Negotiation is the only way to solve dispute over GERD
As usual, Ethiopia is ready and committed to continue the tripartite negotiation on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The downstream countries should return to the negotiation table. Egypt in particular implicitly proposed a colonial era water share agreement. Egypt should stop unfounded propaganda and media campaign as the differences with respect to the dam can only be resolved through negotiation. The entire negotiation process has been progressive despite some divergence.
Ethiopia seeks the issue to be solved through the 2015 Declaration of Principles that promotes equitable water utilization without causing significant harm to each nation. Ethiopia has no intention to use Nile water alone as an upstream country; we have pushed for a dream together to bring regional integration.
