CAIRO — The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Ethiopian chargé d'affaires to Cairo Dec. 30 to clarify statements by Dina Mufti, the spokesperson of the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs who criticized the human rights situation in Egypt.
This is the first time in more than four years that Egypt has summoned the Ethiopian chargé d’affaires, a move observers believe may increase tensions amid the stalled negotiations on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and the escalating border tensions between Sudan and Ethiopia.
