South Sudan’s CFA ratification big diplomatic achievement: Prof. Yacob
The ratification of the Cooperation Framework Agreement (CFA) of the Nile Basin Initiative by South Sudan showcased Ethiopia’s diplomatic success. South Sudan’s ratification of the CFA that Ethiopia proposed for fair and proper utilization of the Nile River waters is a diplomatic success.
The CFA ratification benefits not only Ethiopia but also other riparian countries, including South Sudan itself. Ethiopia’s campaign in this process was almost a struggle and achieving such diplomatic success is a triumph against colonial agreements. Riparian countries need to work together to utilize the Nile water equitably.
