<\/a> Lawmakers have authorized President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to do whatever is necessary<\/strong> to protect Egypt\u2019s water security from the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam<\/strong>, Youm7<\/a> reports. The mandate appears to allow the presidency to take any measure he chooses \u2014 up to and including military action \u2014 to mitigate the dam\u2019s threat to Egypt\u2019s water supply. MPs quoted by the paper said it is important that El Sisi is able to act at his discretion to solve the crisis, and said that the Egyptian people are against Ethiopia\u2019s filling of the dam and support measures being taken to prevent it.<\/p>\n

A dead-end at the UN:<\/strong> The move comes a few days after Egypt and Sudan failed to get the backing of the UN Security Council on the GERD. The two countries spent much of last week lobbying the council to condemn Ethiopia\u2019s decision to unilaterally fill the dam and pressure it to return to the negotiating table with different mediators. But in a meeting last Thursday, members declined to take Egypt\u2019s side, instead reiterating their support for the current African Union-led process and calling on all sides to re-enter talks. The president hasn\u2019t made any public statements about the GERD crisis since the meeting.<\/p>\n

The Europeans don\u2019t sound like they\u2019re about to flex their diplomatic muscle:<\/strong> In a statement<\/a> yesterday, EU foreign ministers expressed \u201cregret\u201d that Ethiopia had chosen to continue filling the dam and called its actions \u201cunhelpful,\u201d but refrained from taking a stronger position on the dispute. Ministers appeared to rule out acting as mediators in the dispute, and instead expressed support for the AU process, calling on all three sides to resume talks.<\/p>\n

The EU has been Egypt\u2019s latest focus:<\/strong> Shoukry has been in Brussels for the past two days holding talks with European foreign ministers<\/a>, European Council president Charles Michel<\/a>, and Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg<\/a>. El Sisi is also scheduled to visit Brussels soon, <\/strong>Shoukry told Al Ghad TV last night (watch, runtime 7:00<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So back to the AU? <\/strong>The AU will present new ideas for resuming the negotiating process and resolving the impasse, Shoukry said during a separate interview on Ala Mas\u2019ouleety last night (watch, runtime 16:18<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Why Russia and China didn\u2019t back us: <\/strong>Al Shorouk Editor-in-Chief Emad El Din Hussein told Al Kahera Wal Nas last night that Russia\u2019s neutral position at the council was surprising, but suggested that its trying to expand its influence in Ethiopia as part of great power competition with the US (watch, runtime 10:11<\/a>). As for China, Hussein noted that many of Ethiopia\u2019s developmental projects are being carried out by Chinese companies, and that Beijing prefers to keep the GERD issue away from the council because of this.<\/p>\n

GERD is getting attention in the foreign press this morning<\/strong>, <\/sup>with articles in the National<\/a> and the UK Independent<\/a> warning that Egypt and Sudan are running out of diplomatic options after the UN Security Council last week refused to condemn Ethiopia\u2019s unilateral filling of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The two countries had few backers on the council, with Russia warning them against \u201cescalation of confrontational rhetoric,\u201d and the US hesitant to get involved in the issue. This, analysts say, may force Cairo and Khartoum to either reenter negotiations on Ethiopia\u2019s terms or take military action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
