Ethiopia has so far managed to only raise as much as six meters of the spillway, which is not enough to hold the 13.5 bn cubic meters of water that is supposed be held after the second phase of the filling this summer, Abu Zeid said. Another analyst <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/df96eadf-811d-4436-a6ec-56fb2e17cdcd\">suggested<\/a> that Ethiopia could wrap up the process by the end of June in time for the rains.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The news getting attention in the foreign press this morning:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSKCN2DL26S\">Reuters<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/sudan-ethiopia-africa-middle-east-egypt-7295148a59dff6819b2b9cef35b348d6\">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egypt and Sudan have again called for the international community to push Ethiopia to restart negotiations over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), as time runs out before Addis Ababa resumes filling the dam in the coming weeks.
