Ahmed Abul Gheit, General-Secretary of the Arab League, has sent a strong message to United Nations Security Council (UNSC) due to its stance on the crisis of the Renaissance Dam between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia.
Abul Gheit stressed that both Israel and Ethiopia will pay through the nose for the construction of that dam.
He made clear, during an interview with MBC Misr, an Egyptian satellite channel, that many members of the UNSC have water crises with neighbors so those countries wouldn’t want to approach this thorny file now.
Abul Gheit warned members of the council must not stay passive until wars break out in various parts of the world.
He depicted the Ethiopian dam as the dam of havoc for both Egypt and Sudan.
He went on to say that the Ethiopian government put the founding stone of that dam on April 1, 2011, and Israel found it a great opportunity but they will for it after twenty years.
He considered that the Arab world has recently got through drastic situations that paved the way for Turkey, Israel, Ethiopia, and Iran to interfere in Arab affairs.
He pointed out the four neighboring countries will create a regional entity if the Arab League falls apart.
It is worth noting that President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi accused Ethiopia last Tuesday of adopting a unilateral method and accomplishing of fact policy along with obstinacy over the Renaissance Dam after deteriorating of the tripartite negations between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia.
The three countries couldn’t beat an accord to regulate filling and running the dam.
Since 2011, Ethiopia and the two downstream countries (Egypt and Sudan) have negotiated to reach a binding treaty over the dam to secure the rights of every country of the water of the Nile River.
But over ten years, all efforts to sign a treaty went with the wind.
Previously, Egypt has announced that going to the UNSC over the Ethiopian dam is a path but not the only one to find a solution to the crisis.
