GERD: Sudan to Sue Ethiopia If 2nd Filling Commences without Agreement

Sudanese Irrigation Minister Yasser Abbas said on Sunday that Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) threatens the operation of Roseires Dam.

In press statements, he added that Sudan would bear heavy losses if Ethiopia moves forward with the second filling without reaching a legally binding agreement.

Moreover, he stressed that Sudanese legal teams will sue the Ethiopian government over GERD crisis.

Last month, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said that the GERD crisis faces Ethiopian intransigence, explaining that Ethiopia has rejected some international mediations to solve the crisis.

Recently, Shoukry had made several African tours to a number of brotherly African countries, carrying messages from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to presidents and leaders of these countries, about the developments of the Renaissance Dam file and the Egyptian position in this regard.
