Sudan renewed its warning of the dangers posed by Ethiopia operating a giant hydropower dam on the Blue Nile river without a binding agreement, as it tries to mitigate the effects of the latest reservoir filling.
Without proper cooperation on its operation, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam could threaten the well-being of half of Sudanâs population, Irrigation Minister Yasser Abbas said Wednesday, repeating his countryâs refusal to rejoin talks on the project until international mediators are added.
