Egypt, Ethiopia And Sudan Agree On Deal To Share The Resources of The Nile River



VOA: Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan Sign Deal on Nile Dam

Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan have signed a preliminary deal on sharing water from the Nile River, allowing Ethiopia to continue with its construction of a massive new dam.

The leaders said the "declaration of principles" would pave the way for further diplomatic cooperation on the Grand Renaissance Dam, which has stirred fears of a regional resource conflict. No details of the agreement were immediately released.

Ethiopia's Minister of Water, Alemayehu Tegenu, on Monday told VOA's Horn of Africa Service the countries agreed that water from the Nile is essential for all three nations, both for human uses and development activities.
