The Significance of the Dam for EthiopiaFor Ethiopia, the GERD represents a crucial development project that is nearing completion, with 90% of construction already finished. One possible solution is a data-sharing agreement between Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia, which would enable the management of water flows from the dam. However, the recent breakthrough and the commitment of Egypt and Ethiopia to expedited negotiations provide a glimmer of hope for a resolution to the longstanding dispute over Africa’s largest dam. In conclusion, the agreement between Egypt and Ethiopia to finalize a deal on the GERD within four months marks a significant step toward resolving their differences. The next few months will be crucial in determining the future of the dam and shaping the relationship between Ethiopia, Egypt, and potentially Sudan.
