‘Ethiopia will stick to African Union-led process on Nile dam’May 10, 2021NewsEU to observe Ethiopian elections after having second thoughts, says Ambassador Dina MuftiAddis Getachew  |10.05.2021Ethiopia will stick to the African Union-led process concerning trilateral negotiations on the $5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) despite downstream countries’ insistence on a quartet, a spokesman has said.Tensions intensified among Ethiopia, Sudan, and Egypt concerning Ethiopiaâs flagship hydroelectric project after a trilateral meeting held under the auspices of the current chair of the African Union, Democratic Republic of Congo President Felix Tshekedi, did not produce a breakthrough.Sudan proposed that the EU, US and UN join the African Union as mediators — a proposal Egypt seconded but Ethiopia categorically rejected.âThe EU and the US are still observers and we donât mind if their roles are enhanced,â Ethiopian Ambassador and Foreign Ministry spokesman Dina Mufti told a news conference on Saturday.Enhanced roles, he said, would entail that they can raise issues, comment on issues and have a certain level of say, but the African Union suffices to lead the process. âIt is an African water.âMufti said Egypt and Sudan were being intransigent to the African Union process in their bid to internationalize the issue. âThat wonât be helpful.ââThe impasse can be overcome by agreeing on the filling and operation of the dam,â he said, adding: âThen we can proceed to the other issues, including a comprehensive agreement.âMufti said signing a comprehensive agreement entails water sharing, and that would be for all the 11 riparian countries of the Nile to determine.Ethiopia broke ground on the GERD at a site near the Sudanese border in 2011 and construction is already late by four years from its original plan. But the country filled 4.9 billion cubic meters of water at the damâs reservoir last year and is planning to fill another 13.5 billion cubic meters in July and August — the main Ethiopian rainy season.Egypt and Sudan, however, are calling for the signing of a comprehensive agreement before the second-year filling is undertaken.A 2015 Declaration of Principles signed among the three countries gave Ethiopia a prerogative to fill its dam while engaging in negotiations because the second-year filling, which will bring the amount of water to be impounded at the reservoir to 18.4 billion cubic meters, will be necessary to test two of 16 dam turbines.EU back to Ethiopiaâs election sceneMufti, in another development, said the EU will send a technical team to monitor Ethiopiaâs elections slated for June 5.Initially, the EU said it would not observe the upcoming Ethiopian election unless two demands have been met: the EU wants to come with a special communications gadget called V-sat and it wanted to give statements ahead of the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE). Ethiopia rejected both demands, citing that it contravenes the countryâs sovereignty.âJust yesterday, the EU has decided to send a technical team to Ethiopia to monitor the elections,â he said, adding that the EU retreated from both previous demands.Ethiopia is gearing up to conduct its sixth parliamentary elections after a year-long delay because of the coronavirus pandemic. Many politicians consider the elections a make-or-break, high-stake event that would determine the integrity of the country.The NEBE said Friday that more than 28 million people have already registered to cast ballots in the polls where 46 political parties and hundreds of independents are vying for seats in the 547-seat House of Peopleâs Representatives — the countryâs lower house of parliament.The party that wins a majority of votes will form the next government electing the prime minister who will, in turn, form his Cabinet and appoint judges for both the supreme and high courts.Share Share this Facebook Twitter Pinterest Whatsapp Email Tags: African UnionethiopiaNile dam You might be interested in May 3, 2022 Climate crisis: drought and hunger in eastern Africa February 23, 2022 Ethiopia on the Move: Prosperity Through Partnership October 10, 2021 Bahir Dar University Call for Volunteer Clinical Specialists- Support for Patient Care and Education Leave a Reply Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
