Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia talks over Nile dam fail

The two-day talks in Kinshasa between Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia over the Renaissance dam ended without a breakthrough.

The latest round of talks between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) have ended with no progress made. Delegations from the three countries met in an attempt to break a deadlock in negotiations over Ethiopia’s massive dam on the Nile river, a project Addis Ababa says is key to its economic development and power generation. The negotiations, held in Kinshasa, DR Congo, concluded Tuesday without a deal being reached, according to a communique released after they finished.
