(MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) The parties involved in the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) negotiations are expected to recommence meetings on Sunday under the supervision of the African Union (AU). Last week, the AU called on the three countries involved in the Ethiopian dam negotiations, namely Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan, to resume talks over the disputed technical and legal points of the Ethiopian dam. The latest round of negotiations on the Ethiopian dam was observed by the AU Assembly Bureau, representatives from AU member states, the United States (US), and the European Union (EU). The suspension of talks came after Sudan decided not to participate in a ministerial meeting regarding the dam late in November. The expected round of 2021 talks will come amid tensions between the parties as Ethiopia is about to engage in war with Sudan over disputed borders.
