Two days after the failure of the Kinshasa negotiations April 6 in the Democratic Republic of Congo regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) crisis, Cairo concluded a military intelligence cooperation agreement with Uganda, at the Ugandan intelligence headquarters in the capital, Kampala. The negotiations brought together the three GERD deadlocked countries — Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia.

Under the agreement, Egypt and Uganda will exchange intelligence information on a regular basis. This comes amid heightened tension over the GERD.
