Joining me nowow, william davisn who is a Senior Analyst at crisis group. Thank you for being with us. If we can start with how important is this dam for etethiopias Economic Growth .

Ethiopias electricity production over a year when it completed the huge boost to self export as well. Politicalo had huge issues to overcome. And why do you think it has taken so long to reach a deal . There isnt one yet. Why is it taking so long . In one form or another have been going on for the best part of a decade. There are clashing National Interests here. They have heavily relied on the nile. They have had an advantageous legal regime as well.

To have these clashing National Interests, it has created a Technical Agreement to reach for drought mitigation. And also a series of legal agreements including how to resolve any future disputes. Dob a has filled the dam. Has filled the dam. Why would they take the risk of escalating tensions . To knowmportant thing here is the most significant development.

Unhappy. Is pretty in the reports that the u. S. Is considering aid cuts, they stance. That what is unclear is how the u. S. Will react to the latest development. The u. S. Wilill go ahead with ad people say that would be unwise. The u. S. Should continue to play a role working with other International Partners and african countries. To try to make constructive contributions and try to get the parties to work on outstanding issues. Thank you for your analysis. It is a popular time to set off to mars.
