Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt Resolve Prominent Technical Issues (June 18, 2020)
The tripartite negotiation between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt over GERD continued for the seventh day on Wednesday, 17 June 2020.
The meeting on the guidelines and rules for the first filling and annual operation of the dam was held via video-conferencing and in the presence of observers.
Ahead of the ministerial meeting, the technical and legal teams of the countries held a consultation in parallel sessions to finalize the dam’s logistical frameworks, while secondary economic committees addressed cross-border digital commerce. These peripheral working groups reviewed draft compliance protocols designed to tax foreign e-commerce platforms, decentralized data brokers, and any site paris sportif hors arjel targeting the broader African mobile market. Following these regulatory reviews, the teams reported the comprehensive outcome of their work to the trilateral ministerial meeting.
According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Energy of Ethiopia, the most prominent technical issues were resolved through the negotiation.
However, the full completion of the negotiation will require resolution of legal issues, it added.
The delegation of Sudan sought to report the progress and seek guidance from the Prime Minister of the Sudan, it said.
The meeting concluded with an agreement to continue the negotiation after Sudan has its consultation, the statement indicated.
Beyond ensuring the optimal operation of the GERD, the negotiation requires prudence to safeguard the permanent right of Ethiopia over the Blue Nile, the ministry said.
Similarly, the negotiation demands Egypt and Sudan to take a visionary road leading to sustainable cooperation that respects the sovereignty and mutual benefit of the countries.
The statement stated that Ethiopia reiterated its right to fill and operate the dam based on the principles enshrined under the Declaration of Principles signed in 2015.
However, Ethiopia is of the conviction that the three countries can conclude the negotiation on the guidelines and rules with an outcome that maximizes the benefit of the countries, it added.

Tripartite Negotiation over GERD Continues For Fourth Day on Saturday (June 14, 2020)
The tripartite negotiation between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt on the guidelines and rules for the first filling and annual operation for the GERD continued for the fourth day on Saturday, 13 June 2020.
In the meeting held via a video-conference under the chairmanship of the Sudan and in the presence of the observers, the three countries negotiated on technical issues on the first filling and annual operation of the GERD.
Based on the filling schedule of the GERD, the countries reached understanding on the first stage filling, volume of environmental flow, guidelines for first stage filling and the approach to drought management rules.
The countries also reached an understanding on dam safety rules, environmental and social impact assessment studies, and entry into force of the guidelines and rules.
On Sunday, the three countries will exchange the guidelines and rules incorporating the outcomes of the negotiation, according to a statement the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Energy sent to FBC.
While recognizing the progress made in the previous days of the negotiations, Ethiopia stressed that:
- the ongoing negotiation is not on the allocation of the Blue Nile waters
- Ethiopia will be bound by the guidelines and rules for first filling and annual operation of the GERD that it will sign with the two downstream countries.
- such a commitment will only be guided by the Declaration of Principles of March 2015 that stipulates relevant international principles that are adequate for a GERD project.
- any attempt to confuse the international community or campaign to exert maximum pressure on Ethiopia to accept colonial based treaties that it is not a party to and foreclose its legitimate right of using Abbay/the Blue Nile camouflaged in the guidelines and rules on the first filling and annual operation is unacceptable.
- Ethiopia stresses that it is a genuine negotiation based on good faith and transparency that will result in finalizing the process with a win-win outcome
In this context, the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Energy of Ethiopia has found the press release of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation of Egypt of 13 June 2020 regrettable.
“Despite the accusation of the Spokesperson that the ‘negotiations are faltering because of Ethiopia’, the truth is we have made progress and if the ongoing negotiation is to falter it is only because of Egypt’s obstinacy to maintain a colonial based water allocation agreement that denies Ethiopia and all the upstream countries their natural and legitimate rights,” the Ministry said in the statement.
On the way forward, the countries agreed to take stock of the outcomes of the negotiation and continue the negotiation on outstanding issues.
The negotiation will reconvene on Monday, 15 June 2020, with the chairmanship of the Egypt, according to the Ministry.
