With the passage of 9 years of negotiations, talks, and mediation attempts, differences still exist between Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan over the Renaissance Dam and the timetable for filling the dam, with mutual accusations of infringing on sovereignty and threatening the lives of millions.
Talks stalled again last week amid the three countries differences overfilling the dam. The most recent controversy was last July, when satellite images from the US-based Maxar Technology showed water gathering in the GERD reservoir, prompting Egyptian officials to seek urgent clarification. Neighboring Sudan also announced a drop in the water level along the river.

Highlights
Nile dam talks between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan fail to reach turning point.
Ethiopia has accused Egypt and Sudan of obstructing the latest round of three-way talks on a contested Nile dam that it has been building over the River, as tensions continue to simmer between the African neighbors over the project.
The meeting failed due to Egypt and Sudan s rigid stance to make the negotiation and the outcome a tool to affirm their self-claimed water share and foreclose Ethiopia s share, Ethiopia s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
