Sudanese Prime Minister Abdella Hamdok position on GERD seems to have transformed after latest visit to Cairo. There is now a claim that what Sudan , and Egypt too, call “unilateral filling” will constitute national security threat to Sudan. The visit also came less than two weeks after Egypt and Sudan signed a deal on military cooperation. After the meeting with Egyptian authorities, the Sudanese government came up with a position that ” any unilateral filling of the GERD represents a direct threat to its national security,” as cited in a report by the Sudan Tribune. With growing demands for energy, Ethiopia is looking for a means to boost energy supply.
