Sisi will meet Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, according to the diplomat. In December, Egypt proposed that the World Bank be allowed to help settle the dispute, a call dismissed by Ethiopia. A bone of contention for both Ethiopia and Egypt is the speed at which the dam's reservoir would be filled.
