For context, Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia signed the Declaration of Principles in 2015 and the research group was set up in 2018. Ahmed also suggested that the three countries reached some sort of agreement on \u201cthe continued and enhanced role of the observers, namely EU, South Africa, and United States,\u201d although Ethiopia had previously signaled <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b2819f6f-d128-4c07-b808-02152a89f277\">its categorical refusal<\/a> to bring in the US, EU, UN, and AU as international mediators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bringing the talks to the AU now could actually turn out great for Egypt, considering Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry\u2019s ongoing diplomacy blitz<\/strong> to rally support from the continent\u2019s leaders for Egypt\u2019s position on the issue. The minister made stops yesterday in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MFAEgypt\/posts\/5499826206755947\">Senegal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MFAEgypt\/posts\/5499539266784641\">Niger<\/a> to discuss the GERD talks with the two countries\u2019 leaders.
