CAIRO — Algeria has now joined the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) dossier, following an Ethiopian invitation on July 29 calling on Algeria to assume a constructive role in rectifying “misconceptions” of the Arab League about the Ethiopian position on the GERD.
Algerian Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra began on July 28 an African tour, including Tunisia, Ethiopia and Sudan, during which he met with several officials. He also met his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, in Cairo on July 31 to discuss bilateral relations and the GERD crisis.
