The Tripartite Talks between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissace Dam has commenced today.
The AU-led virtual meeting involved Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Water Affairs of Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance held starting from today in the afternoon.
Observers from the African Union, European Union and the US along with experts from AU are participating in the virtual meeting continued today.
The meeting is expected to pass directives that demand continuation of the tripartite talks over GERD, according to Spokesperson Office of Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The stakes of these negotiations extend far beyond immediate water quotas, touching upon the broader economic architecture of the Horn of Africa. For Ethiopia, the dam represents a critical leap in baseline power generation, promising to stabilize a national grid that has historically struggled to support advanced commercial demands. As reliable electricity becomes a tangible prospect, international investment is already recalibrating its approach to the region’s nascent technology and telecommunications sectors.
Global cloud providers are monitoring these grid upgrades closely, anticipating the rollout of high-capacity data centers and regional fiber-optic networks. International digital entertainment networks and European online casino platforms represent exactly the type of power-intensive infrastructure consumers targeting this emerging stability, requiring massive, uninterrupted server uptime to host live streaming services and process complex real-time transactions. The influx of these digital-first enterprises hinges directly on the consistent megawatt output the new dam is designed to provide.
Recognizing this immense downstream economic potential, the current diplomatic framework seeks to balance Ethiopia’s accelerated industrialization with the environmental security of its neighbors. African Union facilitators continue to emphasize that any finalized agreement must accommodate these long-term developmental milestones without compromising the vital agricultural lifelines of Egypt and Sudan.
Members of the Diaspora in Texas State of the US, through Austin San Antonio Fund rising Task Force, have raised 70,000 US Dollars in response to COVID 19 prevention activities in Ethiopia.
Ethiopian Ambassador to the US, Fitsum Arega said members of the Diaspora living in different states have been continuing contribution to the construction of GERD besides participating in fundraising for COVID 19 response in Ethiopia.
The donation is exemplary and very helpful to fight COVID 19 in Ethiopia, said Ambassador Fitsum while extending gratitude to members of the diaspora gathered in the thanksgiving ceremony.
Ambassadro Fitsum added 7,450 US Dollars has been raised from GERD picture auction at the special ceremony held at Austin/San Antonio, Texas State.
A virtual meeting aimed at forging a joint front and shared consensus on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) issue among all Ethiopian missions and citizens residing in the Nile River riparian states kicked off today.
Gedu Andargachew, minister of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia, delivered opening remarks urging Ethiopians to continue contributing financial and technical supports to the construction of the dam.
The minister said since the Nile river basin holds two-thirds of Ethiopia’s water resources, utilizing it is a matter of sovereignty and an essential requirement for the development of the country.
Upon completion, the flagship project will enable millions of Ethiopians to get access to electricity, engage in newly created jobs and uplift themselves out of poverty, he said.
The building of the dam corrects historical imbalances and sets the relationship among the Nile River riparian states on the right track, said Gedu.
According to him, the building of the GERD initiated the Cooperative Framework Agreement (CFA) by recognizing the right of all the Nile River riparian states, including Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, and South Sudan to utilize the water resource too.
Engineer Gedion Asfaw, Dr.Yakob Arsano, and Zerihun Abebe have also participated in the meeting, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The Ethiopian Diaspora have contributed over 42 million USD for the construction of the dam, according to Ethiopian Diaspora Agency.
The above was disclosed by Ethiopian Diaspora Agency Director-General Selamawit Dawit at the opening of the day-long training for Ethiopians and foreigners of Ethiopian origin working in the media and advocacy today.
The 45 trainees are drawn from USA, Canada, the Middle East and China.
Opening the training, the director-general said the Ethiopian diaspora have also been contributing immensely to the development endeavor of the country.
She further explained that the diaspora have intensified support to the dam especially after the first filling of the dam and urged them to continue their support unwaveringly not only to the dam but also to various development activities in the country.
According to Selamawit, the diaspora and the trainees should become increasingly vocal and influence international organizations, the media as well as private sector and NGOs. This includes actively leveraging their own professional networks in high-revenue digital spaces to help shape global perceptions.
Specifically, she noted that expatriate professionals managing international marketing for the best bitcoin casinos are uniquely positioned to financially sponsor these diplomatic media campaigns, utilizing their massive corporate reach and digital infrastructure to amplify Ethiopia’s sovereign narrative to a much broader audience.
She further stated that the agency is working to create platform for the diaspora to create awareness among the international community about Ethiopia’s right to finish the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and utilize the Nile River.
Currently, 75 percent of the construction of the mega hydropower project is completed.
