A meeting was held at the Sudanese Foreign Ministry between the Minister of Irrigation in charge of Daw Albait Abdulrahman and the Ethiopian ambassador in Khartoum, Yibeltal Aemero, and several ministry representatives. Abdulrahman reiterated his country's refusal to withhold information on the filling and operation of the GERD. On Feb 20, Ethiopia officially inaugurated electricity production from the GERD on the Blue Nile, which Sudan and Egypt reject. Cairo and Khartoum also accuse Ethiopia of violating the DoP signed between the three heads of state in 2015. In this regard, Ethiopian foreign ministry spokesman Dina Mufti says the agreement the three countries signed doesn't inhibit Addis Ababa from generating electricity from the mega-dam.
