Stalled GERD negotiations could benefit from a show of good faith

Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan agreeing to launch a joint development project would be a show of good faith that could help ease tensions over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, Mohamed Hegazy says in leading state-owned daily Al Ahram. Part of this project could be setting up a transnational highway and an electricity interconnection project between the three countries. The project could also include a framework to coordinate between the Nile Basin countries to fill up the reservoirs of each country’s water dams under certain specifications to ensure nobody’s share of Nile water is negatively impacted.
