights to Nile water.
