GERD talks kicking off again this week: The ministers of foreign affairs and irrigation, as well intelligence chiefs from Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia, are scheduled to meet on Wednesday and Thursday to resume talks over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). This comes as Ethiopia is set to swear in Abiy Ahmed as its new prime minister today, after Hailemariam Desalegn’s sudden resignation in February postponed dam negotiations. The three countries had reached a gridlock on the dam last year, but agreed in January to continue looking for a solution.

The Game Sports Industry Conference — Egypt’s first-ever platform dedicated to the sports industry — kicks off in Cairo on Wednesday 11 April.
