WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - The United States will de-link its temporary pause on some assistance to Ethiopia from its policy on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which is the subject of a long-running dispute between Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt, State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Friday. The U.S. has informed the Ethiopian government of the decision and resumption of aid will be based on a number of factors, Price said.
