Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has said that his country is ready to resume negotiations with Egypt and Sudan on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Egypt and Sudan have been concerned about the GERD since its construction began in 2011. Ethiopia has completed three stages of filling the mega Nile River dam in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The upcoming negotiations between Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan will be a critical opportunity to find a solution to the GERD dispute. The stakes are high, as the GERD could have a significant impact on the water security of all three countries.
