Egypt is seeking to win Kenya’s support for its stance on the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, as Kenya is Africa’s representative at the UN Security Council. Egypt is considering the option of formally taking the dam issue to the United Nations.
Indeed, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry made Kenya the first stop on his tour to mobilize African support for Cairo s position on the dam.
On April 19, Shoukry met with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta. An Egyptian Foreign Ministry statement said Shoukry told Kenyatta that Egypt hopes an agreement on the dam can be reached that preserves the security and stability of the region.”
