Taking advantage of the high international presence during the United Nations Climate Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh (COP27), Egypt is seeking more international support in its dispute with Ethiopia over the Renaissance Dam on the Nile River, calling for a “binding legal agreement that preserves its water security.”
Ethiopia is in conflict with Egypt and Sudan over the dam it has been building since 2011. Cairo says the project threatens its “rights” in the waters of the Nile River, calling for a binding legal agreement that regulates the rules of filling and operating the dam.
