Ethiopia’s government rejected a resolution passed yesterday by the Arab League inviting the United Nations Security Council to help resolve the regional tensions over Addis Ababa’s Nile dam project.
“The Arab League of States should know that utilization of the Nile waters is also an existential matter for Ethiopia,” the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “It is about lifting millions of its people out of abject poverty and meeting their energy, water and food security needs.”
