Shoukry rallies for int’l support to help Egypt resolve GERD gridlock

Shoukry calls on int’l community to resolve GERD gridlock: Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said that the international community is responsible for helping Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan reach an agreement on the timeline for filling the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) reservoirs, according to Ahram Online. During a lecture at the Foreign Policy and the United Nations Association of Austria (UNA-Austria), the foreign minister repeated calls for international support to resolve the most recent gridlock between the three countries. Egypt has been actively pursuing international support to resolve the situation since talks fell through earlier this month.
