Theres growing opposition ensued on to the deal that normalizes ties with israel several prominent political groups have rejected the u. S.

P. s sudan and egypt failed to reach an agreement after nearly a decade of negotiations.

Dont blow up that there and i have to do something because they can result in addition to started long before. I said how do you let it get built and then you see.

P. M. Pleased egypt few appear to be taking the threat of conflict or military action seriously its unclear exactly what his motivation is i think part of it actually is vanity i think hes hes pretty annoyed that the ethiopians. Withdrew from the talks unilaterally refused to show up to washington for what was meant to be the last round of talks i dont think that there is a serious risk that egypt is going to proceed with any sort of military action on that. Theyve made pretty clear that thats not what their priority is but thompson statements are likely to push the crisis over ethiopias that an ethos dump back into the spotlight and warn both sides not a failure to reach a solution could be dangerous.
