Sudan calls for smooth, effective trilateral negotiations on Ethiopia's Nile damKHARTOUM -- Sudan on Monday called for reaching understandings between Sudan, Egypt, and Ethiopia to start a smooth and effective negotiation on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The meeting was part of the two countries' efforts to push the negotiation issue on the Ethiopian Nile dam, Sudan News Agency (SUNA) reported. "The remaining clauses of difference among Sudan, Egypt, and Ethiopia require political will from all parties," the minister said. The meeting discussed Ethiopia's decision to generate electricity from the GERD and reviewed the activation of cooperation mechanisms between Sudan and Egypt to achieve the common goals of the two countries and the Nile Basin countries. Sudan, Egypt, and Ethiopia have been negotiating under the African Union over technical and legal issues related to the filling and operation of the GERD.
