The Democratic Republic of the Congo, in its capacity as the African Union chair, is seeking to host a new negotiation round between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which Addis Ababa is building on the Blue Nile — the main tributary of the Nile River — three months after talks were halted.
The Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper cited anonymous Egyptian sources July 12 as saying that the African Union addressed the three countries as part of a new initiative to start a new round of negotiations in Kinshasa within two weeks.
