MALABO, Equatorial Guinea — Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy said he will continue to pursue “meaningful negotiations” with Ethiopia and Sudan to resolve the Nile water crisis involving Ethiopia’s controversial Renaissance Dam.
“Our goal is not to enter into a conflict,” Fahmy told Al-Monitor in an exclusive interview during a trip to Equatorial Guinea on May 10. Fahmy said he was awaiting Ethiopia’s response to initiating “fast-paced negotiations” and warned that Egypt will turn to the international community should it get the cold shoulder from Addis Ababa.
