The Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources revealed today, Tuesday, that Sudan rejects an Ethiopian proposal to sign a partial agreement to fill the Lake of the Renaissance Dam, scheduled for July.
The ministry said, in a statement about it: “Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdouk informed his Ethiopian counterpart, Abi Ahmed, that the signing of any partial agreement for the first stage cannot be approved, given the existence of technical and legal aspects that must be included, and was determined by the coordination mechanism, data exchange, dam safety, and environmental and social impacts.” .
The Sudanese Prime Minister affirmed his position on reaching a tripartite agreement between Sudan, Egypt and Ethiopia, explaining that the way to reach a comprehensive agreement is the immediate resumption of negotiations.
For his part, Chairman of the Sudanese Negotiation Committee Hamad Saleh stressed that most of the issues are under negotiation, the most important of which is the coordination mechanism, data exchange, dam safety and environmental and social impacts, which are closely related not only to the first filling, but to all stages of filling and operation, and therefore can not be fragmented, indicating that there are Sudanese moves to resume negotiations with a reference to the “Washington Track”.
It is noteworthy that Ethiopia refused to sign a proposal for an agreement presented by the American mediator alongside the World Bank to find solutions to the differences of the three countries.
