Ethiopia complains that Egypt is being a Debbie Downer on GERD: Egypt has been “consistently giving unconstructive comments” on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Ethiopian Foreign Ministry spokesman Meles Alam told reporters on Thursday, Africa News reports. Alam is referencing comments made by Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry that appeared to blame Ethiopia and Sudan for recently failed meetings. A meeting between Shoukry and his Sudanese and Ethiopian counterparts scheduled for today has reportedly been cancelled, Anadolu reports.
