Ethiopia tries to divide Sudan, Egypt in talks over Nile Dam
Ethiopian and Sudanese officials have met separately over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, but Cairo and Khartoum are still mostly united in their concerns.
Bilateral talks between Sudan and Ethiopia were held between officials of the two countries for the first time since Addis Ababa embarked on its journey of power generation from its controversial giant hydroelectric dam.
Representatives of Egypt did not attend the meeting.
On March 3, the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, hosted talks between acting Irrigation and Water Resources Minister Daw Al-Bait Abdul-Rahman and Ethiopian Ambassador in Khartoum Petal Amiru in the presence of officials from the Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation and Foreign Affairs.
The meeting comes at a time when the international momentum to help the three countries overcome their differences is waning amid the preoccupation of the West with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
