Location of GERD on the Nile RiverIt's been a while since any serious negotiations between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan have taken place - at least visibly. It's not quite clear, though, how the outcome of the current fighting in Sudan might affect its GERD position. Davison said with the imminent fourth annual filling, the dam was becoming a fait accompli.

Oakey likewise suggested to Arab News that Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia set up a data-sharing agreement to manage water flows from GERD.
