<\/a> Sudan is talking tough with Ethiopia, signaling it could seize control over the<\/strong> Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam<\/strong> if Addis Ababa does not commit to the Nile water-sharing pact it signed as \u201can independent state.\u201d In a strongly-worded statement last week<\/a>, Sudan said that disavowing the agreements by persevering with the second phase of the reservoir\u2019s filling translates into \u201ccompromising sovereignty\u201d over the Benishangul region, where the dam is being constructed. Benishangul was formerly a Sudanese province which Khartoum was forced to give up to Addis Ababa in a colonial agreement between Britain and Ethiopia at the turn of the 20th century. The pressure comes in response to a statement by Ethiopia\u2019s Foreign Ministry last week<\/a> accusing Egypt and Sudan of prolonging negotiations and calling current water-sharing agreements \u201cunacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only a couple of days prior, Sudan seemed to be softening on mediation:<\/strong> The country\u2019s foreign ministry spoke positively<\/a> on the African Union\u2019s current position as sole mediator between the three countries and said it would support its efforts to find an agreement. Mediation has been the key sticking point preventing talks from progressing, with Sudan and Egypt both calling for the US, EU and UN to join negotiations and Ethiopia demanding the AU continue as the sole middleman. Ethiopia\u2019s ambassador to Sudan described<\/a> Sudan\u2019s statement as \u201ca promising step\u201d towards reaching an agreement on the dam\u2019s filling and operation that satisfies all parties on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Egypt is continuing to lobby for US involvement:<\/strong> GERD could \u201cinflict incalculable socioeconomic and environmental harm downstream\u201d and \u201cexponentially increase the dangers posed by climate change,\u201d Egypt\u2019s ambassador to the US Motaz Zahran said in a piece for Foreign Policy<\/a>, calling for the US to \u201cencourage\u201d Ethiopia to accept an agreement and save the \u201cfaltering\u201d AU-led process.<\/p>\n

AU Chairman F\u00e9lix Tshisekedi could be paying Cairo, Khartoum, and Addis Ababa a visit<\/strong> \u201csoon\u201d<\/strong> to push for a resolution, Sudanese Foreign Minister Mariam Al Mahdi said after meeting with Tshisekedi to discuss the GERD negotiations yesterday, according to Sudanese state news agency SUNA<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
