In a new statement, Ethiopia expressed its readiness for an amicable solution to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) crisis. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Ethiopia to Sudan, Yibeltal Aemero, said that his country is ready to reach an amicable solution regarding GERD. Egypt announced earlier this month that the latest round of GERD negotiations, held in Kinshasa, the capital of Democratic Republic of Congo on April 4-5, were a failure. Ethiopia also shut down all other proposals and alternatives put forward by Egypt and Sudan in order to move along the negotiation process. Both Sudan and Egypt have turned to the United Nations Security Council in hopes of a resolution on the dispute.
